Rivals season 17

looks like Oakland is moving more towards a younger quarterback has they traded Manning to new england Gordon Manning's new england quarterback rating was 91.6 throwing for 4,432 yards and 34 touchdowns and 13 interceptions and leading the team to 5 - 12 records they did not make the playoffs. Manning is the #2 ranked quarterback in the league based on his overall rating putting him in the top 1% of quarterbacks. Manning says what's up man how has retirement been. Elliot says it's been going, great man. I have a baby on the way now. life is pretty good. but am not going to lie I do miss the game training camp preseason on the grass. Manning says the grass dude you sound crazy. Elliot says yea but you look crazy they traded you. Manning says yea they got a new younger quarterback and got me out of there and put weapons around him. which was crazy because new england had two good receivers I could have thrown the ball to. Elliot says Man all you need is one good receiver and a good running good. Manning says yea you should tell them that. Elliot says yea I know it's hard for them to listen when your almost forty they don't believe in you anymore. they won't tell you that but they will show you by action. As time is going down do you think you will get that Superbowl? Manning says honestly no. The league is too overpowered now. it's hard to even make the playoffs now. Elliot says Man it sounds like you're giving up. Manning says nope not yet I still have some fight left in this body and as long as I do u will compete. but if they don't rebuild around me I don't wanna work for this franchise anymore I am here to win I am tired of losing games year in and year out. Elliot says manning you told me it's the quarterback's job to make sure. the team makes the playoffs and everything. Manning man, I was just talking they have to build around you. to make you a superstar as well I can't win with a bad offensive line and not good receivers who do they expect me to be? Elliot says now you know what I was talking about when I was playing it's hard to win when you are around players that are not playing at the top level. It and all the media do is talk bad about you. If I knew it was this bad I would have just played basketball. Elliot laughs and says it can't be that bad. I mean that's the job of the quarterback you are the Rock star you have to make everything come together. and I believe In you, man. you still have a chance to get better as time goes by. look at what you doing. working out every off-season you are better than all these other quarterbacks they bring in the league. I know you will lead this Team or any other team to a super bowl. Manning says super bowl? at this point, I just wanna make the playoffs again and feel that atmosphere. Elliot says I know it's a whole new world in the playoffs. everything is different. but you will get there man. you still have two or three good seasons left in you. I believe in you. I am watching you every Sunday and out here every off-season working with you to get better. As long as I'm here just know you always have no one that supports you. Manning says thanks man I appreciate that.
