Haven't seen this level of humility in a long time. Even with the entire nation yelling "bad call, coach", he saluted and let the next in command take over. I think we've all seen bosses or appointed leaders who would've fought to hold on and put the team second. This was really hard to watch last week, but a great lesson in leadership.

Never been an Eli fan after his draft issue with San Diego. But, this certainly has changed my mind...

He did the right thing and thought of his team first, giving the best chance for success to the other quarterbacks instead of focusing on his streak of starts. That is a product of good upbringing. I have little doubt that is a lesson learned from watching and learning from his dad for many years. You don't stumble into that sort of character.

His response is highly commendable. Though I am not a particularly boisterous Manning family fan, I do believe that both Eli and Peyton learned a lot about respect, teamwork, and commitment from their father, Archie. It's not easy being in the public spotlight all these years like they have been, but the boys have handled it remarkably well, far better than most, I'd say.
