I guess Barry Sanders is a big whiner. He retired before he would go back and play for the Lions.
I guess Bo Jackson is a big whiner since he sat out of the draft to avoid being drafted by (forgot the team).
These guys, especially QB's know that if they get drafted 1st, they're going to be a franchise QB and it will be HARD to get out of the deal. If I were in Eli's shoes, I don't know what I would have done. I'm not sure the Chargers owner is willing to spend money to get a supporting cast good enough to make that football team what it needs to be. Eli Manning KNOWS that wherever he goes, he'll likely be there for all or a heavy majority of his career. I think that a man should have a small say in where he goes. For example, if you went to a job fair and they decided to have a job draft, so you said hell, I'll sign up. First pick is more money than I make now. And since Jim's Chicken Farm was first on the draft order and are in desperate need for a shit shoveler, and you fill all the qualities they look for in a shit shovler. Would you say, "Well, I'm normally a computer programmer, but I don't want to whine." Fuck no, you'd say screw off Jim, this is my life and I should be able to make my decesions. It's not as if QB's can give their two weeks notice and leave. They sign often longterm contracts and Eli knew he didn't want to be a charger.
I think if they wanna bitch about it, go ahead until they sign a contract. It's when you sign a contract that whining becomes a real problem.
You think John Elway would be HoF calliber player with New England? I highly doubt it.
