I had nothing against San Diego or the people of San Diego when I made this decision. ... My decision was not based on where I'd be living. It was about being there and playing football there for possibly six or seven years with a contract, and it just didn't seem like the right fit for me.
More Quotes from Eli Manning:
Our high school used to play there every year. When I got around, we canceled that. We never played there. I grew up going to all the games with my dad. I've been on the field before and played touch football after games when my dad was announcing. It would have been fun to play in your home town. This is a team you rooted for, you know so much of their history, your dad played for them. I grew up a Saints fan.Eli Manning

Eli Manning
I think my teammates have trust in me that I can handle things, that it's hard to get under my skin.

We're doing some good things, hitting some big plays, but we've got to keep getting better. There are still plays out there that we're missing because I didn't make the throws.
