since we are at 98 players, I was wondering if we would have to cut down to 90 now-- -

If you have to explain the importance of Adam to somebody, theb they'll never get it. They just refuse to accept coldnhard facts. -
I'm not dismissing that, but again, that's why Eli had a better career than Rivers, because he put those runs together, even though Rivers was the better player, but that doesn't mean the Giants "clearly won the trade" like you said. Rivers only started 6 more games than Eli and played in 8 more than him, but despite that, Rivers had 17 more wins, 6,400 more yards, 55 more TDs, 35 less INTs, and a 4.5% better completions, while making 8 Pro Bowls to Eli's 4, and all those extra stats came in somehow only a total of 15 more pass attempts in his career than Eli had. The SB's are really the only part of their careers that Eli was better than Rivers, so there's a very real argument to be made that had the Giants not made the trade and just kept Rivers, they very well might have had even more success than they did under Eli, and because of that, I can't say they won the trade itself.
