New York Giants QB Eli Manning said he is looking to improve his accuracy because his completion percentage has dropped each of the last two seasons. ‘Being more accurate and better on our deep balls,’ Manning said. ‘Our big plays were down last year, and that’s a big part of our offense. We’re going to use play-action, we’re going to get the ball down the field. We’re not scared about pushing the ball down the field. But it’s good when it pays off and you hit big plays and game-changing plays. Last year, I think we had opportunities to hit them and we just didn’t hit them. So I think that’s what we’ve got to get better at, is just kind of connecting on some of those deep balls.’

Footballguys View: Ah if becoming more accurate as a passer was just a function of how hard a quarterback tried to improve that quality. Still, Manning is a value as a high QB2 that you can get in the 11th round or later. With good health from Hakeem Nicks and continued development from Rueben Randle, Manning could easily be a QB1 at season’s end.
