PHOENIX -- If you're a faithful reader of Snap Judgments, by now you probably know that I cringe at the mere mention of the media's determined effort to declare that Eli Manning has (take your pick) come of age, turned the corner, arrived, or just this very second produced his breakthrough performance as the Giants' franchise quarterback.


We in the media are like the hyper kids in the proverbial back seat of the car on a family vacation yelling "Are we there yet? Are we there yet?'' We've been so eager to define Manning's defining moment that most of the past three seasons have been given over to taking an almost week-by-week temperature reading of his development as an NFL quarterback.

He could win the superbowl and be the MVP and it would not be enough to satisfy some people. I am not a big supporter of his, but he has proven to me that at least he belongs in the NFL now.
