Kurt Warner, of course, has been where Manning is now. Here are some of Warner’s thoughts on Manning and Daniel Jones:
“The biggest challenge is that your leash is always short,” Warner said last month at the NFL Draft in Nashville. “The biggest challenge is performing every single week, and anytime you slip up, no matter how good you’ve been, it’s an opportunity for everybody to sit back and go ‘Is it time? Is he hitting the wall?’ Two (bad) games in a row and it’s ‘Oh my gosh!’ “
Warner thinks Manning will handle the situation with class:
“I think Eli will be a great mentor to whoever is in that room,” Warner said.
