So Was The Extension Worth It?

There are two sides to the extension. One side calls the Giants crazy for spending all of the money (97.5 million over 6 years with 35 million guarenteed). The other side agrees with the Giants and believe they needed to lock down the now face of their franchise who led their team to a superbowl.

Of the 8 Quarterbacks mentioned: 3 have won Superbowls during the Eli Manning Era. Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger.

What do you think? Was the extension worth it?
