Eli Manning retiring

[msgkings322]

yeah thankfully he won his last game so he didnt finish his career under .500

He has played in 236 games (started 234) & has 244 INTs!

HOFer Joe Namath has more INTs than TDs

See above.
Only real reason he got in was his guarantee in a time there wasnt a lot of media exposure.
Nowadays outlandish things are said all the time. Wouldnt have been a big deal.

BTW. If using Joe namath as a goto, to prove he should get in. Should be the very argument said player shouldnt get in.

The football HOF is notoriously loose. Everyone gets in. Joe Namath says hi. Eli is getting in and good for him, good guy, deserves it as much as many there

Yeah, pretty much. The football Hall of Fame doesn't care that much if you were an elite player. Elite players get in, of course, but the football hall of fame is really a Hall of Good.

Colour when there was zip, zilch, nada.

exactly. Which has nothing to do with him being a shitty QB. Winston throws for a lot of yards & TDs. Does he belong in the HOF? hell no!

Would NFL history be the same without him?

Or Eli?

Will Suzy Kolber ever be the same?

To be fair, a lot of Sportshooplans think that Jameis wINsTon is HOF worthy.

Like I said the football HOF is crazy easy to get in. And it's Hall of Fame, not Hall of awesome. Namath defined sports fame.

Good player....

Eli is a special player.

 

[eaglesnut]

Destroyed his legacy so bad that Brady'll still go down as the GOAT. Whoop-de-doo!

You're right, that was a nice undefeated season for Brady. Unparalleled. Oh wait.

Admit it. Eli fucked your mom and now you cry about it daily.

 

[Godstree]

I wonder if he is going to move to sunny southern cali. Around the san diego area. Just to see what he missed.

 

[handicappers]

Eli has more super bowls than the entire Eagles organization.

First ballot HOF...he's a Manning and they have a lot of influence.

A person would only think that Eli's numbers make him HOF worthy if a person doesn't properly understand Eli's stats. Yes, he compiled a bunch of stats, and his durability is remarkable, but he was a mediocre QB pretty much the whole time.

That said, I think that Eli will make it to the HOF. Undeserving, but he'll make it.

So you don't properly understand the numbers? LOL

So you don't properly understand the numbers? LOL

I don't think you do

 

[Myles]

I don't think he should be in the HOF. Not even close in my opinion. But I'm one who would like to see the criteria be a bit tougher.
Eli wasn't a top 5 player at his position in any year he played. I think you have to be around the top 3 at your position fo at least 1-2 years.

 

[tabascojet]

he is only retiring because no one had any interest in letting him continue elsewhere....
