Eli Manning

[TheRobotDevil]

Eli is a lot more deserving of a hall of fame bud than Tom Brady. Brady is just a product of a system. And Brady also plays in a far weaker division. I think that has been very evident in their head to head match ups. Eli has beaten Brady every time it counts.

That's ridiculous. Brady is more than just part of a system. He's one of the best pure QBs who ever played. He's had dog crap at receiver compared to super-spoiled Peyton or Kurt Warner (who deserves to be in the top 4 or 4 of all time IMO).

But the one thing he has that no other HOF QB has is a record of cheating during his SB runs. His legacy is tainted, and that's why I'll never include him in the conversation of GOAT as far as his career is concerned. All 3 of his SB victories were win by 3 points. Cheating can easily account for 3 points.

If Eli wins a Superbowl this season, I'll vote for him myself!

Without Bellichick, A good offensive system, Vinataris leg, cheating and a weak division what is Brady. Brady has had his share of recievers Moss, Weller, Branch, Grokoski. I can not see Brady functioning on the same level with any other team. Put Eli in his place an I would bet he has or surpasses Brady's success.

Is Tom Brady still a HOFer after the crappy year he's having? (Rhetorical question)

___________________________

Crappy year for Brady as Brady's years usually go but as it's going now it would be a damn good year for Eli. Brady's year will change when Gronk comes back. Although 5 - 1 isn't to shabby but 0 - 6, you got some splainning to do Eli.

I haven't been on these boards for long, but this is definitely one of the most ridiculous posts I've ever read.

We'll have to wait and see, but Brady is a no doubt first ballot hall of famer. Eli does not have a chance in hell of being a first ballot guy at this point.

Never was.

How many wins does Tom Brady have in big games vs Eli?

 

[SonnyCID]

Right after Kurt Warner.

 

[TheRobotDevil]

This is exactly why I have always viewed Brady as nothing but hype. You don't have to agree. But an explanation or facts as to why you think Brady is more deserving. Or an opinion as to why you disagree with what I have written would help your case.

Eli manning is still a good qb just trying to do to much imo

_______________________________________

I would ask how many wins does Brady have over Peyton Manning in big games but that would be just as assinine as your question.

How many times has Brady taken his team to the playoff and SB and how many times has Eli taken his. If that doesn't answer your question as to who happens to be the better QB than you're beyond help. So when it comes to big games Eli doesn't hold a candle to Brady, he just gets lucky now and then.

Q&A with Eli "I forgot why I didn't want to play for S.D

One of the most entertaining things about the Eli Manning-Philip Rivers trade 10 years later is that Manning still won't admit why he was so adamant about not playing for the Chargers.

During his session with reporters today, he was pressed again but claimed that, after a decade, the memory has pretty much been scrubbed from his mind.

Here is the breakdown, presented in Q and A format:

Ten years later, what was the reason you were against it?

"I forgot, I think."

Obviously there was something, I mean, come on...

"I just can't remember, it's been 10 years. It slipped my mind."

Was it about trying to maneuver to the right organization?

"Ten years ago, I don't know. I can't remember."

There was a mystery that day, like some people said you wouldn't even put the Chargers hat on when you were drafted.

"Did I put the hat on? No? I didn't put the hat on?" "I just, my hair was feeling good that day. I didn't want to mess it up."

Earlier, Manning was asked if there was something about the city he didn't like. he didn't cite that as part of the reason, either.

"I have nothing against San Diego as a city," Manning said. "We had our rookie symposium there and besides that, we've had a few other things, I know it's a beautiful city and great weather. There's a lot of great things to it."

Manning was, obviously, booed during his first matchup against San Diego and said he wouldn't use the word "love" to describe the relationship. But, after all these years, it seems he respects them enough not to go into detail about why he chose the Giants.
