I just don't understand how a QB can keep missing the playoffs and throwing interceptions and media and fans continue to say the things below because of 2 SB that happened in the past
1. No Offensive Line
2. Receivers running wrong route
3. No Running Game
I'd say look to the changes in the teams from year to year.
But your ridiculing Manning for the clutch play of the year is insane. I looked at the film again. One of the players that had manning by the jersey was Richard Seymour. He played in 7 Pro Bowls, was named to 3 All Pro teams, and may be one of the best D-linemen playing in the NFL. You don't "stumble" and get away from players like that. You scramble and fight to stay upright and keep playing.
I just looked again. There were several changes on the roster after SB42. The one that stands out to me is Gibril Wilson becoming a free agent and leaving. He is the one who batted down Brady's hail Mary pass to win the Super Bowl. In 4 years with the Giants Wilson had 360 tackles, 6 sacks, and 11 INTs. Talent changes and the chemistry changes.
But please feel free to tell us any QB who won SB after SB after SB.
Mr. Brady
Right, so either Manning has the best record of any active QB, or he is below average? lmao
Brady has been in the NFL 13 years. He has led his team to 5 SBs and won 3. In other words, he has also lost 2 SBs. 13 years and 3 SB wins. He has won a Super Bowl 23% of the time.
Manning has been in the NFL for 9 years. He led his team to 2 SBs and won both. In other words, he has not lost a Super bowl. 9 years and 2 SB wins. He has won a Super Bowl 22% of the time.
I'd call that more than average.
I don't know anyone who is saying Eli Manning is the best QB. But he is damn sure better than average.
