Why is Eli Manning not considered not a average QB?

[rightwinger]

Eli is a HOF QB

He has something the others don't.......Historic Playoff wins

Defeated an 18-0 team on a last second SB win
Came back with a last second TD drive to win a second SB
Defeated a 15-1 GB team in the playoffs
Beat the great Brett Favre in overtime in GB in sub zero temperatures
Beat a 13-3 SF team on the road in OT

So if he misses the playoffs every season until he retires is he still a HOF QB?

He has punched his ticket

If you bother to check, Eli's career numbers are pretty damned good
His playoff numbers are off the charts

As for Tony Romo. He has won one playoff game in his inconsistent career. And I see nothing in the works that is going to change this in 14-15.

rings don't make you a better QB. Why is that so hard for you to understand?

It is hard to take your criticisms seriously when you want to deny him a SB win because you think there was some luck involved or that it wasn't a pretty play.

He threw 5 at home vs Seattle last season on Dec 15.

One career playoff win does? Romo is not in the top ten QBs. Face it and then move on.

And 3 of them was probably because a defender was coming after him

I didn't say Romo was in the top 10, I say he is better than Eli

It is OK to throw the ball at the feet of your receiver with no penalty if the player is beyond the LOS.

Exactly, I never understood why he was so scary

Depends on whether you want a fantasy football QB or one that wins big games

But he doesn't win if the missed the playoffs 2 years in a row

One playoff win in his career vs. Two Super Bowl wins.....hhhhmmmmm

Which QB will make the HOF and be remembered as one of the best during his career and which will only be remembered for Choking in the playoffs? Decisions....Decisions......

The Giants have been at best an average team for the last ten years Eli has been there. Those 9-7 and 10-6 records don't ensure you a playoff spot.

Where the Giants are different is that Coach Coughlin and Eli Manning have been able to take those average football teams and win two championships. Much of that is due to Eli Mannings ability to come up big in big games

Eli Manning's chances of getting into another Super Bowl let alone winning one in the next 5 years is practically zero.

Seattle, Santa Clara or Green Bay will represent the NFC in the forseeable future.

The Giants and Dallas will be 8-8 or 9-7 teams at best for a while...probably until Eli and Tony retire. By then Wilson, Kaepernick and Rodgers will each probably have at least two rings each...Wilson will probably have three rings by the time Eli retires.

What Eli HAS going for him is that his brother only has one ring...

I'll take 2 more Niner Super Bowl victories before Eli retires!

Maybe so

But Eli already has two Superbowl MVPs in his pocket. His legacy is sealed even without a third

If Wilson, Kaepernick and Rodgers get two SB wins they can join Eli in the HOF

So his legacy is sealed huh? He can just continue missing the playoffs and throwing interceptions for the next 5 years and will still be a first ballot hall of famer?

Don't know about first ballot, but his ticket is punched
