yes. he’s so classy for going 6-10 or worse the majority of the last decade in the worst division in football and then allowing the giants to pay almost 25 million a year. he’s so good, he was a .500 quarterback.

Being classy has nothing to do with stats. It’s how you handle yourself as a person both on/off the field. Eli has excelled in that area.
Sometimes it comes down to making the “lucky throws”, which he did...twice....against the greatest dynasty in all of North American sports.
As for stats, he’s top ten in most of them.
If you don’t like him, that’s certainly your opinion, but they guy is hall bound. That’s just they way it is.

If Eli makes the HOF then Jim F’ing Plunkett deserves it too.

IMO if you win two SuperBowls as a starting QB you belong.

Eli will make the HOF but he shouldn’t. Seems like a nice guy and I’ll always be grateful that he stole two rings from Brady, but he had all the help the world to do so. Definitely not a first ballot, but I’d be surprised if he doesn’t get in within his first five years of eligibility.

Saaaweeet! Nick Foles only needs one more.

Then he can join his pair of shoes/jersey that are already in the Hall when he threw 7 TDs against...Oakland, wasn’t it.

Two is a rare feat! Id lobby for Nick if he somehow gets two. Lol. The only exception would be Dilfer

He's been very durable so he has respectable passing stats. He's borderline HoF. No way is he first ballot. I'm biased so I don't want to see him get in.

these are facts. you could say he was never even a top ten quarterback during his time. sure, he wasn’t the worst quarterback in the league.

all this bs about him acting classy? what, for refusing to play for the team that drafted him? for forcing a trade before ever playing a game? and then going to a team and being mediocre? yes, refusing to play for the team that drafts you is the epitome of class. but sure, let’s act like he’s just been the golden child because his dad was a terrible quarterback in the 70s.

but wow, he really accepted being paid a ton of money to sit on the bench this year. i don’t know how he did it? how did he find the courage? what a true warrior he is!

rickah88 · 01-25-2020, 08:49 PM

Well if spurning your drafting team makes you classless for the rest of your life, we now have to throw in: John Elway, Jim Kelly, Bo Jackson, Kobe Bryant, Eric Lindros and half a dozen other guys.
Good news for Eli, most of those named are in their respective Halls.

Someone must be a SD(or wherever they are now) fan and still salty after all these years. Because Eli clearly made the right choice.

On the topic of Eli Manning... was there any point in his career at the end of a regular season when you considered him a top-5 QB in the NFL? For me, the answer is a clear no. This is a big problem. I don't believe a guy who was never a top-shelf QB for any period of time should be in the HOF. Just being really good, never great should not be enough. Even Donovan McNabb was a top tier QB for a time, and isn't in the Hall.

I realize he won two Super Bowls, but he also missed the playoffs in 10 of 16 seasons, with zero wins outside of the 2 SB runs. Fact is, the Giants typically missed the playoffs in part because he was never elite. Let's be honest, if his last name weren't Manning and he had the same career stats and accomplishments in a smaller market we likely wouldn't be considering him.

I’d never act like a jackass to the team that drafted me, but that’s me.

Funny thing is Rivers had a better career statistically.

He told the chargers not to draft him that he wasnt going to sign, the chargers drafted him and were forced to trade him

Chargers have also proven that they are stupid time and time again.

This. I know QB's of Namath's era put up numbers vastly inferior to today, but even by standards of his own era his numbers were mediocre.

173 TD, 220 Int, 50.1% Comp Rate, 27,663 passing yards, 65.5 passer rating, led the NFL in picks 4 times, only 15 career comeback wins

Outside of that one Super Bowl run (just two games), he made it to the playoffs only one other time in his career (a loss). Namath's career passer rating and completion rate were both a bit below league average.

Tony208 · 01-26-2020, 09:14 PM

You could say Namath was the Eli of his era.

rickah88 · 01-27-2020, 02:35 PM

Philly lost one of its biggest fans. RIP Kobe.

Glad you got to see the Eagles Championship parade.

Just a constant reminder to live life to the fullest. Thoughts & Prayers to all the families.
