Eli Manning the most overrated player in NFL history

[supermike80 1,286]

Emmitt blows 40 Goats

[Reality 2,710]

 

Eli is not a HOFer. If he gets in, its an embarrassment to the museum. In the modern era, there have been 26 QB's elected. A few big ones coming up like Peyton, Brady, Brees, Rodgers. So in a way, what everyone who thinks Eli is a HOFer is saying is that Eli is one of the best 31ish QB's of the last 60 years. Most years he's lucky to be considered in the top half of the league.

 

Just telling you how it goes, not what I think. HTH

[Hardcore troubadour 12,647]

16/27 145 yards 1 TD. Two passes over 10 yards. Yeah, Brady lit the Rams up. You have to love the Pats fans.

Emmitt didn't have Dallas' Great Wall line at Escambia High School - when he graduated he was the state's all time rushing leader and scorer.

 

Emmitt didn't have Dallas' Great Wall line at Florida - when he graduated he was the Gators' all time leading rusher and rushing td scorer.

 

Before Emmitt got to Dallas, not a single one of those on the Great Wall had ever made a Pro Bowl or been an All Pro.

 

I'd watch the Football Life on Emmitt coming up on the 22nd - Emmitt was hardly deserving to be on this list.

He didn't break enough ankles with his jukes. He didn't leap or run over very many defenders. And,

he didn't have a lot of those run 10 yards backwards and reverse direction highlights in his career.

 

He only worked his ass off, displayed excellent vision, exploded through holes, ground out the tough yards, displayed a nose for the end zone and led his team to some Super Bowl victories.

Yeah, facts are grasping now. And his 236 vs the eagles was equally as impressive.

Game manager that game. No question. If he hadn't played in 6 more and won 4, settling multiple records along the way, that might mean something.

He was a pretty good back back, maybe top 15'ish of the RB's I've seen in my life.

Double standard meter just broke. Eli Wins, he gets no credit. Brady "manages" and he's the man. Got it

Stated many times Brady is the GOAT and that was before number 5. You lose again skippy. I like you though. You're very stupid, but enthusiastic.

Curtis Martin was better

[IGotWorms 3,315]

Dude beat the G.O.A.T. in the Superbowl. Only QB to ever do that, and he did it TWICE.

 

That alone makes his career.

that's just it.

If Eli gets in the HOF, and he will, it's because of he beat Brady... and that's his only credentials, he beat Tom Brady... this only inflates Brady's legacy.

And you all wonder why poor Doug Williams is still trying to convince the world that Elway is the GOAT.

 

 

Eli's career stats are not very good.

Eli's not even close to being the best QB in his era.... or maybe even in his division.

But he beat Tom Brady... and that counts for more than a lot... it's EVERYTHING!

You're kinda preaching to the choir at this point. Is there anyone who seriously doubts that Brady is the GOAT?

 

Even RP acknowledges it for god's sake. The village idiot!

Brady hasn't faced a murderers row of QB's in the super bowl. But don't let that stop your silly narrative. Jake Delhome took him to the wire. Good thing Kasay kicked the ball out of bounds. And of course, Vinatieri.

Pats fans have imaginary conversations with imaginary Giants fans who claim Eli is great and Brady isn't.

It's kind of stupid that you keep repeating the bolded.. It doesn't matter who he beat in 2 Super Bowls.. He has 2 Super Bowl rings.. That's the story..

And the claim is all he did was beat Brady. So I proved he did much more and that claim is colossally stupid. . Sorry your boy TDryan2 is my tomato can. Every great fighter has one. He's mine.

[Bier Meister 1,514]

I have always viewed Eli as a C+ type of qb. He has had a few impressive drives here and there, but not a guy that can consistently carry a team.

[tanatastic 2,061]

Most overrated is Warner and I have made several points to this argument. He had a great couple seasons and the one with AZ. 3 good seasons, the rest he was a joke and fumbled like none other. People always rebuttal this with But he did this and this!...Yes...3 great seasons. Splendid seasons. Not enough. But he was MVP and did this and this!...Yes, again, 3 great seasons. I commend him. Well done. Its not enough.

 

But Tan, you are crazy, he did THIS AND THIS AND THAT, Again...sigh...Yes, 3 great seasons. Bravo, I commend him. Not enough.

 

Any questions or concerns, just reread this post.

 

Edit: Ill just save time for the inevitable response. Sigh...Yes..those 3 seasons were great. Wonderful, swell, much applause. Was not enough.

[RaiderHaters Revenge 3,584]

I think the title should say

 

Jay Cutler

 

but anyways

 

Eli is the 3rd best QB ever!!!!

 

from the 2004 draft class

[titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745]

So there is no in between? Great, no. No way. Most overrated? No way either. Silly.

This. Not everything is the "most _____ ever." In fact, most things aren't.

 

Eli is a good qb who had a curve ranging from pretty sh!tty at times to amazing at times. His legacy is pretty much built on the fact that the high points of his play happened when it was the most important, on the biggest stage.

 

Honestly, id say he's borderline HOF. Good stats, but mostly just because he played a long time and was never really hurt. Has the two rings. But was never even in the conversation for the top three in the league in any given year.

[listen2me 23 1,542]

He didn't break enough ankles with his jukes. He didn't leap or run over very many defenders. And,

he didn't have a lot of those run 10 yards backwards and reverse direction highlights in his career.

 

He only worked his ass off, displayed excellent vision, exploded through holes, ground out the tough yards, displayed a nose for the end zone and led his team to some Super Bowl victories.

Yet Barrys ypc dwarfs smiffs behind a much better line.

 

Go figure.
