[@marinurevic-tomas8109]

@@yaahlabanyamyan144 Manningham was actually in double coverage on that play. Safety came down to help out his cornerback, but Eli placed that ball in the tiniest of places, where it is either a catch or an incomplete pass. Mario caughts it, but to be honest the throw is far more impressive than the catch. As he is securing the ball he gets nailed by both players. What a play, but more importantly, what a throw! The greatest throw ever in my opinion

[@Hauler24]

That was one of the best throws I've ever seen. The scenario makes it even bigger.

[@danielrice2296]

I gotta say, as a Giants fan, I was never mad at Eli. If he had had a good o-line his last few seasons and a more consistent defense, he would have done a lot more damage. But he did his best with what he had.

[@brendane3283]

He QB'd two teams to a Super Bowl victory. He easily provided more than most QBs ever will for their respective teams.

[@joeconner2231]

His greatest season statistically was 2015 and yet didn't come close to getting to the postseason even though the Offense was a scoring machine. Think about how Eli was blamed and Tom Coughlin took the fall for Jerry Reeses(intentional! ?)neglect of the defense so he had an excuse to put Ben Mcadoo (who was fired soon after with Reese) in charge.The Giants have yet to recover.

[@danielrice2296]

@@joeconner2231 the defense was trash in 2015 and the run-game wasn't there either. That's why they didn't come close to the postseason.

[@EthanC_09]

@Harry Engel he was a top 10 pocket passer of all time. His arm strength and accuracy was top tier and the fact that he was pressured so often negatively effects his stats and legacy. He threw picks due to lack of protection, lack of a solid run game, and (at the end of his career) lack of WR release/separation. If you put Eli behind Brady, Romo/Dak, Brees, or Peyton’s O-Line, he would no doubt have had half as many INTs and a lot more TDs. Just count the amount of these highlights were under pressure vs clean pocket and you’ll appreciate Eli a lot more than you probably do.

I saw a debate where one guy claimed he wasn't a hall of famer. Yes, he threw a lot of pics. Yes, his record was .500 (yet, .667 in the playoffs). But he rarely had a great team, and he STILL led two teams to Super Bowl championships.. over the New England dynasty. He's a NFL Hall of Famer in my book.

The two times he had a great team he got them all the way to 1st place. He did it without big talent guys like OBJ or Saquon. The teams had defense and solid lines.

[@tomknapp6194]

Actually, in the 4th quarter, his 83.8 passer rating was already below his below average career passer rating of 84.1. In the final 2 minutes, he was just as likely to throw a TD as an interception, 22 for both. Coming through in a drive once or twice simply because the defense kept him in the game against all odds, does not make a clutch QB. If even an average Patriots team showed up either time, Eli's 17 and 19 points are blowouts. And that's the best NY has had? That's laughable and sounds about right! lololololololol

Without the defense holding multiple pro bowl QBs to one of their worst games of they year, Eli didn't have a chance. In fact, those defense held the opposition to an average of 15.1 points per game, none over 20, and an opposing passer rating of 74. What QB cannot win against that? Eli still barely managed to win 5/8 games. And in the 2 overtime wins, in overtime Eli was a combined 3/7, 17 yards, 1 sack for -10, so 7 attempts went 7 yards, and he was given credit for 2 game winning drives even when he literally did nothing for it. He didn't even take his team past the 50 yard line either time. And that last statement very accurately describes Eli's career. He got credit for all the good (even if it literally was not him) and great headlines and when he screwed up, someone else was blamed.

Do you really think that is a good thing? Most passing yards in a single postseason? Sure, he had 4 games, when most of the good QBs only have 3. Let's go by average for 3 or 4 games and Eli falls to 14th. Yards/attempt he falls to 19th. Once again, a function of a lot of attempts, not actually being good. Every Giants record imaginable? Well, come on, it's the Giants! lol Now, let's look at some other things from his 16 year career: 0x League MVP (You know, for an entire season and not a single game that the defense truly won) 0x All pro (not even second string) Top 10 passer rating once. ONCE in 16 years. In fact, his average passer rating ranking is 18th. Never led in yards, TDs, yards/attempt, TD %, or passer rating, but..... 3x interception leader. Only 1 QB in the last 20 years had more in a single season. 117-117. Never beat a playoff team that scored more than 20 points. In his 16 years, 9 times his passer rating was below average. 5 of the 7 times it was over, it was by 3.8 or less, or basically still just average. He literally had 2 in 16 years in which he was somewhat above average. Does that really sound like a HoF QB? All his best achievements are basically smokescreens when you look at the details.

I've been watching the Eli led Giants since Elementary. I'm in college now, It's gonna be weird watching them now, but I'm excited to see what Danny Dimes has in store

[@Ziroidex]

Sure, he didn’t have the best stats, but this man has won 2 superbowls and beat Tom Brady in both of them. He deserves the hall of fame for that accomplishment alone. No other Qb in NFL history can say they’ve beaten the goat twice in the Super Bowl.

[@korrasmuscles]

Eli's HOF candidacy isn't just rings. It's his 50000+ yards, 300+ TD passes (both top 10 all time), iron man streak, being the franchise quarterback of a marquee franchise, and his fantastic moral character. He is easily a HOFer. Not first ballot most likely but 2nd - 4th or so. At the end of the day, he'll have a bust alongside his brother Peyton sooner rather than later.

[@agentorange1156]

@Derek Savage why click on an eli manning highlight video then?

[@laitisvi1750]

@Derek Savage 90% ass..? Have you looked his stats? Dude went to playoffs in 4 years in a row, -05, 06, -07 and -08. They won the superbowl in -07. So they got a good run in theit division those years, he was playing good qb play. He went to pro bowls in -08, -11, -12 and -15. -08 and -11 he was probowl playoffs qb, and -11 he won another sb. And after those he went to playoffs again at -16. So he led his team to playoffs or was pro bowl qb in 8 of his 16 years. 2 of those years he was both of them at the same time, and 2 of those years he won a superbowl and superbowl MVP. Half of his career, by these stats, he has been top qb, and he has the rings to show it. Im not going to any other stats at this point, I will go through them if you want He will be hall of famer, but in my opininion, it might take time for him to get in. Where you get your "90% ass" at? For real, care to explain?

[@laitisvi1750]

@Derek Savage I give you, the interceptions were bad. But that is the only category where he is average in my opinion. It was not terrible, it was not great. He averaged 15,25 ints per season, Brady avereges 9,21. (Btw, I am using Bradys 19 seasons, because he was hurt in 2008.) But Manning in this category, Manning is better than modern era hall of fame qb Favre, who avereged 16,8 ints per season. I am only comparing this Manning stat to Favre, to prove that his interceptions were not totally awfull. There is not much where Manning was better than Favre. Also about sacks, Brady is averaging more sacks than Manning did. Brady is averaging 26.32 sacks a season, Manning had 25.69. It is not much, but it is better than what Brady has at this point. For context, Favre had average 26.25 sacks per season. Rest of the major qb stats, Manning is in top 10. Yes, he has not been the best or defining player in his years of playing. But that is because of the competition. Peyton, Brees, Brady and Big Ben. And despite the competition, he managed to win 2 sb's with 2 MVP's. You cant say that hall of fame is only for those players who defined the position. You can not say that you must be better than the guys who are already in. If that is the case, there can not be any cornerbacks going to the hall because Deion is in there. There can be no safeties going because Lott is there. Hall of fame is for players who made a mark in history of the NFL. Manning is one of the few who has multiple super bowl wins and SB MVP's. You can have your opinion, but for me, when you look Mannings full body of work, he will be hall of famer and he deserves it. Maybe not first ballot, but he will get in. What are yout thoughts now?

[@laitisvi1750]

@Derek Savage good point, and I agree. I do not know when this kind of culture started, who was the first "better than average" qb to get in, but that has been the style to rank qb's so using those standards, Eli is in. Like, SB win weights so much for qb's. But that is the direction where it has gone. Without SB wins, I dont know if Aikman is Hall of famer... And it is so hard to compare stats from diffent eras, and then there are these things what you can not measure, like leadership qualities. It is hard...

[@wbdrugstrat]

So many great memories. The team has never had elite receivers, but Eli elevated their play to elite levels when the team needed to step up. Eli was as stable as they come, keeping the team moving forward during times of doubt. To even think of Eli during the playoffs, is to speak of a great player who was as elite as they get, putting the offense on his back so to lift that trophy. He is a top 5 Giant.

[@allonisaacs8765]

Eli did the absolute best with what he had. He had no HOF receivers like so many other great QB's and was still able to do great things. The Giants had wasted the sencond half of his career, treated him very badly and did not give him a chance to win. Even though he wasn't given a chance to win. He is one of the few players to multiple Super Bowl MVP awards. In 2011-12 he posted on the the very best QB seasons ever 4,933 yards, plus the most passing yards in a single post-season (1,219). Third on tht list for most passing yard in a season including the playoffs, 8 game winning drives (6 in the regular season, 2 in the playoffs), 15 4th Quarter TD's (was an NFL record) and etc. He broke so many records in 2011-12! How people say that this man of not HOF QB is just stupid. He is literally a top 10 QB of all time, the stats don't lie!

[@devpatel7154]

So true and I’m a Pats fan. Always thought he was very good and respected him

[@tomknapp6194]

Actually, stats can lie if not put in perspective. Top 10 yards and TDs? Rodgers passed Eli in both categories. In 1,000 fewer attempts. Stafford is about to do the same in about 500 fewer attempts. Eli's TD % (Tds/100 attempts) isn't even in the top 70 all time. His yards per attempt are.... Well, the list I was looking at only went up to 90 and no Eli. 15 TDs in the 4th quarter? That's great! What did he do the rest of the game. Oh, that's right, only 14 other more TDs through 75% of the games he played. 1,219 yards in a postseason? Playing 4 games will do that. Brady came within 100 yards of breaking that. Twice. In 3 games. If he had 4 games, it would have been easy, but he had a first round bye and had no chance for a 4th game. Multiple other QBs were close on dozens of fewer attempts. In fact, let's take the average of any QB that played 3 or 4 games and Eli is not longer #1. He's not even top 10. He's 14. And his yards/attempt are 19th. Once again, just throwing a lot does not make a great QB. Eli's entire career is a huge smokescreen of great headlines that are half truths at best. But, once the facts are examined, he suddenly becomes below average.

[@parkersmith5075]

2-time Super Bowl champ as well as MVP, broke three franchise records, and was a key component in making the Giants the kryptonite, to the arguably greatest dynasty, in the game that everyone wanted to beat them in. Cannot wait to see my guy in the HOF. DJ got to learn from the best.

He's not the flashiest play so ESPN doesn't love him, but he doesn't need to be flashy bc he's consistent! Yes, he probably stayed a year or two past his prime, but that just shows he loves the game & wasn't in it for the glory.

No, he is statistically the best QB ever in the post season. As an eye opener, Tony Romo, who went 2-4 in the playoffs, is higher that Mr. Eli "Clutch" Manning! lol Eli isn't even top 10, much less #1. He's actually tied at 19th. Remember Eli's 3 other playoff runs? Let me summarize your clutch playoff QB: 4 games, 3 crushing defeats, 1 shutout, a combined 3 TDs, 7 ints, 1 game over 169 yards, and a 54 passer rating. Top 10 all time for yards and TDs? Yes, but that is a factor of throwing a lot over a lot of years. His TDs per attempts drops him almost to 100th. Almost the same sad story for his yards. And Eli didn't have a prime, because he was never really that good. He got lucky twice, good for him. But, both SBs the defense won. Even if an average Brady showed up 17 and 21 points would not have beaten him. And somehow all the credit goes to Eli. Please explain.
