Do you think Eli Manning is hall of fame worthy?

He’s always been so fascinating to me cause of how all over the place his career was. I don’t think he deserved the first super bowl mvp. Maybe the 2nd one.

Yes. Inconsistent, but when you take his career as a whole I think he deserves it. 2 Super Bowls. Seventh all time in TD passes.

Agreed

Those are good accolades, but was there any time Eli was one of the best 3 QB's in the league?

I think even a biased fan would say no.

That said, he will get in. The NFL hall has a pretty low standard.

Absolutely yes. He beat the Pats and spoiled their perfect season. For that he deserves a place in heaven also.

Who ?

[–] Jones70 (6872) 5 years ago

Lol even if you’re not into football you must know people who are. I don’t think you can be a super bowl winning quarterback and not be well known.

Seriously never heard of him. We have fullbacks, centre half-backs, back pockets and half-back flanks here.

The bar has always been fairly low for the NFL Hall of Fame.

They are a bunch of short-arses then.

[–] Jones70 (6872) 5 years ago

On first take Max Kellerman made a comment implying that if the bar for the hall of fame was raised there would only be 8 people more hall of fame worthy than Eli!

Everyone always gave Eli shit for not being as good as his brother, but he's still a legend.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

yes

It's close but I say yes. I certainly hate the way the Giants treated him in his final year. Why in hell would you re-sign the guy for $23 million and then bench him after two games?

Yes he is
