(roughly his average from 2005-2012), he will pass the following players on the all-time list:
14. Dan Fouts+ 254
15. Drew Bledsoe 251
16. Boomer Esiason 247
17. John Hadl 244
18. Y.A. Tittle+ 242
19. Len Dawson+ 239
20. Jim Kelly+ 237
21. George Blanda+ 236
22. Donovan McNabb 234
23. Steve Young+ 232
And he will tie:
13: Sonny Jorgensen+ 255
If Eli throws his average passing yards from the same period (3810), he will pass:
15. Dave Krieg 38,147
16. Boomer Esiason 37,920
17. Donovan McNabb 37,276
18. Jim Kelly+ 35,467
Just some reminders of what he's capable of.
I don't think so, he's definitely unique, kind of like a football version of Kirk Gibson or someone who saves their best for the biggest stage.
I wouldn't trade the two SB's Eli helped win for anything (well except for more Super Bowls) but the down years are so frustrating.
fans are called fans for a reason.
just sayin...

I'm kind of worried he'll throw 25 more picks before he throws 25 more TD's.
But that probably means I'm just some Eli basher who never appreciated him.
This thread is for optimism only.
We need new buttons. OGT (Optimistic Giants Thread) RGT (Realistic Giants Thread). Just so people can brace themselves before going in. Reading opinions can be traumatic.

Yes! And we can bring jintsfan back to police it. Genius.
just sayin...
Is that his average?
he should easily make the top 10, probably top 5 when his career is finally over.

And there are 2 active players who are above him on the list.

More than half of the top 10 QB leaders in INT's are in the Hall of Fame. Just sayin'.

Which makes sense because of the required longevity. Shit QB's don't stick around long enough to get there.

ok. he will pass brees this year (he's played 3 less seasons ) and he will pass his brother in 2-3 years (played 6 less seasons). also, both of those guys have thrown more passes per season than eli.
Not many people outside of Giant fans think he is a HOFer.
He's not one of the great QBs of this era so how can he be a HOFer? He was blessed to have 2 great runs that resulted in Championships, all the other years was a lot of inconsistency.
Season to season performance this has to be true. The giants won the NFC east his first year as starter and did not have a losing season until last year's shit show.
Regarding games, Eli performs baaically the same on the road or at home and in all types of weather. This has been displayed for ten years now.
I do not understand how he is inconsistent.

2.5 less seasons than Brees, who will continue to throw interceptions as well. So will his brother.
he's only 6 back of brees. it's pretty much a lock he will throw 6 more INT's than brees this year.
it will take a few years, to bass his brother, but i think peyton will retire soon.

Brees is just as capable of throwing 20 picks.

I don't think he was really "blessed". I think he made it happen, and was right in the middle of everything those years................
In 2007 SB he was 19-34 for 255 2 TDs and 1 int.
It wasn't a great performance up until his last 2 drives of the game. The story was the play of the defensive line IMO though. He was very fortunate to escape the grasp of the pats Dlineman, but he stayed alive for the historic heave to Tyree.
The 2011 SB was a great performance. 30 -40 for 296yds is a great SB performance topped off by the throw to Mario.

Agree with this assessment, but...
1) How many QBs dont get some help along their way to a title?
2) You can discount his 2007 superbowl all you like - we dont play in that superbowl without a phenominal QB performance in -20 degree weather in Green Bay

Haha. Of course my favorite, vibe, is that pessimistic BBI'ers consistently refer to themselves as "realistic" ... implying optimists are dumb and wrong and there is no chance at all that maybe, just maybe, the team will surpass their educated clairvoyance.
And you certainly don't beat the one team that would have been declared the greatest of all time (19-0) without help and making extraordinary plays. That's how you beat such a team.
Hell, if we wanted ordinary I'd call on Phillip Rivers :)

consider the fact that the offense was ranked 14th and the defense 17th in 2007
and the offense was ranked 9th while the defense was ranked 25th in 2011... I'd surmise that you are probably wrong.
Who are you quoting?

The '11 defense was between average and stinky, no argument there. But the '07 defense was a lot better than you are trying to paint. They ranked 7th overall in yards allowed... the points allowed were higher in large part because of the turnovers on offense that year (think Minnesota game, for example).
Eli had a great run in the '07 playoffs... but to get to the playoffs that year we relied on our Defense and a very efficient running game. Regular season 2007 Eli was a game manager... can't really argue otherwise.
Now 2011 Eli... that guy was phenominal. Different story... I want THAT guy back this year.
Eli absolutely put the team on his shoulders and carried it to a championship
So take your INTs criticisms and shove them up your ass? Protect Eli and see if his INT rate is much above the average of all QBs.
