1. This guy has always shat on Eli for years
2. I'm not going to be shocked at people bashing Eli coming off of last year
...But this bullshit pisses me off
| The Eli Manning from 2011 was the outlier in his career. We don't expect him to get back to that level. |
Yes 2011 was Eli's career year - thus far - but to say he didn't have several other good to great years is absurd. You don't accrue the #'s he has without doing something right.
And some of the guys he has Eli behind...this shit just boils my blood.
Haha!
And that anybody labeling Elway an all time great while labeling Eli as having a mediocre career is not viewing the overall picture.
Elway had an MVP, which I think is a key differentiator. Based on this and Pro Bowls, etc., it seems like Elway was a top 5 QB according to consensus (relative to peers) - Eli's never been thought of that way.
It's not like the scales are heavily weighted one way or the other.
