Interesting stat comparison for Eli

Garbage tweet

There is nothing remotely similar to Eli and Jim Plunkett. Completely different era's completely different careers.

And to add to what arniefez just opined,

Plunket didn�t come close to having the two playoff runs that Eli had. Nobody in NFL history has imo

Wins and losses are not an official

NFL stat for those who didn't realize...

This isn't fucking baseball...

Wins and Losses for a QB are heavily weighted toward their supporting casts...

Wow

Jim Plunkett is top 10 all time in yards, completions, TDs, etc and has TWO SB MVPs just like Eli? Yea, they're twinning!

Plunkett failed as a #1 pick in NE...

....was traded and became a backup.

Caught lightening in a bottle, due to a starting QB getting injured, from 1980 thru 1983, leading the Raiders to two SBs. His playoff run in 1980 was pretty good, winning two road games I believe.

But after 1983, he returned more to his pre-1980 form.

So a VERY small (but very good) window for Plunkett.

That pales in comparison to Eli's 16 year career......

I don't mind the Plunkett comparisons

He was a much better QB than anyone gives him credit for. Especially in that SB vs. the Eagles.

Sorry but

People who make this Eli/Plunkett comparison are lazy thinkers.

True dat. But it's not the insult most people think. Plunkett was a pretty good QB. Even with that squished up face in his one bar face mask... lol

Lol you�re right. I just meant it for those who do try use it to diminish Eli�s legacy. Many posters, even on here, debunked the comparison. Some even did so eloquently. Wish I kept those posts

After he won the second SB

mattlawson : 9/17/2019 9:33 pm : link

he cemented his induction IMO. And Jim Plunkett has always been the comparison other non-Giants folk bring up

Well, the tweet never mentioned wins and losses, but only Eli's success rate in wining (and dining?).
I think he was probably referring to this oldie:
