Giants F him over at the end of his career.
I'll never forget how Manning completely dismantled my Packers in 10 below weather in the NFC Championship game back in Jan 2007 (or 2008). Also the only QB aside from Foles to beat Brady in the SB, and he did it twice.
Great QB but I don't know if he'll get the HoF nod.

Being a Jets fan … I always hated the Giants … that said … I hate the Pats more … and seeing Eli beat the Pats in the Super Bowl … twice … he is my hero!
HOF for sure with two SB wins ...

Definitely will be in the HOF, however he should have retired years ago. He lost his confidence and thereby his edge somewhere along the line. Never got it back. (It wasn’t always the offensive line, as some will say)
To: rdl6989
He had a good long run but it’s time now. He could be the Giants backup QB but he doesn’t want that and so be it. Manning’s are class acts and Eli exits with that and multiple millions too.

It could be worse. You could be a Cleveland Browns fan.

He could still throw the ball,but the west coast throw the ball two yards was not his style.

The Super Bowls were great, but there are so many QBs worthy of the HoF in the same era, that a spot is not a slam dunk. Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, Philip Rivers, Russell Wilson, Ben Roethlisberger all come to mind.

“...will announce his retirement Friday, ending a 16-year career spent entirely with the team he joined in a draft-day trade in 2004.”
Nothing but CLASS - to stick with one team, regardless of what I think of that team.

No. I got you beat. 63 years old Lions fan. (I’ve checked. I’d been alive for 2-3 weeks the year they last won a championship.)

Phillip Rivers came into the NFL the same year as Eli Manning. Rivers packed up his family and moved them from California to Florida as soon as the season ended. He is available and he can still play. Everything about the Chargers sucks...especially the ownership. I love Rivers and would like to see him play for the Raiders.

Will never forget his throw to Tyree in the Super Bowl
