The notion that Eli Manning is even being considered as a Hall of Fame nominee by some is more a statement on the dominance of the New England Patriots over the last 20 years than it is on Manning’s ability as a quarterback.
If he had two Super Bowl wins over any other team or combination of teams, he is probably seen accurately as a mediocre to a mediocre-okay quarterback.
Just my opinion.
Do you not think being a starting QB for one NFL team for 15 years is better than mediocre????
It's also a statement about how ludicrous the passing statistics have become in the last 10-15 years.
It used to be that a QB who passed for 3,000 yards had a great season. Now, an average starting QB will throw for 3,500 yards in a BAD season.
