Default Eli Manning reminds Accorsi of Johnny Unitas.
Take a peek at this TSN article in the article zone.

http://cowboyszone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42343

In his ability to come back after making mistakes, Eli reminds Accorsi of Johnny Unitas.

"To be able to reverse the personality of a game is the rarest of qualities," says Accorsi, who admits even he finds himself shaking his head when his young quarterback bounces back from early mistakes to work some final-minutes magic. For Accorsi, it conjures up a memory of Johnny Unitas' throwing three interceptions early as the Colts dug a hole for themselves, only to pull the game out in the end. It is the ultimate honor for Accorsi to compare anyone to Johnny U., even if only when referring to the ability to rise with the game on the line."

Thanks man!

Hey, take a peek at this thread... we know you're a Giants fan.

http://cowboyszone.com/forums/showth...5&page=1&pp=15


And the fact that you and the Giants GM like Eli is hardly worth starting a thread over... much less putting an article in the article zone and then linking it in the zone.

Have a nice day.

He reminds me of Otis from "The Andy Griffith Show."

he reminded me of Ryan Leaf a few weeks ago when he threw 4 interceptions against the Love Boat Crew.

Peyton has always reminded me of Unitas, very similar in their styles and approach to the game ( It could also be the Colts' uniform he wears and his number which is only one off from Johnny U's #19). Eli never has. Not that Eli isn't going to be a great QB but he is still a long ways behind Peyton IMO and will likely never have the same grasp of the game that his older brother does.

Eli does have that ability to take things in stride while Peyton tends to get upset more easily, even Archie said that about them.

I would take Peyton over any QB in the league without a moment's hesitation but I can't say the same about Eli.
Captain Nathan Brittles: "Only the man who commands can be blamed. It rests on me... mission failure!"

"Jerry Jones is a billionaire fan who bought his own team for the express purpose of buying his way into the game. He wants to hang out with the players, stand in front of the cameras, be the face of the team (yech), make personnel moves as if this were a video game, and more than anything else, be seen as the guy who made it all happen."

Anyone who makes fun of Manning is just jealous or dumb. He will be a great one, wish we had him. The Giants will be good for many years going forward.

Well, here's hoping that Eli reminds everyone here of a "deer with it's eyes caught in the headlights" as the on-coming "Doomsday Cubed" goes crashing through.
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
