6 to 1, half dozen to the other.
I don’t remember anything pretty to watch from Eli some of the worst throws I’ve seen made by a Pro Bowl level quarterback has come from Eli Manning. But it rarely came in those playoff pushes I’ll admit that.
Yes, I called both plays clutch. The first play was described as Eli escaping what appeared to be a sack on 3rd down and throwing the ball to the receiver he was going for who made a great catch. “Throwing up the ball” for grabs is what happens when a Hail Mary is executed. So, yes, it was simplistically diminishing what happened. The other play was completely ignored because it was perfectly thrown pass. Go watch both of them again.
It's not just the media, people in general, like to look for that single defining reason that someone/something failed or succeeded. Details get blurred, passed over or forgotten. It gets romanticized, that single hero, that single moment that can define and explain a moment. Don't let the details get in the way of a good story. We can repeat that the QB gets all the glory and gets all the blame even if they deserve it or not, but we still keep doing it anyway.....lol.
I mean he wasn’t a very good qb….i mean even he jokes about it from time to time. Romo and Dak were better. But I give him his due because he quarterbacked two great SB runs and I won’t let agenda cloud that.
LOL pretty funny but honestly Dak needs to learn that sometimes this is a good outcome.I was always impressed how Eli handled pressure and scrambled in the pocket.......
IMHO he is just comfortable with who he is and this legacy. The Mannings have always had the ability to laugh at themselves. It is more a sign of confidence to me than anything. They know they are among the GOATs.
Yeah, Mahomes was so great, he dink and dunked his team to a SB win all game long! Yes, Mahomes is soooo Great and gets worshipped by Dak haters for dink-n-dunking his way to a close won championship game!
He’s shown many times over he doesn’t understand football.
Didn't say the defense did it themselves. Thanks for verifying my point.
What are you talking about?
9 time Pro Bowler, won 1 SB and would have won another if not for Carroll's brain fart, career (so far) 100 qb rating.
That's the double edged sword with most mobile QBs, just gotta know when to take the loss and not force the play.
I think most would have believed he was on the road to being a HOFer, but these last couple seasons have really hurt his case, looks like he's playing his way out of it.
Eli Manning is going to make the Hall of Fame based on two postseason runs where he was carried by his defense.
