there are a dozen guys in the NFL with multiple Super Bowl titles & there are 7 qbs with multiple mvps, including eli
- Tom Brady 6, 4 MVPs
- Terry Bradshaw 4, 2 MVPs
- Joe Montana 4, 3 MVPs
- Troy Aikman 3, 1 mvp
- Peyton manning 2, 2 MVPs - absolutely did not deserve the second one
- Eli manning 2, 2 MVPs - absolutely did not deserve the first one
- Jim Plunkett 2, 1 mvp
- Bob Griese 2, 0
- Roger Staubach 2, 1 mvp
- John Elway 2, 1 mvp
- Ben Roethlisberger 2, 2 MVPs
- Bart Starr 2, 2 MVPs
For all the eligible players, all but Plunkett are in the Hof... TB12 is a lock, Peyton is a first ballot HoF, Roethlisberger most likely will get in, Plunkett, if he didn't make it this year with the "special expanded class", he wont ever get in... and that leaves eli
the problem with eli is that outside of the two Super Bowl titles, both earned mostly by the Defense - but i will given eli his due, he didn't screw it up - nothing else stands out... a borderline top ten qb, at no point can you say "I want that guy to lead my team" ... he's got stats because he was incredibly durable, but thats about all he brings to the table ... is it enough? for the Hall of Good players ...
But he will get consideration, as he should, for the Giants beating the Patriots in 42 & 46 ... outside of those accomplishments the rest falls flat imo ... he isn't what I consider a Hall of Fame caliber player ... Eli is a modern day Plunkett ... ymmv
