So long, Eli!

[Trouty]

Just my take but no question he makes it in. In fact, when you consider 2 Super Bowl wins, durability and New York media, I think he gets in on the first ballot.

No friggin' way, first balot. He led the league in INTs 3 times, and has one of the lowest COMP%, QBR, QB Rating, highest INT totals in his time as a QB. He'll get in, after about ten years.

Here's a few NFL QB's with a better winning % than Eli
Dave Kreig
Bobby Herbert
Neil O'Donnell
Steve Grogan
Matt Hasselbeck
Ken Anderson

Just some tidbits here:
The bottom four reached a SB.
Anderson was a very good QB. Ask Dan Fouts about Ken Anderson. Just stay out of arms length.

Grogan was tough. My 2nd best on your list. He battled those Raiders and Steelers teams
in the 70s.

Bobby Herbert won big in the USFL and came to the NFL with Jim "Playoffs?" Mora.
He was a part of those great Saints teams that dominated on defense but couldn't win in
the playoffs.

We love O'Donnell for obvious reasons. Rumor has it, Larry Brown sends him a Christmas card
every year.

Hasselbeck was a Mike Holmgren product. Solid over-achiever. Lol... ask Mike Mitchell about him.

Dave Krieg, I believe, still holds the record for most fumbles in a game, season and career.
Okay, I think it's only a career record... lol.. Derrick Thomas once sacked him 7 times in a game.

The Giants also gave up a future #1 that turned into Shawne Merriman, who went to three Pro Bowls.

I still remember MJD "lighting him up" on a block.
It's worth a search for those that never saw it.

@Trouty you know Mara is on the horn right now trying to get a first ballot exception... lol
Eli will be the first player to forgo the 5 year retirement wait.

Eli has two more Super Bowl wins than everybody here so.....

I have 5 Super Bowl wins so you are wrong and ridiculous.

 

[vaturkey]

He certainly won't be the Giant QB next year. They will draft a QB number 1.

 

[Biggems]

If not for a great Giants D those two years, along with a very good running game, and a few fortunate bounces, Eli never wins the SB.

Hell, to go one step farther, if Romo's playmakers catch just half their drops in 2007, including the TD dropped by Fasano, we win the game, meaning nowhere near the SB for Eli.

 

[Biggems]

If I am the Giants, I give the ball to Davis Webb for the rest of the season.....see what he has, before potentially using a high pick on a QB.

 

[AtomicDog]

Well, bye.

 

[Cowboy89]

He will have to wipe away those tears with his two SB rings...

 

[Candlestick]

The Eli apologists (NYG fans almost exclusively) really go out of their way to protect the hell out of him. Much like the Russell Wilson homers, but in fairness to Seattle fans, this is the first dominant team they've had.

My roommate is a big NYG homer who just talks to me about the Giants without asking me if I care. I don't push my Niner stuff on him, so don't get why he would do the same.

Anyways, after the Cowboys finished kicking the Giants a*** he said "Next year, we make a few adjustments, new coach and we're Super Bowl Bound!"

He really really thinks the Giants team was just mismanaged this year.

SMFH.

I hate their fans with such a passion because they are the biggest homers ever.

Really hope they bust on this top pick. Hope they don't draft a QB, don't take Barkley and just pick a decent player but not someone you're going to envy.

I hope that the Giants brass considers Eli still relevant like their idiot fans do........but no guarantees there.

Can't believe the Niners dropped those INTs in the 2011 NFC Championship Game. And that Ahmad Bradshaw "forward progress" stoppage. And *** Kyle Williams fielding punts with the clutchness of an automatic transmission.

The 5 INTs in one game, 3 seasons later was not a good enough consolation prize.

 

[Stryker44]

And despite that, NOBODY considers him to be an "elite QB." Not even Giants fans are that delusional anymore.

You know what you call a QB who, despite the help of 2 Super Bowl wins on his resume, is NOT considered "elite"? Or even "good"?

A mediocre SCRUB.

You ***** mother****ing Belichick and mother****ing Brady in the Super Bowl, twice, you are a first ballot Hall Of Famer. Fact.
