I'm not contending that Favre was a Pro Bowl caliber QB more than half his seasons. I'm also not saying he wasn't, either. I haven't looked at his stats or known the full context of every game for every season in order to make that statement. What i can say, is that the voters at the time...
Only 11 QBs with more than 1500 career attempts have a career QB rating of greater than 90. 8 of those 11 are active today (Kurt Warner would have been #9). As ive said in other threads, comparing passer ratings from even the 90's to those of today is ridiculous and incomparable, and even if...
In week 16 this year, Player A, an undrafted, unheralded RB was 3rd on the depth chart for a game against the #8 Rushing defense. The team he faced had to win to get into the playoffs (ie bad player and a terrible matchup). In week 16 this year, Player B (a consensus top 10 FF player) was...
I actually agree with you that Eli has improved his game remarkably over the last few years (interceptions aside). But the OP's contention is that Eli won a superbowl 3 years ago in dramatic fashion, therefore he is a better QB In the clutch TODAY than anyone who hasn't won a superbowl, which...
Eli over Warren Moon, seriously? The guy made 9 pro bowls (8 straight) and is in the Hall of Fame. He also played 6 season in the CFL and is in the CFL hall of fame. If the guy had been white (and thus provided the opportunity to go to the NFL in 1978), you he probably would have thrown for...
I like Freeman alot. IMO he isn't quite there yet, but if you put a gun to my head and made me say who of the young guys I think are most likely to end up in this category in the future, I'm going Freeman, Sanchez, and Bradford over Eli, Ryan, and Flacco.
Fix't that for you. To the question is:
Trent Dilfer, 2001
Brad Johnson, 2003
Ben Roethlisberger, 2006 only
While Eli isn't today the game manager he was 3 years ago, how can you ignore that Eli's QB rating in the superbowl season was 73.9 while averaging almost a fumble per game, a rating...
I responded to the OP in another thread, so pasted here:
And FYI, your logic would lead you to select Trent Dilfer or Brad Johnson instead of Dan Marino, Warren Moon, Dan Fouts, or Jim Kelly. Winning a superbowl doesn't make you great, and not winning a superbowl doesn't make you bad. Of...
This wasn't directed at me, but I'll just throw this out. One of the biggest reasons why that drive was so incredible was the actual fact that Eli Manning was the qb and literally no one thought he could do it. Change that situation, have it be Peyton Manning, and everyone on the planet would...
Ryan is not elite. I really don't get why people keep trying to say he is. There are about 6 QBs that I want with the ball in their hands down 4, 2 minutes left. Peyton Manning
Tom Brady
Phillip Rivers
Big Ben
Rodgers
Brees
Honorable mention:
Romo
Vick
Probably about in that order...
