Eli is ELIte (1 Viewer)

[The_Fonz]

Eli is a very good QB who's been the leader of 2 of the flukiest teams ever to win the super bowl. I'll give credit to him that he knows how to get hot in January. He's single-handedly kept Brady from being the undisputed GOAT... In addition he has a major one-up over Peyton with that 2nd ring.... for that i'll give him props.

I don't know that you can say they were flukes. A fluke can happen in a game. Maybe over the course of two. But, for two SB runs, both on the road against great competition, including beating the in the discussion for greatest of all time (and gunning for undefeated) 1 lost Pack last year, and the undefeated, about to be GOAT Pats? Two of the most unlikely winners, but hardly flukes. Flukes are accidents by happenstance. The Giants may have been lucky to make the playoffs last year, but once they were in, there was nothing fluky about their ability - and without Eli, they'd not even be close.

I are in agreeance

I don't know that you can say they were flukes.

1) helmet catch2) wes welker drop2 fluke plays that led to them winning.admittedly the patriots should not have let the game be close enough for those plays to matter.

You have these things with most championship runs. Welker's drop has nothing to do with Eli proper. Whenever Eli was asked to perform, he did - and at a level not often at all seen in such big games, repeatedly.Helmet catch was fluky - the win was not... not considering the context of that SB run.And that Manningham throw was perfect.I know some just don't want to give eli the credit, but the guy continually performs, and out performs, when it is most important. Don't know what else to say.

Just came across this tidbit about Eli:

Eli Manning has nine fourth-quarter touchdowns of 20+ yards over the past two years; no other QB has more than four. Eli is throwing deep more frequently than any passer in the league.

He led the league in deep throws last year according to FO. That's one of the reasons attributed to his INT totals being higher than most top QBs.
