  • call me stupid, but i'd still take peyton over eli. when i think of football i think of peyton

  • he carried this team? bullshit. take away that dominant d-line and receiving trio and that team wins 5-6 games.

  • @KoaIalify By that logic, I can say "Take away Aaron Rodgers receivers and they win 3 games". Eli Manning doesn't play defense, he plays offense and he wins games. Stop being bitter.

  • @SweeTeaVee well, take away those receivers, and he doesn't have AS GOOD of a season, but still puts up good numbers, and is able to carry his team(Rodgers), and that is not the logic that I was using at all, you're an idiot. Not bitter, put Eli on Brady's team with a trash defense and no deep threat and he wins 6 games at best.

  • @KoaIalify the giants defence was ranked 27 this year dont give that great defence bull and our tro of wrs one got drafted late in the 1st round other went undrafted and another was a 3rd round pick everybody could've had them but they pass on them dont blame eli because the giants draft well we were 9-7 6 of those wins were 4thq combacks by eli carried this team and dont bring up the run game either but we were ranked 32 dead last

  • ╭∩╮(︶︿︶)╭∩╮one finger for each dislike

  • Fluky? Skip Bayless' career is more than a little Fluky...

  • You can't spell Elite without Eli

  • Eli is more then elite. Brady is nothing like Eli Manning.

  • eli-elite he the best quarterback better then tom brady (;

  • Eli is Elite its not even a question hes a top 5 QB Giants rode eli`s backs in there run to the superbowl i love to see overrated QBs like micheal vick do something like this or matt ryan

  • I think that comparing Eli Manning to Peyton Manning is actually a reasonable comparison. I mean, Eli Manning has had a few mediocre year's but Peyton Manning has had some weak years to and neither quarterback has ever had an easy time beating a divisional opponent either. But both of them have had plenty of good year's to.

  • doesnt matter he'll always be known as peytons brother

  • @Classic1942 eli is better

  • eat crow bitches

  • Eli's career is only about HALF over and he's already got 2 Superbowl wins and SB MVPs. He's going to continue putting up great numbers, barring injury. If Eli never wins another superbowl he's STILL a lock for the HOF.

  • I love how Eli Manning shuts everyone up. The bad fans, the hack sports writers and radio mouths, the trash talking ex-jock ESPN analysts. Eli doesn't need these humps to tell him he's elite.

  • Let me say this people. Eli stats: 4933 yards 29 TD 16 INTs Any other year we are talking Eli league MVP. That is all I gotta say.

  • Nice job for these chumps. Sit around and say whatever they want. Get a nice check..

  • This year he played like an elite quarterback. He has always played well but this year and the last super bowl he played showed that he is one of the best qb's in the league. You can't spell elite without eli!!! in all seriousness he has great receivers but he did his thing this year.He steps up during big games but that is what a great quarterback does. I can't wait to see him next season.

  • 2 time Superbowl MVP...nuff said

  • @za1pp As a pats fan mho is that mvp should have gone to the giants punter for keeping Brady so pinned down

  • I would say YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

  • Eli on his way to two Superbowl MVPS

    Beat a 15-1,13-3,18-0 team

    beat the league MVPS (BRADY AND RODGERS)

    1 interception throughout the whole playoffs this season

    beat the great brett favre in green bay

    most 4th quarter tds OF ALL TIME

    most playoff road wins OF ALL TIME

    what else does the man need to do

    nothing, u knwo why, he only cares about his team not his own numbers

    thats what makes him ELITE

  • @xxdiezelmikexx Exactly so right you are - Perhaps had Eli been born in New York instead of New Orleans he wouldn't hated as much? The big war has been over for over 200 years ...GET OVER IT ??

  • Cant spell elite without ELI !!!!!!!!!! 2-time Superbowl MVP and champion

  • 2 Superbowl rings?

    Elite indeed!

    

  • Eli beat the elite -- twice to win the super bowl and get TWO MVP AWARDS if that ain't elite ???

  • Eli MVP Manning. So many people who just plain dislike him and will pick any reason to not call him elite. He is elite and a future hall of famer.

  • @gthotshot Not counting the TD that pats Let happen he got ONE freaking touchdown and a bunch of feild goals! Eli Manning is Not elite. When he wins a superbowl with out be EXTREMELY lucky Then he can be considered a elite quarterback.

    The true MVP of that game was the Giant's punter for keep Brady so pinned in. Period.

  • @Scallopshell98 Okay, now let's compare Brady's championships. Who did Brady beat? The Panthers, Rams and the Eagles correct? 32-29, 20-17, and 24-21 respectively. Has Brady won without defense? People say his greatest win was against the Rams, the top ranked offense that season. The pats defense held them to 17 points, and Vinatieri won the game. Brady did NOT win any of these games by himself, so why do you guys want Eli to win by himself? Bring me your argument after this, I have more.

  • @gthotshot The argument is whether EM should be considered elite right? He got two TDs in SB42 and only one (not including the TD the pats let happen) in SB46.

    If that miracle nonsack and catch didn’t happen in SB 42 people probably wouldn’t even be considering if EM should be considered elite or not….I mean, hello?? I’m not an EM historian but didn’t he have at best a so-so season this season?? Didn’t he throw more interceptions than anyone else??

  • @Scallopshell98 You could write 1000 novels asking "What if" about NFL players and their moments in their careers. Eli threw for 4,933 yards. The only ones who passed him were Brees (5,476), Brady (5,235), and Stafford (5,038). (Rodgers threw for 4,643 yards)

    To answer your second question, not this season, he did in 2010 (25), but he also led the NFL in TD passes that year (31). In 2011, Freeman had the most (22). Eli only had 16. (Brees had 14, and Stafford had 16) "So-so" season?

  • @Scallopshell98 wow.....okay let me get this straight....he beats falcons,....green bay....and the niners....tombrady twice in one season....has the most 4th down touchdowns in history...led the league in combacks....has two rings and mvps in four years?...please people, give the man his due...thats not luck...that heart and will....and those accomplishments need to be respected....when the oppertunity presented itself the giants stepped up....those other teams didnt...

  • @bceaser1 When he wins a SP in the future without sheer ass unbelievable luck helping him along, THEN I will give him credit.

  • @Scallopshell98 Aw, you're still butthurt about losing to us in the Super Bowl TWICE, that's so cute! We fucking beat you THREE times this year! We beat you once in the pre-season (18-17), once during the regular season (24-20), and then beat you in the Super Bowl (21-17)! If you ask me, the Patriots were lucky that Eli didn't get the 2-point conversion, because he's made every one this year except for that one! They had a chance to beat us, they but failed.

  • @ShortFingeredShreder You can suck your own dick all you want. The patriots beat themselves. fucking a. even the ref said "that was the game" when welker dropped the ball.

  • @starbuck4774

    It goes both ways. Giants earned it, Pats beat themselves.

  • @starbuck4774 Patriots 2001* 2003* 2004* 2007* *CHEATED WITH SPYGATE*

    NO MORE RINGS FOR THEM FAGGOTS AND Whats even MORE SAD is they wouldnt of have a So Called "Dynasty" if 9/11 never happend, think about it for a moment, 9/11 happend then the NFL RIGGED it for them Fags and now they are a "Dynasty"...WHAT A BUNCH OF BULLSHIT!!!!!!!

  • @TheSportsFan4Lyfe Uhh...yeah. Whatever you need to tell yourself buddy

  • @Scallopshell98

    Luck this, luck that. Eli Manning got the job done with luck, poise, skill and will not once, but twice.

  • @joesakic91 Not counting the TD the Pats Let happen they got One TD...WOW

  • @Scallopshell98

    So, a late go-ahead TD drive also counts in clutch TD drives late in the fourth quarter.

    BTW, the Giants start at the 12-yard line in the go-ahead TD drive in SB XLVI bitter Pats fan.

  • @Scallopshell98

    Luck, skill, will, grit, guts and poise. Eli Manning use all those to score two late go-ahead that turned out to be game-winning TD drives against NE.

    Oh BTW, Tom Brady is 0-3 against a Manning brother (both Peyton and Eli) in playoff games that are decided by four points or less (2-0 against a Manning brother in playoff games decided by double digits).

  • @Scallopshell98 h yeah..so if thats the case then the mvp for all of the patriot wins belong to vineteri right?

  • Only Eli and the Giants can stop Tom Brady and the Patriots

  • Feely = Win, the rest of these guys don't know shit. Rob Parker and Skip Bayless should have their own show called " Nobody gives a shit about our opinions".

  • 2-0 in Super Bowls, both times he won Super Bowl MVP and both times led the Giants to two late go-ahead touchdown drives that turned out to be game-winning TD drives.

    Yes, Eli Manning is elite.

  • @joesakic91 Anyone who says he's not is ether is a eagles, jets or patriots fan, or they have brain problems.

  • Eli Manning As A QB or T-Bag A Bear Trap

  • "Damn, if only I didn't choke against the Saints, I would be tied with my little brother" - Peyton Manning

  • @youngfly44 He couldnt beat the saints by himself you got to admit he through amazing passes.

  • i bet the blk guy thinks cam newton is elite just a coincidence im sure.

  • @knightschwartz White trash.

  • I'LL SPEAK FOR ELI , "I GOT TWO MOTHERFUCKING RINGS AND SUPERBOWL MVPS BITCHES KISS MY MOTHERFUCKING ASS"

  • I think his two super bowl mvps show hes ELITE!!!! thank youuuuuu

  • Eli Manning Truly Elite QB 2 RINGS

  • @SleepingAtTheMovies - Wow, what flawless logic right there. You'll go far in life, kid. LOL!

  • IF eli manning was elite, you wouldn't have to have a conversation about it. Therefor he's not elite.

  • @SleepingAtTheMovies he is elite stupid. People jus look at Peyton and the fact is hes better than peyton in the playoffs. I mean cmon hes 8-1 in the playoffs. All 8 wins on the road.

  • @Jhart811 no. they have 1 home win against the falcons.

  • @SleepingAtTheMovies TWO RINGS

  • @SleepingAtTheMovies can you see the irony in your flawed logic yet?? hahaha

  • Eli is a great QB, better then his brother who chokes. peyton could not have tried harder to throw his 2nd superbowl game if he had to. If the colts could get Eli, they would rock!!!

  • you can't spell "elite" without ELI but you can spell "elite" without T-O-M

  • Eli is Tom Brady's Kryptonite

  • E-L-I-T-E

  • Didnt Eli compare himself with Tom Brady and Drew Brees in the beginning of the year, ended up facing Tom Brady.....and beating him in the Super Bowl !!! Thumbs up if you think he is compared with Tom and Drew

  • ELI IS ANTI LEBRON. HE OWNS THE 4TH QUARTER

  • ELI is the bigger brother. he won the superbowl at peyton's home against peyton's biggest challenger

  • Eli is humble, Eli is class, Eli is clutch, Eli is money, Eli is a two time Super Bowl MVP,

    Eli is elite.

    I believe in Eli and I wouldn't want any other quarterback in the NFL leading the NY football Giants!

  • Eli Manning stamped his ticket to the Hall of Fame. Every 2 win QB except Plunkett retired and Eli and Big Ben are in the hall of fame. So Starr, Griese, Elway, Staubach are in the hall of fame. So Eli is going to be with them one day. You can't argue against that now and you can hate Eli all you want, but that's a fact he is a 2 time Super Bowl winner and Super Bowl MVP.

  • @redmustang03 tbh I'm a giants fan and eli and roethsberger are only halfway through their careers and I personally don't think either of them are hall of famers right now.

  • @ritzinlondon, come on who are you kidding. Other than Jim Plunkett every 2 time Super Bowl winner eventually made to the Hall of Fame. Eli has 5 playoff road wins more than any other QB and beat the best QB of the decade (Brady) and a top 5 QB of all time. Ben has already won 2 Super Bowls and played in a third. They will be in the hall of fame one day, I promise you that.

  • yeah Eli proved you guys wrong.....losers.

  • Rob Parker and Skip Bayless are major league A-holes. Well Eli won another MVP so suck on it.

  • Oh yeah and he is in a small class of Qb's that has won multiple Superbowl MVP's. That's the icing on the cake.

  • Eli Manning = 2 Superbowl Victories in 5 seasons while winning 95% of his playoff games on the road in extremely tough environments. Just like the over used saying; You can't spell Elite without Eli.

  • if eli is not elite tom brady is less than that

  • Eli is Elite, forget what all the haters think

  • eli's the man, and i'm not even a giants fan

  • Guess what haters.........2 TIME SUPER BOWL CHAMPION, 2 TIME SUPER BOWL MVP.......ELIite Status.

  • (E.L.I).T.E super bowl 46 assholes

  • Well Eli's got Super Bowl Number 2 under his belt.

    What do you have to say now Skippy?!

  • Eli is ELIte...nuff said

  • Hey so Eli is a monsta! I'm a huge Giant fan and Eli is going to go to Canton HERE WE GO!

  • rob parker can go suckk a fat dick giants super bowl champs

  • great sb win for Eli. He's on his way to being elite

  • Eli is better than both Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers. Why Eli is not considered the league's MVP is far beyond my comprehension. Question. Did Drew Brees lead his Saints in victory over the 7-9 Seahawks? How would you grade Aaron Rodgers performance against the 9-7 New York Giants in 2011 playoffs?

    Eli has a 7-1 road or at neutral site playoff record. How do the Saints and Packers match up?

  • @UrbanSipfly

    Don't know as I'd say Eli is better than those guys but he certainly is in their class. He doesn't get the respect he deserves because, unlike a lot of legendary NY athletes, Jeter and Rivera being great modern examples, he's not flashy and out going, he just goes out there wins and that's that. What matters is Giants fans, and more importantly his teammates, know how good he is. As a Jets fan I'd love to have him on my team, along with some of those receivers you guys have.

  • @NYYanks2003040506  yup..tell it brother

  • @UrbanSipfly well, the mvp is based highly on stats and both drew brees and aaron rodgers broke records this year.

  • and the giants win....skip stfu you loser an hey an rob parker you have no clue what you are talking about you hater go have some hater aide he won the super bowl again got a mvp again whats your numbers look like ......regardless of friendships or not jay feeley is 100% right you all just hate typical loseres

  • Yes.

  • So....is he elite yet?

  • Eli and The Giants won, again!!!  do they really still need more evidence?

  • These guys are idiots/ Eli's the best!

  • Well Rob Parker, he won the Super Bowl against the Patriots again, so now you have to admit that he is elite.

  • U can't spell the word Elite without Eli

  • @BringTheNoise1 The mentally retarded guy just won his second Superbowl. Go kill yourself :)

  • @youngfly44 you must b a pats fan. GO GIANTS!!!!!

  • NY GIANTS SUPERBOWL ANTHEM ON MY PAGE

  • "The press put him under attack but he's an elite quarterback"

    Ready for the Rematch? Check out new song "Rematch Made in Heaven" on WARRENCHARLES1 if you want to get pumped up!

  • The only reason why its debated that he's elite is due to his demeanor. If he looked like some good looking stud strapping QB it would have been established a long time ago. People see the quiet demeanor, and soft body. People perceive him as average.

  • @cz4r1 Another big reason... his first name isn't Peyton

  • @rmd420 You're an idiot, you clearly don't watch the NYG games.

  • I BELIEVE IN ELI!! Super bowl win...? I think yes!

  • Yes, he's an elite quarterback. Look at all the shit he's pulled off in his career.

  • seriously Jay Feely? I'll never forget that Seahawks game....

  • I hope Eli gets another Super Bowl MVP just to shut these guys up for good.

  • @NYG4LIFE123 I agree! They need to shut the heck up about Peyton's win/loss record in the post season. If the Colts had a better defense, Peyton would possibly have another ring!

  • @NYG4LIFE123 We're winning another one next year!!! That's right, I said it. #Giants

  • @NYG4LIFE123 *wish came true*

  • @NYG4LIFE123 he did and there still talking i as a fan want wins i counld give a shit about stats

  • Get ready to get Gronk'd......

  • @RefillForever -Get ready to get stomped.

  • @edwardpf123 Put a wilFORK in it......

  • @RefillForever -You tried that last time we beat you.

  • Comment removed

  • OOOH did i mention ESPN has no class, not even 3rd class!

  • NFL network, Come to the real side!!!

  • bayless is clueless!

  • @gumby9960 Rob is clueless!

  • i hope u knuckleheads are not getting paid for this, thats why ESPN ratings are down!!

  • The giants are gonna win the super bowl eli is the man nicks cruz the whole supporting cast the giants are a team!!

  • @NYGIANTS88NICKS GO GIANTS!!!!!!!

  • Now he is going to Indy to play in the Super Bowl, Eli is the man. Label him elite like already, they proved it this season. Most clutch QB in the NFL this year.

  • @GabyDR26 ur dumb. victor cruz and hakeem nicks are amazing. nicks goes up and catches any ball. staffords stats this year were significantly better than eli. way more tds, more yards,and equal interceptions. and a higher passer rating. calvin is staffords only weapon! id rather have both cruz and nicks than just calvin. stafford also had a worse defense and had to play the packers twice and the bears when they were healthy. brees brady peyton and rodgers are a step above the rest.

  • @tsab13hmong you are absolutely retarded.

  • @hestermanfan are you fucking stupid? Romo, Rothlesberger, Rivers, Ryan are elite and Eli isnt? he they dont even compare to Eli. Eli- 4933yrds passing. 29tds/16int. 92.8 passer rating. 4th in passing? most all time 4th quarter comebacks? probably one of the most clutch players in the NFL today? and plus you cant spell Elite without Eli. and again i say. your a fucking idiot

  • @ClipHogHD elite means best of the best. romo, roethlisberger, rivers, and ryan arent elite. but each of them, except for ryan, is better than eli. eli might be fantastic in the playoffs and great in the fourth quarter, but his numbers dont hold a candle to brady, rodgers, and brees. yeah, sure, he had 4900 yards passing but relatively, thats not close to brees and brady. 92.8 passer rating surpassed by romo and stafford, tds surpassed by both. more or as many picks. numbers dont lie.

  • @hestermanfan -In NY are we care about is the playoffs. You can keep the stats, we want a guy who wins when it matters. Eli is clutch, you can keep the 'elite' nonsense.

  • @hestermanfan ya know this was stafford's only good year in the NFL so far and you're calling him more elite than Eli? Pretty hypocritical if you ask me

  • What more does Eli Manning have to do to be concidered elite? Seriously? If his brother wasn't Peyton Manning, this wouldn't even be a discussion. It's like saying Aaron Rodgers is Tom Brady's younger brother, no matter how good he is, he will never be as good as his older brother so , he's not elite. It's rediculious. Eli Manning is better then almost every QB there is in the league right now.

  • I'd say Eli is not only an elite QB -- But has an elite bank account as well ...

  • I don't like either team, but I hope the Giants win the Superbowl versus the Patriots.

  • for the last fuking time eli is a great qb ill take him over mr choke tony homo anyday of the week he beat aron roger tom brady 18-0 in superbow as a cowboy fan i like he play very dangeroud clutch player unlke his brother

  • heres why eli isnt elite: he does NOT have the statistics remotely close to the elite qbs-brady, brees, rodgers. he's never had a season with a passer rating over 92, his career passer rating is 82, last year he threw 25 ints, his qbr ranking this season was 14th. yes, he is clutch. yes, hes won playoff games. but football is a team sport- his team has one. anyone who would rather have eli than brees, brady, or rodgers is crazy. matt stafford is a better qb than eli.

  • What is Eli supposed to say? Oh yeah Tom brady is a lot better than me! No you have to have swagger and believe in yourself. Fuck being humble we are going to the superbowl again! As a Giants fan, I think Brady is better than him but I would never want to hear him say that!

  • @mpapile Exactly !

  • @mpapile -Brady is a system QB, when his timing is thrown off, he falls apart.I wouldn't trade Eli for any QB in the NFL, he is clutch.

  • I pray a lineman rips his head off

  • YOU CAN'T SPELL ELITE WITHOUT ELI!

  • Eli, I will never doubt you again. How could I ever doubt a guy who has won 70% of his playoff games, thus far?

    Peyton would not survive in New York. He is too thin skinned. He would be constantly going back & forth with that pompous NYC media. Eli just "aw shucks" it and acts like he has no clue what is going on. But underneath that act is a guy who will cut your heart out and feed it to you with that damn smirk of his face.

    Eli please go beat those 2 crooks Brady and Belichick......... AGAIN.

  • Was watching this as Eli threw his TD Pass to Manningham. He is elite and Mr. 4th Quarter.

  • Let me answer that question for you: yes.

  • Not elite. Elite is the best class of QBs, and only three are in that top class: Brady, Rodgers, and Brees

  • @NEPatriots128154

    The same Brees whose last 3 playoff games include a win (at home) over Matt Stafford and 2 loses, 1 to Matt Hasselback and 1 to Alex Smith? You mean that Drew Brees?

    I think a guy who has won 70% of his playoff games is elite. I think a guy who has a record 5 road playoff wins is elite. Of the 32 teams in the NFL there are actually more than 3 elite QBs. Eli IS on that list.

    Just pray Brady and Belichick do not choke away another Super Bowl.

  • @drbayoms is that why hes never had a passer rating over 92? is that why his career passer rating is 82? is that why his qbr this year was 14th? is that why he threw 25 interceptions this year? manning is barely a top 10 qb. brady, brees, rodgers, romo, stafford, roethlisberger, ryan, and rivers are all better qbs. next year, peyton will have a better year and so will newton and vick. playoff wins are team efforts. otherwise, dan marino must not be an elite quarterback. dont be an idiot

  • @hestermanfan 25 interceptions last year*

  • @hestermanfan -And Brees was right behind him with 23. Many of those int. were the fault of the receiver's not Eli.

  • @hestermanfan dude stafford? ryan?RIVERS? better qbs..ur nuts

    

  • @hestermanfan

    1.)You fucking idiot. You are not even equipped with the ability to do a simple fact check before spouting off erroneous stats. Eli threw 16 INTs this year. Now list for us the passer rating of Eli Manning in his playoff career. Go and take a look at each playoff game Eli ever played. Now give us the passer rating. Tell me what you see.

    Philip Rivers has had more talent on his team than most of the QBs you listed. And year after year in BIG moments, he chokes.

  • @hestermanfan

    2.)Now list for us the head to head match up stats of Eli and Romo. Who has played better? What exactly is Matt Ryan's playoff record again? What are his STATS in those playoff games. Michael Vick has served 23 months in prison, switched to a new team in a new conference. And yet, the LAST playoff win the Falcons had.....................was with Vick at QB. And he did not have HALF the talent on his team that Ryan has now.

  • @hestermanfan

    3.)Give us the head to head match up stats of Eli and Brady. Eli Manning had probably his worst season with his Number 1 WR serving jail time for shooting himself in the leg. Drew Brees (Mr. Elite) got hammered by that vaunted ..........SEATTLE SEAHAWKS defense. Give us his stat line for that game.

  • Comment removed

  • @hestermanfan

    5.)Take EVERY question/challenge I posed to you and list those stats.

  • @hestermanfan -, I want someone who wins championships.

    That leaves Brady, Brees, Rogers, and Rothelisberger. Eli makes 5-top 5.

  • @drbayoms He needs to play at this level for more than one season in a row. If Eli plays this way next year then he'll be elite

    BTW, Sanchez has won 66% of his playoff games + has 4 road wins. Is he closing in on elite?

    See how basing a QB's status off purely wins doesnt work? Brees put up 30+ vs the Niners and Eli 17. A muffed puny gave Eli the win. If Bradshaw's fumble is ruled correctly, we're talking 49ers-Pats and Eli is at home

    Eli still isnt in that Brees/Rodgers/Brady class

  • @drbayoms He's played very well, but I still think there is a noticeable gap between him, and the three guys I mentioned. Until he puts up both the stats and the wins for more than one season, he isn't elite. He had 25 picks last year, don't forget that.

  • @NEPatriots128154

    So how many turnovers did Eli have against the same 49ers that intercepted Brees...twice?

    Brees threw 22 INTs last year. So what's your point?. Where was Plaxico Burress last year? Think maybe that had something to do with the 25 INTs? Drew Brees and Eli Manning are in the same boat. And of all the QBs you named, UNTIL this year, ALL had better talent at the WR & TE position than Eli EVER did. Not to mention that of all the coaches. Coughlin is the most conservative.
