Armchair Quarterback

9-7 record, tough schedule, blah, blah, blah. Nothing elite about a 9-7 record.
Same QB who threw 25 pics to Brady's 4 in 2010. Same QB who has 55 less wins and 15 more losses than Brady. Same QB whose only playoffs wins came in 2007 prior to this year. Even in 07 SB he did his best to throw away the game but the Pats secondary wanted the loss more. Insulting to Brady to even mention them in the same breath.

All that moronic Tebow hype has moved on to Elisha.

And Elisha is his real name just like his pappy, Elisha Archie.

I would have to agree. Calling Eli an ELITE quarterback is like calling my Camry a well tuned race car. Eli is clutch, not ELITE.

I can explain it. He's really good and this year has been incredibly clutch.

He's also VERY lucky, how often do you see him just throw a ball up into double coverage only for his receiver to make a circus catch or the DB drops an easy pick...or as seen on Sunday the DB's run into each other.

Can someone explain why insulting a man by feminizing his name is still cool in 2012?

Armchair Quarterback

I would call his game against the 49ersas incredibly lucky, did his best to give that game away too.

And the feminizing thing doesn't really fly to well after the beating Eli took this past weekend, while still making plays.

Comes from the largest media market, so there are many avenues to extol how great he is... so if you repeat a lie over and over again, from many different souces then "poof" the magic happens.. he becomes elite.

OTOH the media does not have to tell me he is a pretty good qb, he passes the eyeball test.

He's had a great January, no doubt. And for the season his QB rating is at the top of the non stud QB.

However, his TD/INT for the season is a mediocre 29/16. Anything below 2/1 is decidedly mediocre. Even with Brady's INT fest early in the season his is 39/12, better than 3/1.

Moving on to the second half of the season Manning's TD/INT is a horrendous 14/10. While Brady's is 19/2.

Again, Manning has been excellent in January and with only one game left to play that could be all that matters if he stays hot. His season, though, and his second half especially, points to a QB who could have a bad game as easily as he could have a good one.

He'll never be "elite" with a face like an inbred yokel from Mayberry.
