I've attached a link below to Gary Myers piece in todays News. The Online version leaves out several paragraphs from the paper version, if you can pick up a copy somewhere.
The article begins: "Eli Manning is about to become the highest-paid player in NFL history, which seems a bit out of whack because he's no better than the NFL's fifth-best quarterback going into the 2009 season. But he's being welcomed as the eighth all-time member of the $100 Million Quarterback Club by virtue of that incredible four-game playoff run a year and a half ago when he outplayed Jeff Garcia, Tony Romo, Brett Favre and Tom Brady as the Giants became one of the most improbable Super Bowl champions ever.
Absolutely nothing Manning did before or has done since suggests he should be the highest-paid player." (my underline)
In the paper version of the article (the online version leaves out a few paragraphs), Myers lists the top five QB's as: Brady, Peyton, Ben, Brees and then Eli, concluding that "...he's a lot closer to the next level of Donovan McNabb, Philip Rivers, Kurt Warner and Matt Ryan than he is to Brady and his brother." (my underline again)
Amazing, consider it's coming from a New York writer who led the Spygate charge. Eli is on a very short leash now with the New York media and Myers knows that Tommy is the best.
Giants make Eli Manning highest-paid quarterback in NFL, but he's not best
