Earlier today, Rosenthal raised the question of whether Eli Manning of the Giants is an elite quarterback.
(I don't know how he resolved that question. I only read MDS' stuff.)
But Eli must be taken seriously as an MVP candidate. For more on the other candidates for postseason awards through seven weeks of the NFL season, click the rectangular thingee below.

Hasn't it become pretty much Peyton Manning's award to lose?
Florio doing comedy now? If Ben throws 3 picks he's a marginal qb, Eli does and he's MVP worthy.
Didn't they have 5 TOs last night and still win? How come nobody is talking about a hard hit on Romo? What better competition to have 2 Manning brothers try for the MVP, makes me want to puke.
:yawn:
Another pulitzer prize winner by Mike Florio. :der:
Hakeem Nicks has a better shot at it than Eli... Peyton will win it im sure
Eli WOULD have a shot at it if he'd stop with the damn throws off his back foot. They need to hook electrodes up to the boy and every time he's in a falling away position while also having his right arm cocked, he should get a jolt. :chuckle:

Wow....he definitely looks a little "light in the loafers"...errr...ummm...I mean cleats....:chuckle:
He is a good QB but doubtedly MVP material.
Random question, has a wide receiver ever won the MVP?
Looks like Jerry Rice shared it with John Elway in 1987. Other than that, it appears the answer is surprisingly no.Quote:

MVP candidate? :lol: Florio must've gotten into the good stuff. Yea, 14 TDs 11 INTs and a QB rating of 88.3 is MVP worthy. :lol:
:noidea:
Eli is moron:mad:
Too many multi-interception games to be considered elite or a league MVP.
