    Question Eli Manning emerges as MVP candidate

    Posted by Mike Florio on October 26, 2010 5:31 PM ET
    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.

    Re: Eli Manning emerges as MVP candidate

    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.

    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.

    He is a good QB but doubtedly MVP material.

    Re: Eli Manning emerges as MVP candidate

    Random question, has a wide receiver ever won the MVP?

    MVP candidate? Florio must've gotten into the good stuff. Yea, 14 TDs 11 INTs and a QB rating of 88.3 is MVP worthy.

    Too many multi-interception games to be considered elite or a league MVP.
