Eli Manning: I'm in class with Tom Brady

[polamalubeast]

Eli Manning is a top-caliber quarterback. Well, at least he says he is.


The New York Giants quarterback didn't shy away when, as a Tuesday guest on "The Michael Kay Show" on ESPN New York 1050, he was asked if he is in the same class as three-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady.



"I consider myself in that class," said Manning, the MVP of Super Bowl XLII. "Tom Brady is a great quarterback, he's a great player and what you've seen with him is he's gotten better every year. He started off winning championships and I think he's a better quarterback now than what he was, in all honesty, when he was winning those championships.

"I think now he's grown up and gotten better every year and that's what I'm trying to do. I kind of hope these next seven years of my quarterback days are my best."


While Manning is regarded as a very good quarterback by many -- he has led the Giants to the playoffs in four of his seven seasons as the full-time starter -- there is often hesitation to place him among the elite in the game. Manning was fifth in the league in passing yards (4,002) and fourth in touchdown passes (31) last season, but his 25 interceptions is the number that jumps out the most.

What the hell has Baby Eli been smokin? I'm not fan of A$$ Chin, but Eli doesn't make a boil on his ass or that of his big brother (or our Ben).

And - Eli doesn't receive Fathers Day cards from all over the world like the Sperminator does either.

[Nadroj 20]

So anyone can say they are that good? Oh oh oh I'm in class with Tom Brady tooooo!



Get real Eli.

[tube517]

Eli is a doofus and is overrated. No way is he in the top tier of QBs.

He does have a SB win over Marsha so nobody can take that away.

[steeldevil]

Idiot.

Can't disagree with that, but Eli is still living in a crack induced high if he thinks he's even remotely close to the calibre of QB that A$$ Chin is.

[The Patriot]

Screw Eli! How the hell did he avoid that pass rush?

Or he just wants to be like Mark Sanchez and pick boogers all day.

[The Duke]

He obviously thinks Brady sucks then

[86WARD]

Eli (w/ the Giants) vs. Brady (w/ the Patriots) - The closest he comes is being the brother of a guy in the same class as Brady. However, Brady as a prospect, wasn't near, or even a thought of the player he has become in the Patriots system. He was considered too skinny, too slow, too weak, too immobile and was actually considered a system guy. There's a reason so many teams passed on him so many times. So could Eli be in the same class as Brady if Eli were in the Patriots system. No one will ever know...but it's definitely a possibility.

Look bottom line:




Class: GAY



Class: GAY

RESULT: They are in the same class.

Eli has not won a playoff game outside of the year he won the Superbowl and he is pretty inconsistent. He has no right to be mentioning himself alongside elite QBs

Ok, what is the new drug on the street? It must have hit New York first.

Well he lives in Mahwah NJ now and there's a whole lotta heroin there so he must be hanging with the junkies around those trailer parks lol.

[Psycho Ward 86]

and my personal favorite...

[oneforthetoe]

So, Eli and Tom are taking classes together?

community college?



Thats what i got out of that.

[GBMelBlount]

Seriously, what else is he going to say?..."I am slightly above average and over paid." ?

[polamalubeast]

Tom Brady:145 games and 103 interception

Eli manning:105 games and...113 interception

[SteelCityMan786]

Really Eli? Really??? Anyone who has a heavy dosage of common sense knows that QBs 1-3 are Brady, Peyton and Ben with arguements sustainable for Brees, and maybe the San Diego Cry Baby and Vick.

[suitanim]

I agree with 86Ward, there are probably 10-12 guys who could put up Brady numbers in that system.

[HometownGal]

[86WARD]

It's not really that far fetched when you think about it and think about them as prospects. Eli was a better "draft prospect" than Brady was and it wasn't even close...

But like I said, we'll never really know.

Two words: Matt Cassel in 2008

[BigNastyDefense]

Eli Manning is a good QB, but he is nowhere near the QB that Ass Chin is.

[steeldevil]

It seems like Eli's games are either really good or really bad.

[The Patriot]

Two words: Matt Cassel in 2008

But that's four words!

You must be wrong.

[suitanim]

Two-thousand-eight

That would make 6 words.

(In 2008)

Hairsplitting over.

Anyway, Ryan Mallet looked like Joe Montana in that system last week. Maybe the list should be 15-20 QB's who could put up Brady numbers in that system?
