Eli’s Coming

Yes sir, Eli is coming to Glendale Arizona and he is bringing with him the best road show this side of Barnum and Bailey’s Circus. Now we are going to get a million comments or even a post from Dan dripping with sarcasm today. He spent all night texting me with why can’t Eli make a field goal or cover a packer receiver. But at the end of the day, Eli keeps producing.

The argument I have always tried to make is that it’s time to give Mr. Manning credit. I have never used the word great yet, just that up to this point in his career he has been worth the number 1 overall pick. Again comparing him to other quarterbacks drafted with the top pick and the list of guys in the Super Bowl by season four stands at Elway, Aikman, Bledsoe and now Manning. Two of those guys are considered all-time greats.

Eli is now the man in New York and has proven himself worthy of being their franchise QB.

Of course again Dan is going to tell you how Eli is like Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson and his team is winning in spite of him, and nothing could be further from the truth. He is the unquestioned leader of this team and he has lead his team to victory. Ten straight road wins isn’t a fluke, that’s a team that doesn’t get rattled and knows how to win both offensively and defensively. And just to get the Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson comparisons out of the way, here they are: (these are their numbers through their playoff runs)


Dilfer- QB Rating- 83.1 Com.- 47% YPG- 147 3 TD/1 INT

Johnson- QB Rating- 79.9 Com. – 54% YPG- 223 5 TD/2 INT

Manning- QB Rating-99.3 Com. – 62% YPG-200 4 TD/0 INT

Eli has been a lot better than those two assclowns. Long live Eli.
