http://www.yourfaceisasportsblog.com/2008/01/eli-manninglegend-in-making.html Heh, wow. Though honestly, I hope Eli can do better than a career QB rating in the 60s.
I hope so. I like Giant fans, i see you as our roomates who get better grades than us in class while we sleep too late and rely on the wrong people to get us by, rather than the better older brother who makes us look bad. Its not your fault we suck. Best of luck to Eli next Sunday, and if the story above is any indication of what may come, it would make the rest of the year perfect.
namath won a sb, eli has to win 1 before he can be compared to joe willie, those stats though were interesting, but think of the supporting cast, also remember namath became the 1st 4,000 yard passer in the afl, maybe even the nfl, he also threw 26td's in 14 games
Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of cherry picked stats in here and it's generally just a silly read I found through a Deadspin link. I just think that the funniest part of it is the juxtaposition of Eli and Namath's personalities.
Peyton and Eli swam in an Olympic Swimming Pool. That may have been the gayest thing I have ever said.
I know you don't take it seriously, LTS, so I'll forgive you for posting this nonsense. Through game 15 of his fourth year Eli was a mediocre-at-best QB who had never finished in the top 3 in any important QB category in any year of his career. Through his fourth year Namath had been to 3 Pro Bowls, had made 3 All-Pro teams, and had led the AFL in passing yardage twice, including being the first pro QB to get over 4000 yards. And, of course, any notion that Namath was ever anything but idolized by the fans is pure hogwash.
It sounds like that. Look, calling Eli a decent quarterback is insult enough to decent quarterbacks everywhere. Comparing Namath to someone with an extra chromosome is just unacceptable. Seriously, the kid plays decent (DECENT) football for four games and managed only to not lose the game for his team and he's being called the messiah. Just remember that even in Messiah Eli's best games, he will fumble the ball once and throw an interception, all in the third quarter.
Forget the Football part for a second............................ When Eli has a ticket number machine outside his bedroom like at a Deli counter with Super models and actresses lining up to get served, then and only then will he be Namath. In short he has to be caught with a bunch of drunk naked hot chicks and then go out and win the SB. Yeah then I would say it is a fair comparison.
