What's this?

Remember the "is Eli elite" conversation some years ago? A bunch of people

think he's HOF caliber. I think he's ok, probably a bit above average, fairly solid but inconsistent starter. Tons of turnovers. He's sort of Joe Flacco. He has a career passer rating of 84.1 in a league where (this year) the average is 88.6 (that's far from my favorite stat, but people use it). To my eye he was always a second quartile QB... was never in the same conversation with Peyton, Brady, Brees, Favre, Roethlisberger, Rodgers, etc.

As for winning two super bowls, there were a bunch of other guys on those teams. The second win he played well, the first he was just ok... didn't lose it but their DL and the constant pressure on Brady was the reason they won that one. And without two miraculous catches, one by Tyree and one by Manningham, he doesn't win any Super Bowls.

Saquon Barkley is Exhibit A why you don’t draft a RB with a Top 5 pick. -- RoswellGAHokie 12/30/2019 10:59AM

Here are the top ten picks from that draft class -- DHokie 12/31/2019 09:20AM

Agreed, and I love Saquon. You draft QB, OT, DE, LB, and CB in the top 5. -- VTDante 12/30/2019 11:42AM

Other than QB, who is a franchise player? -- turkeywinghokie 12/30/2019 11:23AM

A team has better odds finding a franchise player at kicker or punter -- VTHokie2000 12/30/2019 2:46PM

Eli was alway overrated but he disappeared completely about 5 years ago ** -- 81_Hokie 12/30/2019 12:56PM

Overrated? Maybe not Peyton or HOF member, but 2 SB rings say different. ** -- BamBam 12/30/2019 1:22PM
