Come on…Eli wasn’t even the MVP of either SB. It should have been Tyree in one for the velcro catch and Welker in this last one for dropping a ball he catches 99% of the time.

Inconsistent? Is Kurt Warner choosing to misremember his terrible years in NY? Isn’t that pretty much the definition of inconsistency, to be really bad, then really good, then really bad then really good again like Kurt’s career?

When you have 2 Rings you belong in the HOF…

As for Plunkett he threw more INT’S then TD’S and only had a 52% Completion Ratio…

I actually like Warner, but this sounds like he is a little jealous. Seems like Warner has seen that his chances for the HoF just took a hit.

Warner has three SB appearances with one Win. He had 14 game winning drives in his career.

Eli Manning has two SB rings, which both were game winning drives on his part. Not to mention that Eli has 25 game winning drives in his career. Not to mention to SB MVP trophies. All within 3/4 of the time of Warner’s career … and Eli still has many years left.

Last year this time people were referring to Eli as being nothing more than a turnover machine, if it had not been for that defense I don’t think the Giants would have won, but it had nothing to do with Eli being outstanding. I agree with Warner.

Is anyone surprised that Kurt Warner would have a problem with Eli being in the HOF? Guess who replaced Kurt Warner as starting Giants QB after Kurt stunk up the joint in 2 consecutive games?
Yep, Eli.

Warner is a hall of famer. One thing I look at when comparing QBs is how would they do if they switched teams? Not an exact science, but it’s a little more of an apples to apples argument. Could Eli have led the Cardinals to the Super Bowl? I think Kurt was one of the most accurate and toughest QBs I have ever seen, but the injuries that killed the middle of his career make people forget that. Did you ever see Kurt duck to avoid a hit? No, he would stand there (sometimes foolishly) and take the hit while delivering the ball with pinpoint accuracy. Plus, before all the injuries (thanks for the protection, Martz) you couldn’t rattle him. I think Kurt gets in, give Eli a little more time, too soon to rush to judgement. Remember after Brady won his third and people were having this same argument about him? A little time passes, and now there’s no doubt.

Its beginning to bother me, all the supposed football fans that have watched a QB help his team to not one, but two Super Bowls, and he hasnt even hit his prime, but insist he isnt any good, or say he is overrated, or not “elite”! Im by far not a Giants fan or Eli Manning fan. I am however , a football fan and just watched a Qb in his 8th season, cap off a 2nd SB victory! Not necasarrily a Hall of Famer yet, but if he is blessed with a few more seasons…. he will without a doubt be in Canton. As for Kurt Warner, I was actually a fan of his, and his comments are kinda out of character for him. But anyway, haters be aware, Eli is about to enter his Golden years as a QB, enjoy your crow because he is everything ya say he is not!

Never was a fan of any of the teams he was on, but Kurt is a soild QB and a very entertaining story. Seems like an even keeled guy (for a bible thumper). As for HOF, I’ll leave that to the committee, that’s their job after all right?

Kurt Warner is a fool to say Eli should not be a hall of famer one more season out of Eli and he will already have better numbers than Warner. What does he have on Eli two league mvps big deal I’d take two super bowl mvps over league MVP and day. And look what happened to Aaron Rodgers (this years league MVP) against Eli. Yes it takes a team to get there but no quarterback is better than Eli in the fourth he may be inconsistent sometimes but the kid knows how to win and in my eyes is a hall of famer. Warner has never put up good numbers with out an all star line up of recievers (bruce and holy in St. Louis and bolden and Fitzgerald in Arizona. Kurt Warner was lucky Eli can play. And his is all coming from an eagles fan.

It’s the Hall of FAME. How else would Joe Nameth be in there? He has terrible numbers but he was FAMOUS for predicting the Jets would win.

Can you think of two plays as famous as the passes to Tyree and Manningham in recent Super Bowls?

He’s a lock.

How many rings a QB has is totally overrated as far as how good he is. If Tyrese and Manningham don’t make unbelievable catches, then Eli has zero rings. Is there anyone, anyone, who thinks Eli is as good as Brees? No. But if it weren’t for the refs cheating in the NFCC game vs the Vikings, Brees would have zero rings. And then everyone would be saying Eli must be better than Brees. Bottom line – the ‘rings’ argument is ridiculous.

There’s more to being great than just stats. Is Eli also an emotional leader? When the chips are down,do his teammates want him to be the one in charge? Does he take a hit and get back up and not whine that his teammates aren’t getting the job done? Are his coaches,teammates and fans confident that he’s going to get the job done in the fourth quarter when they need him to? Dan Marino has some of the greatest stats of all time.How many Super Bowl rings? Football isn’t track and field where the fastest or the strongest wins. It’s a team sport that needs a LEADER. It also takes heart,brains,determination, and the REFUSAL to lose. Eli has exhibited all of those qualities. Stats don’t mean diddly if you ain’t got the Lombardi Trophy.Eli’s got two.

If Eli isn’t, Kurt DEFINITELY isn’t.

But Eli is, and Kurt is 2nd ballot.

Yeah, Kurt Warner should talk about being a game changer in critical situations…how about that red zone INT he threw right to James Harrison who ran it back 100 yrds for the TD??? That play right before the half changed the whole outlook of Super Bowl XLIII, a game he and the Cards had in their control for victory….as much respect I have for him, he’s not in the H.O.F. either and shouldn’t give such criteria’s “knowing” he’s not a H.O.F’er himself. He could get jerked just like Parcells did recently.

Eli has set the record for most 4th qtr TD’s, a mark only Peyton and the great Johnny Unitas held for many years…he is the new King of the 4th Qtr. Granted, I agree w/Warner that Eli has had inconsistencies. However, give Eli one more season like what he had in 2011 plus another SB victory (not necessarily another MVP award but would help) and he will eventually go into Canton!!!

See this is the thing many of you guys are forgetting about the “sport” of playing football – it’s analogous to a old west gun fight …

The opposing QB’s are the gunslingers, their WR’s and RBs their weapons etc

Eli has defeated 3 Super Bowl winning QB’s in succession to lead the Giants to 2 Championships in 4 seasons – B.Favre, T.Brady(twice in S.Bowl), A.Rogers.

Eli has won when it really counted, and led his team the whole way – 3rd down conversions, red zone efficiency, 4th quarter heroics …..

He has set himself up to be a shoe in Hall of Famer.

I believe Eli will be in the HOF. Right now? Not sure but when you consider that Tom Brady is considered by many to be the best QB ever and both of his Superbowl losses are to Eli, thats impressive. I also think its funny how everyone uses his own stats against him, and say that the defense carried him but forget to mention that in 07, Tampa #2 New England #4 Dallas #9 and Greenbay #11 best defenses in the NFL. Giants were ranked #7. Also during that playoff run Eli is credited with two 4qtr comebacks, and 3 game winning drives. Also look at his recievers over his career they keep changing, because of new guys being added practically every year. So there was a lot of drops, and dropped TD’s. The one that stands out most to me was after Plax shot himself, our first playoff game against the Eagles, Hixon dropped a deep TD pass that landed right in his arms. Makes me wonder if this could have been his 3rd Superbowl, afterall we did beat all the remaining playoffs teams during the regular season.

Kurt warner your a complete idiot.Jealous that Eli hasnt lost a SB where you lost two.Sour grapes muchacho.You really do not deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as hall of fame

Kurt Warner is a putz. He never liked Eli taking over cuz he sucked with the Giants. He held the ball too long, the o-line sucked and took alot of sacks b/c of it. Saying this seems like jealously to me. Stick to passing out your prayer cards, Kurt. I’ll take Eli and we will see where he is in a few years. If Joe Namath is in the HOF with more INTs than TD’s, I am sure Eli will be considered when the time comes.

sounds jealous and petty coming 24 hrs after the guy wins his 2nd super bowl in 4 yrs…who cares what kurt warner thinks anyhow

I think that if Eli isn’t considered HOF material then Joe Namath needs to be removed.

Eli isn’t a hall of famer and won’t be for a while…Kurt is just calling it like he sees it. Bottom line is Eli is NOT a hall of fame QB as of now, and most people disagreeing with Warner are just baby NY fans who whine and think Eli deserves more credit than he should actually get. Each season so far basically has been mediocre. But now to the sweet part all you Giants fans want to hear, Eli still has quite a bit of time left and it is very well possible that he will get more superbowl rings

blasterpastor — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:38:23 +0000

Total sour grapes from the guy who was benched for the guy who has two Super Bowl wins and two Super Bowl MVPs. The one Super Bowl win Warner has had him having to throw for 365 yards just to get the win. No, Mr. Warner. You’re too close to the situation to be making comments about Eli!

Sounds to me like Warner has issues, man he won’t give Eli any credit. Jealousy will not get you into canton either Kurt. Dude beginning to sounds like a cry baby.

Says the guy who threw a pick six at the goaline seconds before halftime in the superbowl…essentially the difference in the game.

Kurt should keep quiet on this one.

I agree with Kurt on this one. People are too knee jerk anymore. Remember last season when Vick was the second coming of christ and people were proclaiming him to be one of, if not thee best QB in the league because he had 1 good season. Then we all got to see what Vick did this year. So I’m with Kurt on this one. He’s had a decent year this year but lets see this over the course of a few years like we see with his brother year in and year out.

Numbers mean jack if you don’t win the big ones… ask Marino, who’s 1,000,000x the QB Warner will ever be. He was a system QB that lucked into some amazing WR’s.

Eli has more cause than Warner.

If Aaron Rodgers and Ben Roethlisburger are already considered HOF locks, then so should Eli.

So if Eli isn’t, then neither are they…YET.
