Eli manning is a retard

[mmmdk]

To be honest I can think of 10 QBs I would pick in front of Eli to lead my team. Yet he wins the Superbowl and he is God's Gift to QBs.

Yup, I think I agree - 10 should do it. Still better than 22 other NFL teams. But one can't deny the pedigree in the Mannings.

You do realize that Archie lead the 'Aints. The bag wearing NFL football franchise. Archie was 2,011/3,642 or 55% for 23,911 yards 125TDs 173INTs and 67.1 QB rating. Almost 50 more picks than TDs!

LOL - I do know! And I let my eldest brother know it too as he's a HUGE Saints fan. He goes the Super Dome every season...all the way from Denmark the last 5 years. As a young lad in 1992, I went along to the Super dome and NY the next week to see the Saints. In these days Packers ticket were out of reach for fans in Europe.

Manning was the absolute least of the Saints problems in those days. He was on some horrible teams. You really have to put his stats in context with the time he played:

Archie Manning.......... - 2011/3642; 55%; 23,911 yards; 125 TDs; 173 INTs; 67.1 rating
Contemporary HOF'er - 2025/3901; 52%; 27,989 yards; 212 TDs; 210 INTs; 70.9 rating

Both came into the league about the same time and left about the same time. Manning played with no one. "Contemporary HOF'er" played with a roster full of All-Pros and future Hall of Famers. Personally, I think the Steelers might have been even better with Manning than Bradshaw, and Manning would have been in the Hall, not Bradshaw.

That's what my brother says too. QB stats sure were different in the '70ties. Good post.

I'll tell you how it happened! The Steelers won Superbowls and the 'Aints didn't. There are quite a few HOF that I scratch my head on how they made it there. If you look at those players they tended to play on the dynasty teams. Not saying it is right or wrong but it sure makes you wonder.

Yup. Bradshaw is certainly one of them. The best thing he did as a QB was hand off.
