Empire State of Mind

Eli Manning believes he should be in the same elite class with the likes of Tom Brady and his brother Peyton.  Is he wrong for saying such a bold statement?  My answer is no and I am going to tell you why.  Eli has won as many Super Bowls as his brother in less chances, he has also beaten Tom Brady's undefeated Patriots in Super Bowl 42 with a game winning drive which ended with a Eli Manning touchdown pass and he has a Super Bowl MVP, something that even the great Brett Favre couldn't even accomplish.  So yes, Eli can be inconsistent at times.  And yes, he may look like he has no clue on what's going on, but his resume speaks for itself.  Eli is a winner.  I don't care what he does in the first 3 quarters of a football game, as long as the game is close in the 4th quarter, Eli is golden.  He may not be an elite quarterback, but Peyton's little brother is definitely clutch.  If he can find a way to help the New York Football Giants win in Foxborro this weekend, then he might have the Giants going in the right direction moving forward with two talented teams in Philadelphia and Dallas struggling to keep pace with them.
