donovan4prez Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 sheli finally says something worth posting....... When you start comparing yourself to other quarterbacks, I want to be playing at the level where [big brother] Peyton's been playing, Tom Brady, what [Donovan] McNabb has been able to do. The elite quarterbacks in the league." Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGBLUE01 Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Well, Tom I can see. But if he wants to be like Peyton and McNabb, he must want to choke when it all counts. C'mon Eli, you're better than that. BTW, I respect those 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGBLUE01 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 before you can win a superbowl, you gotta be able to score in a playoff game Exactly. You gotta crawl B4 you can walk. Its funny to me how Eagle fans use that playoff game as trash talk. Like it was something unexpected. A young QB in his first playoff appearance with half his team injured, what did you think would happen? And, you gotta remember, Its better to go and lose, then to not go at all.

Thats right, COMPLETLEY HEALTHY teams. This team assembled is pretty new together, w/ the QB in his 1st full year. Big difference. NOTE NOTE.........SEE ABOVE POST!!!! McNabb may ahve won his 1st one, but choked 4 times thereafter. Not impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue in Iraq Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 From the mouth of babes is right. My son would throw up when I burped him sometimes. Apparently, playing in a NFL game equates to burping for McNabb. Face it. No one on earth has an animated gif of Eli not scoring points in his first Playoff game. McNabb puking on the otherhand well......there are several of those floating around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, no matter how you slice it, having a good team around you is key, but Archie never made it to a post game, and it was a good portion of his own fault. Peyton has though, and some of that learning had to come from Archie. Peyton learned from Archie, Eli is learnin from Peyton. Its a gradual process, which I believe will work great for Eli.

fishgutmartyr Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Sorry, Archie wasn't a bad quarterback. 2-time pro-bowler on a below-.500 team speaks for itself. That normally doesn't happen for a quarterback for a losing team. He was in the top 10 of the league multiple seasons in every stat there is a record (I hope I'm clear that I don't mean top ten in every stat for a given season). By the time he got to Houston and Minnesota, he had already gotten the snot knocked out of him for 10 years at NO. At the time he was jumping back and forth to Houston and Minnesota, those teams weren't exactly powerhouses, either. Look for yourself I'm not really not an Archie Manning fan, just like to see respect given when it is due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plax 4 Prez Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I can careless, what Archie or Peyton have accomplished, fuck them, I only care about Eli right now, and if he can't take us back to the playoffs within 2 or 3 years he'll be dropped like Dave Brown and Danny Kanell, but if he continues to play good (which IMO he's learning more and more each day) and lead us to victories like he did 11 times last season, then he will make his own history... take that trash about Archie and Peyton and take that to the Colts or the Saints mb...
