Why is Eli Manning not considered Elite?

[freddy01]

He has 2 super bowl rings. The only other Qb's in the league with that are Tom Brady of course with 3 and Ben Roethesberger.


Peyton manning is considered elite obviously because he is the best QB in the league but he only had 1 super bowl ring. Aaron rodgers and Brees both only have 1 super bowl ring.


Is it because Eli looks like a dweeb or something?

because he's a 9-7 QB

Who flipping cares? These labels are so damn pointless. He's a better than a large majority of quarterbacks in the league, and is playing on The Giants, and has won 2 Superbowls.

Does it really matter if some talking head on ESPN doesn't think he's "elite?"

Trent Dilfer has one SB. Does that make him as good as Aaron Rodgers?

Eli is not considered elite because he isn't.

Sorry, not having this conversation. It's a dead horse that has been beaten, and beaten, and beaten again, with the same results. Do not start another thread like this.
