    eli manning

    would somebody please enlighten me as to why everyone thinks this kid is so good??? aside from his name, i don't see anything. somebody needs to realize that tiki barber is the reason they made it to the playoffs. kinda makes him look foolish (more so than he already was) for holding out on san diego... what a waterhead.
    I don’t know if the block on that last one was due to low trajectory or if the guys up front didn’t hold their ground well enough. I’m not convinced it matters. We have every reason to believe the ball could have gone through the uprights and the refs would have signaled first down Oregon. - D.E.

    Jason White did beat him out for almost, if not all the major college awards. Musta been a reason or two.

    White did have more talent around him.

    White had an edge on national televison appearances also.

    He also DOMINATED Eli's stats. Actually, statistically speaking Jason had one of the best seasons in the history of College Football, in that 2003 season.

    more talent does equate to better stats usually.

    he's also facing defenses that White didn't.

    I'm starting to catch on around here.

    Everybody sucks that wasn't a former Sooner

    Oh..trust me I realize Tiki had a hella good season. I had Tiki on my fantasy football lineup every week except the Giants bye week. He's the main reason I made it to my fantasy leagues Super Bowl game. If it weren't for Tiki..Eli wouldn't have posted near the stats that he had this year. I had Peyton Manning as my starter and used him every week but the Colts' bye week. I dropped Aaron Brooks early in the season and picked up Eli Manning as my backup QB after he had a stellar performance against somebody. But Eli still seems awfully inconsistent at this point in his career. I had to use Eli in my Super Bowl and I contribute my loss to Eli and the fact that had the Colts remained undefeated I could have used Peyton in the super bowl.

    If his last name was Jones he probably wasn't a first round draft pick. He's an average QB at best IMO.

    I can agree with the first part.

    2nd part......

    You said the same thing about VY.

    I'd have to doubt that VY is ever greater than average in the NFL.
