Eli Manning gets PAID

[PanthersFanNY]

An extension on his current deal which has 1 year left... So his contract now will be 7 years 106 million.

His career passer rating is 76.1.

QBs with a higher rating include: Byron Leftwich, Jake Delhomme, Jason Campbell, among many others.

Tim Couch and Patrick Ramsey have career passer ratings less than 2 points lower than Eli's.

I'd like to think that WINNING is alot more important than the QB rating stat but if ppl really want to get stuck up on career QB rating than would that mean Daunte Culpepper was a better quarterback than the likes of Dan Marino and John Elway? All Eli has done for us in New York is win...4 straight playoff appearances including a super bowl title with him as MVP, not to mention he is coming off a pro bowl year and has been an iron man for us. His yearly salary is now on the level of Matt Shaub and Cassel's and the 35mill guarentee'd is much less than Stafford and even Suggs received.

I don't like Manning very much, but I don't blame him for this... I'd sign that deal too. Do I think he's worth it? Meh...

[jkeough]

next to Vick, he has to be the most overrated QB of all time

Were the Giants winning because of Eli?

Since taking the starting job over the Giants have gone 41-23 so he must have been doing something right....and yes I would have to say he was one of the main factors behind our Superbowl run.

4 years prior to Eli we were 27-37...

[Fireball77]

next to Vick & Favre, he has to be the most overrated QB of all time

Fixed..

Eli still has a ton of critics so I can't call him overrated to that extent though. Everyone knows by now that I like the kid, and IMO there's no denying he is:

a) A big reason they made the playoff run they did in 07 (SB performance was ehhh though, not bad not great, he made a few timely plays, no doubt, but had some big time luck on his side on quite a few)

One mentally tough SOB which I respect BIG BIG TIME

c) Not an elite QB by ANY definition of the word or stretch of the imagination (but I don't think teams need elite QBs to be successful)

[Falcons1stPanthers2nd]

He's a solid QB who doesn't lose games. I don't see the hate being warranted. This means they'll be set at QB for a LONG time and they won't have to worry about the most important position on the field and the contract is most likely backloaded and Eli will never see much of that money.

FWIW, passer rating isn't the cover-all measure for how good a QB is.

Manning is much better than his passer rating would like you to believe.

[AKPantherFan]

i remember back in the day when all you had to do was get in his face a little and he would freak out...

I think some of those fears are still there, his protection has just gotten better.

Great.

The Panthers are 51-32 in games with Jake since 2003.

The 4 years prior they were 23-41.

Based on those stats Jake is a winner, but I'd still be pissed if he got a contract that averaged $15 million a year. And yes, Jake is older than Eli, but he has only been the starting quarterback for 2 seasons more than him.

he still does that, you just got to hit him early in the game...and i mean wax his ass and he is poo the rest of the game

[Purity-Control]

I got No problem with this guy getting paid, hes the face of the franchise & IMO one of the reasons why they are having the success they are having.

Maybe not a natural born leader like his bro, but he can certainly get the job done.

Ofcourse you would be pissed but last I checked Jake isn't Superbowl MVP coming off a probowl season...not to mention Jake is 34 and Eli is 28. I honestly have no idea why people are upset about this..this happens almost every year. We gave up ALOT to get him and he is our FRANCHISE quarterback...and compared to what the rookies are getting I think Eli deserves it, what was our other option? Let him hit free agency? Because im sure he would have seen more than 35M guarenteed in there.
