3. Worthy By Comparison

Eli Manning already has better numbers and more championships than some of the big name Hall of Fame Quarterbacks. Eli Manning has already had a more decorated career than players like Jim Kelly and Joe Namath. Statistically Manning has had a much better career than Teddy Bradshaw as well. Bradshaw however had so much postseason success that people overlook his regular season numbers.

Terry Bradshaw in 13 years threw 212 touchdowns and 210 interceptions. Namath threw 173 touchdowns and 220 interceptions. Manning already has more touchdowns then both. Granted that Manning plays in a more passer friendly league but Manning still turned the ball over less while throwing a lot more.

Manning will probably pass Joe Montana on the passing touchdown list in 2015. Of course Manning was not better but it just shows how consistent he has been over his career. He also has a chance at Johnny Unitas in the 2015 season. Manning already has more passing yards than Hall of Famers Jim Kelly, Troy Aikman, and Steve Young. He also has a good chance to pass Johnny Unitas and Joe Montana this season.
