New York Giants: Facts That Show Eli Manning Is A Hall Of Famer

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning is a polarizing figure. Should he be a Hall of Famer? These facts speak in Manning’s favor.

One of the most hotly contested issues in the world of sports is Eli Manning’s candidacy for the Hall of Fame. The New York Giants legend has pieced together an impressive resume, but he may be the most polarizing quarterback in NFL history.

Having discussed the reasons why Manning may not be enshrined into the Hall of Fame, it’s only fair to address the reasons why he should be.

Manning has never won a regular season MVP award, nor has he led the NFL in passing yards or passing touchdowns. He’s also a turnover machine who has a better shot at No. 1 on the all-time interceptions list than he does the all-time touchdowns list.

True as that may be, Manning’s bad is balanced out by the good of a resume that’s fairly described as unprecedented.

Acknowledging that there are detractions, it’s important to not write Manning off altogether. His resume checks a number of the boxes that the Hall of Fame voting committee looks for, and that gives him a legitimate chance to make it.

Eli Manning’s candidacy and deservedness will be debated until the day a decision is made, but the New York Giants star has a compelling case to make.
