2. Two Super Bowl Wins/MVPs and plenty of legendary moments
Not only does Eli Manning have two Super Bowl wins, but he also has two Super Bowl MVPs and plenty of legendary moments to go alongside this. Said moments are ones that Giants fans will cherish forever.
The NY Giants were massive underdogs in both of their Super Bowl wins against the New England Patriots. In both years they won the Super Bowl, the Giants were the Wild Card team, making it even more special that they were able to win the Super Bowl twice. Don’t forget that they beat an undefeated Patriots team in 2007.
In these games, Manning was responsible for some of the greatest plays in NFL history. Whether it be the impossible throw to Mario Manningham, or his ridiculous ability to break away from the defense on the David Tyree helmet catch play, Manning put the team on his back during both Super Bowls to help win the game.
These wins, combined with Manning’s stats, should be enough to enshrine his name into the Hall of Fame. Especially when you look at much worse QBs, with less Super Bowl wins, who are in the Hall. This includes Joe Namath, who is worse than Manning. However, his lone Super Bowl win was somehow enough to propel him into the Hall of Fame.
