Eli has the worst completion percentage in the NFC East.

But he's got the only ring.

But he's got the only ring.

I'm tired of this argument. He didn't win them the SB himself. They won in spite of him. A good QB goes a long way towards winning SBs (emphasis on the s). One SB win does not a great QB make. If he leads his team to a SB this year (LEADS) then I'll be convinced. Otherwise I've spent however many years watching him be average with flashes of good.

Doesn't Ben have 2 rings?

But he's got the only ring.

Check out his game log for that season...it's not pretty. They won despite having him as QB. He did get "hot" for the last game of the season and the playoffs, but throughout weeks 1-16, he had 4 games where he had completion percentages in the 30-46% range, only 3 games over 60%, a 59-yard game, a 99-yard game, 19 TDs and also 19 INTs, 7 games under 200 yards passing, 9 of the games he did not have more TDs than INTs. Fumbled 13 times, lost 7.

He had a nice 273 yard game with 1 TD and 4 INTs though!

Against the Skins:

Wk 3 - 21/36, 232 yds, 1TD, 2 INTs, 58.3%, 1 fumble lost
Wk 15 - 18/52, 184 yds, 1TD, 0 INTs, 34.6%, 1 fumble lost

Truly the only thing I hope this contract does is put dollar signs in Jason's eyes. IF he leads this team to win a SB this year, He will be a golden boy. I hope Jason saw the contract and circled 2 FEB in a big green circle!

He brought intangibles to the table. Peyton and Archie.

You may be tired of it but tell me it's not a HUGE reason why he received the contract that he did.

At the end of the day when people want to keep tossing out these stats about how bad he is, the one thing that trumps all is that ring.

Saying they won in spite of him just rings of "hater" to me. Of course he didn't win it all by himself, but he played a big role down the stretch in the playoffs and SB.
