Eli Manning's 6-Year, $97.5 Million Extension One of NFL's Biggest Deals

I'd love to know how much the Manning family has made off football. You take the contracts, endorsements, comercials, and everthing else they do to make money it a boat load.

Right now they're negotiating to buy Mississippi to help out with the national debt.

You can say what you want about him prior to the last 6 or so game leading them to the SB but in that stretch he was a key to their winning. Heck the one play in the SB when he had guys hanging off him and some how got away and then threw that ball to get the first down was what kept winning drive alive. You can also point to about another 12 QB's that could not beat the Pats that year but he found a way to win. Is he worth that contract? Only time will tell.

Of those 12 how many of those QB's defenses held the pats to 14 pts? Eli got the payday but we all know the defense won the SB. Pats score their usual 30+ and they are in 'Perfectville' with the 72 Phins.

Eli gets a lot of credit for the SB (hence this big ass contract) but you're right, it was the Giants D that made it possible and NYG getting a few breaks (Darth Hoody not going for a field goal late in the game or Eli barely avoiding getting sacked in the Tyree miracle catch).

I wonder if Eli will be taunting Peyton over who makes more money.

You're forgetting that Peyton is probably one of the highest paid players in the league on endorsements alone. In 2006 alone Peyton racked in $11.5 million in endorsements.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Oh those crazy Giants.

Good for Eli. He should send some of the money to Burress because his production is going to go down significantly without him.

Manning is the most over-rated player in football since Alstott, and by a far margin. This baloney about "clutch" is silly. If he was worth the money, or even close, they wouldn't need him so much in the "clutch". There's a reason why Peyton and Brady aren't on the list. It's all a matter of opinion but no way would I want him for my QB. I honestly think he is best the 3rd best QB in his own division.

He is inaccurate, lacks leadership qualities that elite QBs have, and has suspect decision making at times. His career completion percentage is not only not good but in reality pretty bad(55%) and his TD/Ints(98/74) is pretty awful too.

Eli is the most overrated QB in the NFL. Im happy as hell about this signing. He is not even a top 10 QB in the league. I wonder if the Giants could turn back the clock if they would take him over Rivers? I wouldnt.

Are you kidding? I don't think he is in the top 10 in the league. I wouldn't trade JC for Manning 2.0. In almost every statistical respect JC has been a better QB. They won that SB in spite of him. Or rather, he is adequate enough to lead a team with solid offensive pieces and a heck of a defense deep into the playoffs where anything can happen.

Off the top of my head:

Manning
Brady
Roethlisberger
Rivers
Warner
McNabb
Palmer
Brees
JC


And those are just the ones I'd DEFINITELY take. I'd probably take Ryan, Hasselbeck, Cutler and maybe another few others too.

Jason Campbell? HAHAHAHAHA. I'll give you the other guys are better than Eli and I do not think he is worth that kind of money either. But, Jason Campbell? Please, he is one of the worst starting QB's in the league.

No disrepect intended but we're gonna kick your ass this year. :spank:
