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

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.
Naw, I wouldn't. Again, I'm talking about in the clutch - come from behind wins. Again, minus Brady and Manning, I'd take Eli over just about everyone on that list with five minutes left in the game. Certainly Campbell shouldn't be on that list as far as clutch performers are concerned. Not yet anyways.

Check this out. (this is through the first week of Sept/'09)

GAMES WON AFTER TRAILING GOING INTO Q4

McNabb: 11 out of 43 (25.6%)
Manning: 10 out of 33 (30.3%)

COMEBACK VICTORIES (trailing by 8 points or more going into Q4)

McNabb: 2 out of 22 (9.1%)
Manning: 4 out of 17 (23.5%)
