re: Looking to clairfy some "myths" about LSU Football

So you are only good in College if your team did very well?

As for the NFL you are shitting me right?

I guess Dan Marino was sucked then since he didnt even have 1.

Fuc the manning family. From No never showed Lsu any love. Then to top it off Eli refuses to sign with San Diego, at the same time Pat Tillman turns down millions to go die for his country! You wana go buy yor kid a manning jersey, your what's wrong with this country. Go get your kid a Pat Tillman jersey and learn a lesson about who heroes really are. I respect Peyon as a player but the rest of the family can go to he'll!

HERE WE GO.

To keep it on subject, while i hate Eli for personal reasons, to have two sons start for SEC teams, get drafted, start on NFL teams, and win Superbowls.... Not overrated.
And like people said, Archie moved down because he went to the Saints. Not everyone that loves the Saints, loves LSU see Saints board

Archie and Ely never sniifed even a conf title

Archie was a one man team who still beat LSU (and most other teams) and Eli did get an SEC-West co-Championship (with a banner and everything! ) with a supporting cast like Will Smith's on Fresh Prince.

Peyton by most accounts underchanved with only one SEC tile and no NC's. Tee Martin..enuff said.

Tee Martin never beat Danny Weurffel, either. And Peyton absolutely won the Heisman and absolutely had it stolen from him.

Peyton, Eli and Archie are (and were) all great QBs, in college and in the pros. Any one of their careers would warrant a great football reputation for an entire family (look at the hype surrounding Phillip Rivers' little brother, and Rivers hasn't matched any of the Mannings). The fact that all three of them are in one immediate family is unbelievable and almost certainly unprecedented at QB. In fact, I cannot think of a single family that has even had three starting QBs in the SEC, much less successful ones. And I surely can't think of one with three successful SEC QBs PLUS two SuperBowl rings.

Bottom line, if there's such a thing as football royalty, the Mannings are among it. Plus, Peyton makes some really funny commercials and none of them (as far as we know) does any of the stuff that makes football look bad (drugs, violence, steroids, etc.). I don't see them getting any hype they don't deserve or haven't earned.
