Two time Super Bowl MVP. He should be top 5 at least. Not his fault his offensive line is dog shite.

Of all teams in the NFL, the New York Giants should know that you don't always need an elite quarterback to win championships. The Giants GM should call Manning's bluff.

Why shouldn't he be? He has accomplished more than any quarterback not named Peyton Manning or Tom Brady in the league.

I hope Andrew Luck has the balls to ask for a 100% guaranteed contract.

They don't win two Super Bowls without him. Especially the second one.

2 years ago he led the league in interceptions with almost double the amount of interceptions as touchdowns. That isn't all the offensive line's fault.

He's never been anywhere near top 5 in the NFL except in interceptions, and he's well past his prime. Without those defenses, he wouldn't have won anything.

Forcing him to throw the ball before going through his progressions is their fault.

winning SBs is a team accomplishment. We are talking about him as a QB which in an individual thing.

Could Eli win SBs with the lions? Hell no. Could Rodgers win SBs as a Giants QB? I think so.

Brandon Jacobs won 2 SBs on those Giants teams, should be make elite RB money?

You're using winning SBs as a correlation for individually pay logic is flawed.

If you want to be the highest paid player in the league, you can't make excuses on the supporting cast. You better be worth it by yourself

Rodgers has had a dogshit OLine his entire career as well and has put up extremely better numbers than Eli. He's the guy that's actually the highest paid player in the league

Without him at quarterback and playing clutch in those two playoff runs, they don't win anything. The first Super Bowl run he only threw one interception the entire post-season. He was the one that drove the field against Green Bay to set up the game winning field goal and he's the one that escaped pressure against the Patriots and made the throws downfield that led to the game winning touchdown.
