re: I think Eli Manning is underrated

If his last name was Smith, people would have a different perspective on his career. It would be viewed as a good not great career, and he would be seen as a tier 2 qb among his contemporaries. Where the calculus changes is because he's a Manning and he played in New York. Because of those two things, he is unjustifiably elevated by many.
I'd argue it's the rings, people get blinded by them.

It's the rings and total yards that people are blown away by. That's what the pro-Eli crowd falls back on in these discussions.

Brad Johnson has a ring and no one is insisting he's some incredibly player. He has two, so I get that, but it isn't just the rings. Big Ben had to put up some ridiculous seasons before his reputation elevated--and he had rings!

2 rings and Super Bowl MVPs definitely elevate Eli's argument in some respects

Rings + Manning + NY media
National talking heads (ESPN, FOX) ive heard mention him as a top 5 QB
