As a Giants' fan I think we can appreciate Eli Manning without comparing him to his brother.

I think so.  But the non-giants fans believe Eli is overrated.

I think that argument depends on what you're rating.

Whatever you might have done last night I hope you found it worthwhile and or enjoyable.

You missed an epic 80-minute battle and an all-time classic CFBW. Things looked dire for the hometown defenders of humanity as it looked like the Night King was all but assured of scoring a decisive and crushing victory. His relentless ground game together with an aerial attack shredded the Targ-Stark defense, and led him to 1st and Bran, and all but ready to snatch and crush mankind.

But in an unexpected development, the north pick-6ed the Night-King for the win.

Perhaps the greatest swing in win probability since Malcolm Butler's picked Russell Wilson.

I'm pretty sure kid had the White Walkers and the over.

"Game of Thrones" creator George R.R. Martin is UNLOADING on the New York Giants ... blasting the team for taking relatively unknown Duke QB Daniel Jones.

Martin -- the brain behind 'GoT' -- happens to be a HUGE fan of the New York football teams ... and like so many other G-Men fans, he's distraught over this weekend's draft.

"Daniel Jones from Duke at number six?" Martin wrote on his website ... "Yes, they need a young quarterback to groom as Eli’s successor. But Dwayne Haskins was right there. Why not him?"

George R.R. Martin went to Northwestern.  He likely thinks Thorson would have been a better pick.

When NK just casually walked up to the 1 yd line all cool and Oberin-like with his linemen distracted it gave the free safety just the opening needed.

Eli got to the playoffs, based on what you posted, 6 times in 12 seasons.
Peyton got to the playoffs 15 times in 17 seasons.

I think Eli is overrated.

Opie's HoF credentials consist of 2 good 4th qtrs in the SB, and his ability to avoid injury. He played a lot of games, and he has been a beneficiary of inflated passing stats due to changes in the game.

He'll probably get in to Canton, but IMO he was at best, on average a 10-12th ranked QB (top 1/3) annually for the first part of his career, and pretty average for the past several years. IMO he was good/a little above average, but nowhere near a HoF QB.

I haven't checked his stats in awhile, but IIRC the only annual stat he led the league in was interceptions, which he did 3-times.

I actually don't see/hear Eli "rated" very often.  Thus tough for him to be OVER or UNDER.
