ELI MANNING: HALL OF FAMER? 

He’s a Manning who played in country’s biggest media market for over a decade and had two all-time legendary playoff runs. He’s getting in regardless of what we think.

The “Tom Brady drinks his own pee” at the end almost killed me

"A killer touchdown throw from Brady to Aaron Hernandez" lmfao

I would like to bring up that Eli’s 2011 postseason still holds the record for the most passing yards in a single postseason

He should get in just for preventing bradytards from bragging about 19-0

He was an iron man though. Meaning that he always showed up to play. He had a short memory. He would get sacked, then on the very next play he'd convert an impossible 3rd down. The other thing that is overlooked is that he played with the same team his entire career. He's a hall of famer in my book. Plus two rings with wins over the so called goat. Thanks Eli !

I want to see one of these about Donovan Mcnabb since Barry is an eagles fan. I’d love to see how he viewed him as a qb.

Eli should be in just because he ruined the patriots “perfect” season and he was actually decent QB even though he made a lot of bad throws and had a goofy look

It's funny that you would list the 49ers playoff game as lucky. A lot of Eli fanboys like myself would list that as his greatest game. That 49er defense was nasty. Eli was under pressure constantly and managed not to turn it over once. Just for perspective, Eli was pressured approx. the same number of times as Mahomes was in the last Super Bowl against the Bucs. Plus, that defense hit much harder than the Bucs did.

TIME TO WATCH WHILE EATING LUNCH

That killer hernandez line was amazing lmao

Hahahaha let’s go I was expecting a 10 second “no” video again

Cowboys fan here. Eli Manning played in a tough NFC EAST division back then. He benefited from a great Defense very good RBs a Very good coach all ++++++. He was clutch in big moments and NOT INJURY PRONE like Phil Simms. 10 was good enough to beat the GOAT 2 times.

That 2016 season pissed me off cause it felt like common knowledge that New England was gonna be THE Super Bowl favorite for the AFC so I desperately wanted a trilogy between them and the Giants

The things preventing him from playing better was Jerry Reese as a GM and keeping Tom Cloughlin too long he was great for a short stretch and they weren’t going to fire him earlier than they did. I got a feeling he is going to make the hall but I see reasons why people say he doesn’t deserve to be in

I think the fact that Eli did so much with so little says a lot. It’s a team sport not a qb sport. There’s a lot of context that’s left out about the mismanaged roster building of the giants that I believe to be important in making the case for eli

"LITERALLY SHOT HIMSELF IN THE FUCKING LEG" 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

You may be a troll but I won’t lie your in depth football videos are very well done keep the content coming Barry!

All jokes aside, nice to see Barry taking a break from the over the top trolling shtick and doing some serious content. These are really well done content wise with his humor thrown in at the perfect times

A lot of people fail to realize that he didn't only win two super bowl rings but he did it with two totally different teams after he won the first super bowl they traded off all the players and then he had to rebuild chemistry with a whole new team which is one of the reasons why a lot of those intersections that he threw were tipped balls that should have been caught and granted yes any team that wins the sole football always has to have a defense

eli got sacked 6 times and got hit 13 times in that 2011 NFC championship team. against the #1 defense with the dead last offensive line, absolutely his best game of his career.

You can’t spell elite without him 🥳🥳🥵🥵

Barry hear me out: Matt Ryan

Also in that 17-0 pats, SB win that the Giants thankfully won, two plays stick out to me more. The Mario Manningham catch (honestly the Hakeem Nicks before Hakeem Nicks) on the sideline was amazing and that Eli escapes from what I thought was gonna be a sack really changed that game. Great game, great performances, and another reason why I feel Eli is a HOFer.

After watching Daniel jones keep getting injured I have so much respect for Eli’s consecutive starts number. He literally never missed a game due to injury his whole career that’s insane

I'd argue he did a lot more than more dominant offensive teams in his generation. His teams were a lot more like Brady's & that recipe is what lead them to success. What I mean by that is both Brady & Eli did on offense was take unknown talent that fit their schemes & let their GM/HC fit their defense with big DE's & speedy DB's that were good at tackling, & big guys on that were mobile on their O-Line. When they went away from that formula is when they went like 7 years of losing. The fact that he was able to be a top 5 -6 QB in his generation with talent on offense that weren't highly rated is why he's an elite QB & HOF. Brees, Peyton, were over bearing on offense but their defense suffered, arguably the best years of the Saints were with physical defense & the Colts went on a SB run when they got their best tackler back. Ben's best years were with some of the best defensive players ever, after they aged they never saw the same success. Eli was elite with less on his side of the ball, just get him 2 good guards & some good DE's & tacklers to do their part & he'll do his, which is why he's a winner.

He has a few pro bowls and threw almost 400 touchdowns and has Those two rings don’t care if it was the defense but helped them out by being their right Qb especially against the pats thank god Brady don’t have 9 rings I know he has a lot of touchdowns but hey he did what he had to do he deserves to be in ~ Dallas fan

The fact that nobody wants to point out how Eli heroically escaped a sack to get that ball to Tyree for that helmet catch shows how he gets no love for his efforts.

If you did one of these for Brady that went season by season it would help me argue Brady not being the goat to my friends

Eli Manning is basically joe flacco but played much longer

Love your in depth breakdowns. I have some possible video suggestions if you are ever up for it. “What went wrong in the Matthew Stafford era in Detroit” “Is Matt Ryan a hall of famer” “Troy Aikman: legit good or game manager”

The 49er game wasn't the greatest but it displayed his resilience while being under pressure a ton against a number 1 defense in a muddy day. Its not like he had a number 1 offense that day.

Manning deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. He was not the most consistent player, but he pushed hard and persevered when it mattered most. A 2 time super bowl champion and MVP is more than an average quarterback.

He deserves to be in. He’s a 2 time Super Bowl champion and is in the top 10 in almost every important statistical category for a quarterback. He had some amazing highs in his career. Sure, he had some lows, but everyone does. Brett Favre is considered to be one of the greatest quarterbacks ever and has the most career interceptions of any quarterback. Joe Namath threw more interceptions than touchdowns in his career and is in the hall of fame. Eli deserves to be a first ballot hall of famer, and he has the statistics and the success to prove it.

i feel like the collapsing pocket, and the amount of hits eli takes in this video speaks volumes to what could have been had the front office gotten him a elite oline like brady had

Without eli and the 2017 eagles brady would have 10 rings so not all hero’s wear capes some wear ten on the giants But if you ask a pats fans or Brady fans then hero’s wear black and white stripes

Thank you for this video Barry, I love your videos very informative. You’re not like those so called “analyst” who only just look at stats and rings.

Aaron Hernandez line was hilariously genius!

It would be cool to see one of these on Michael Vick. I mean he did play for the eagles, so I don't see why not.

He's Brady's kryptonite. That in itself is 1st-ballot.

Can we get a cunningham version of this?

I would love to see you do a video like this for a few of the older QB's who some say have been overlooked. Ken Anderson, Roman Gabriel and Jim Hart come to mind. What does everyone else think?

I love how for other qbs he will give them excuses like front office but eli doesnt get that intresting and he is also a philly fan VERY INTRESTING

lmao cooper got the ad before the video 🤣🤣🤣

Fuck no. He was Joe Flacco before Joe Flacco. A throughly mediocre QB who had two out of body playoff experiences that were on the back of legendary defensive performances. Not to mention he got those token starts in 2019 to get his career winning record back to a perfectly fitting 118-118.

Very fair assessment, but I think the quality of the teams around him especially during the later years was overlooked.

5:33 “And then the flip switched” lmao but still a great video

No playoff wins when his opponent scored more than 20 points. Wow.

5:34 but then the flip switched 😂

Eli is my homeboy...he deserves a whole floor in the HOF

Thanks for doing a in depth breakdown this time Barry

"But then the flip switched" i had a good giggle

Giants fan who followed his entire career very closely. You're dead on dude. I agree with everything. I like Eli, I think he's a great story winning those 2 Super Bowls but I would not say he deserved to win 2 rings, I feel like he kind of stole them by peaking at the right times rather than by being consistent. The numbers do not bear out a hall of fame case for him and you made that clear. Well done.

Thought it was the short video again haha

I really like the depth of your research, I respect the effort. He may very well make the Hall of Fame but you are absolutely right he does not belong there, not even close but worse quarterbacks have made it, well at least one. More about that later. I just finished writing a book entitled "the first scientific study of the greatest quarterbacks of all time". I analyze 16 different categories and compare most of them to the average quarterback of the era that the QB in question played in. Then compare the percentage of difference to all the other greats. I did not originally include Eli but analyzed him as an afterthought due to his career totals. His totals are high because of the era that he played in and because he played longer than most. When I added him to the original 28 quarterbacks that I studied he ranks 28th or 29th in 4 of the 16 categories. He was only above average among the 29 in strength of schedule coming in at 14th. But of course he has no control over that it is included as a statistical adjustment for the other categories. All other categories he comes in between 19th and 27th. Just so you have some gauges the GOAT scored 716.7 points while the hypothetical perfectly average quarterback from any era scored 258.5. Eli scored 248.3 while his brother, who comes in as the second greatest quarterback of all time scored 684. As for the worst quarterback in the Hall of Fame with a score of 237.8 that would be Troy Aikman. In the Cowboys successful years they were carried by a top 5 defense and running game. When those parts of the team were just above average the Cowboys could not win.

This voice at times sounds like Bob Saget when he narrated How I Met Your Mother. I just keep laughing imagining older Ted going “Kids…I know I keep talking about mom but I seriously need to tell y’all about Eli Manning”

I mean he beat the Patriots twice (with Brady), both times as underdogs in the SuperBowls and one of those times against an undefeated Pats team with the greatest helmet catch ever. He’s getting in.

As a patriots fan I think he’s done enough

IMO he deserves it I wasn’t very fond of Eli but he did do his part in key moments to win 2 Super Bowls and he did have some good seasons he was a true iron man stayed healthy and was a gamer

Do one on Brett Favre next, the gunslinger and DickPicksender should’ve had a couple rings on those amazing packers teams🤦🏾‍♂️

I hope someday you make a video about Matt Ryan or Ben Roethlisberger

Yes I think Eli will make the Hof but not on his first or even second ballet. He won two Superbowls,played his entire career in NY.

Giants fan here. Eli was inconsistent but he also had a suspect line and terrible defense at times. When he had the weapons around him (Nicks, Cruz, Manningham) he was really good. A QB is only as good as his weapons and protection. He didnt jave the luxury of playing in a dome with perfect blocking like his brother. He's a 2x SB MVP and with that he'll get in.

When you utilize just stats without discussing some of the issues with the offense. After the great 2 1,000 yd rb season the giants had a weak run game and a far below average OL that continues till this day. The Defense blew a lot of games. And K.G.'s offense was very complex with option routes and A LOT OF HIS INT'S were a direct result of the wr's running the wrong route. Each season the team had less talent each year (see Reese) Mind you if Plax doesn't ruin that season the Giants had a really great chance of repeating, as they were the best team that year till the incident, remember there was a cloud hovering over them as the authorities were contemplating charging Pierce as well...it was that that sunk them.

I’d love to see a video on Ryan Fitzpatrick. He’s had an interesting career to say the least

No! He wasn’t a dominant quarterback that put fear into opponents. He wasn’t one who was amongst the elite quarterbacks in the league. Eli was a good QB, but there is no justification for him to get in other than an outright bias because he played for the Giants. If he had played for the Eagles, then he would not go in.

I'm glad you did this but I loved you 6 second video about it.

Every Winning QB from Super Bowl's I thru XIV are in the Hall of Fame. If Bob Griese and Len Dawson are in the HOF, you easily put Eli Manning in the HOF. •117-117 •2 Super Bowls •2 Super Bowl MVPs •#8 All-Time Passing Yards •#9 All-Time Pass TDs •16 years with the same team I wouldn't select him as a First Ballot HOF, but would have him sweat it out a few years - like Kurt Warner.

Ayy thanks for doing Eli, Mike Vick next?

17:21 McCockiner hates Brady so much! 😂

Bruh “a KILLER touchdown throw from Brady to Arron Hernandez” 17:00 😂😂

I literally just got an ad with cooper manning in it before this video

@15:42 *You had ONE job!*

He’s literally a .500 QB. 2 SB on the backs of defenses. Not a HOF

Tbf a lot of those picks from about 2012-2017 were picks via receivers. I can’t tell you how many times I yelled at the tv for receivers like Ruben randle swatting the ball upwards lol. In anycase I hope my boy gets in.

I feel like he had anxiety so when in the biggest moments, for fear of messing up he would totally shine

As a fellow eagle fan please make one of these on mcnabb

Early in his career he won those 2 Super Bowls once against an undefeated team witch is impressive but it’s hard to say because later in to his career he looked like A backup quarterback who hasn’t started since his sign ngl… but if he can come into a freezing cold temperature and beat my packers 😭 and beat a highly favorable patriots team that was undefeated and had randy moss then I’d say his chances are pretty good (my opinion)

This shouldn't even be a conversation. Eli ticks all of the boxes: Longevity, Statistics, Championships. And I'm a Cowboy fan.

For a minute there I thought this was a Jimmy G video 🤣

YES you cannot tell the story of the NFL without him. PERIOD

Anyone who takes 2 Rings off Brady's fingers is cool with me.

What's wrong with first video Barry posted, I thought it was perfect and to the point.

I have no issue with Eli in the HOF, however, just don't give him extra credit for beating Brady twice in Super Bowls. He won 2 Super Bowls and that entails a lot of things besides the actual Super Bowl games and he didn't beat Brady, his defense did and he took advantage of that with two game winning drives with some big throws. Nick Foles also "Beat Brady" in a Super Bowl and maybe more so because he put up a lot more points than Eli's 17 and 21. Of course I'm not saying Nick is HOF if Eli is, because obviously Eli had a great overall career, but my point is that beating NE in the SB is not impossible and had Atl not refused to burn clock and Seattle not thrown on 2nd and goal, they would have done it too

you fail to mention the shit offensive lines he played for

i was an eli fan myself i felt like he deserve some credit i like the dude cause he upset 2 times the most overrated player in all of the sports, i thought he deserved the HOF but sometimes you need to check, with this in mind its safe that he made himself a name by being A manning

Me when I first read the title of this video NOOOOO

He's a HOF. He never had a plethora of offensive weapons at his disposal. NY Giants, overall, were exciting to watch. Never perfect, but he did hold a top 10 passing yards single season.... for a little bit. Had several TD and individual game and season accolades/records. Rings do matter. Everyone knows that. Eli and Coughlin had a team plan. Strahan at first was the main piece, with a clean physical offense...then other key defensive players... had to be paid most of the time. Always good to keep the D in place back then. Manning only had more than one A+ weapon at wideout...just ONE TIME. Usually just one good WR and a RB. Good defense. Decent O line. Beat the Pats, including the touting of the would be... undefeated season. I liked watching him.

You speak about context but fail to mention these things… -the Giants in the 2011 regular season had the 31st ranked offensive line & a bottom 5 defense. YES the defense turned it on in the playoffs, but there was a regular season before that -Post 2011, the Giants never gave Eli the support QBs like Peyton, Tom, Drew Brees, etc had, it was all on his shoulders. No running game for years, practice squad wrs due to injury of Nicks & Cruz until Odell came in 2014.. and he was still throwing to garbage. Preston Parker, Jarrell Jerrigan.. you know any of these guys? don’t think so. -2016 his last great year, the offense was dink and dunk and hope Odell breaks the game open due to not being able to run the ball and pass block for more than 2 seconds. Nobody called Eli elite but given some of the circumstances he was dealt, he’s giving a lot of shit for some things that was out of his control. If you really dig deep into it, post 2011; the Giants failed Eli. Terry Bradshaw threw 6 touchdowns to 24 interceptions as a rookie, finished with 212-210, no one considers him a top 10 QB all time, but he’s in the hall of fame. Joe Nameth is literally in the hall of fame because he said he was gonna win a super bowl, won that super bowl 16-7.. also finished his career with 47 more interceptions than touchdowns, hall of famer! Eli beat Matt Ryan, Tony Romo, Brett Farve, Aaron Rodgers, Alex Smith, Tom Brady 2x.. that’s 3 of the top 10 QBs of all time, a fringe hall of famer in Matt Ryan, and two very solid QBs in Romo & Smith. Eli deserves and will be in the hall of fame, he was never the best QB, but he was far from the worse. You can make a case that in 2007 he was carried by the defense. but in 2011, without Eli & the WRs, that Giants team would’ve been picking top 10. he will be in Canton and it will be first ballot.

I expected this to be 5 seconds longer than the last one In all honesty, to both Eli supporters and those who want to spite brady in any way possible, he's hall of fame in our hearts.

Rivers also threw 20 INTs three times and lead the league in a 4th season with 18, and gagged up almost every single real opportunity to win that he ever had, and he’ll have no problem getting in whatsoever

What music do U use ?

YESS!! WAS WAITING ON THIS! Had a big ass debate about this the other say

Eli will always be a Hall-of-Famer in my heart for beating Brady twice in the Superbowl.

Barry you’re literally my idol

“but then the flip switched” 😂

Is this really a question? Yes, he is a HoF without a doubt. I'm a Cowboys fan

Keep them coming Barryyyyy

I 100% agree with you and have been saying similar things for years. Thank you for the video.

Great Job Once Again Barry, Now I Need A Career Breakdown On Famous Women Repector Big Ben Lol
