Is Eli Manning a Hall of Famer? 

When you realize that Eli Manning and Odell went to the same high school

I just realized that the Manning brothers are the only reason Tom Brady doesn’t have 11 rings... (Edit) Holy hell the likes are crazy and so are the replies. (Edit 2) I’m getting a lot of replies that seem to not understand that I was making a joke for COMEDY. I know Joe Flacco and Nick Foles did it as well.

Eli's throw down the sideline to Mario Manningham is one of the greatest throws of all time.

The thing that made Eli special was his ability to be awful for the first three quarters and be magic in the 4th

“Every once in a while it never hurts to put down the pitch forks and appreciate why exactly we’re having this debt in the first place” As I’ve gotten older I’ve realized professional sports are just really good reality TV. I still love them but it’s really not that serious

Eli's got a special place in the heart of every Giants fan

Every Eli stat has an asterisk beside it that says "without the aid of an offensive line."

Eli Manning: 2-0 against Tom Brady in Super Bowls. Patrick Mahomes: 0-2 against Brady in the playoffs. I'll let you decide.

If you were to put NFL QBs on an alignment chart he'd be the definition of choatic good. A great guy beloved by fans with 2 superbowls by upsetting Tom Brady and the Pats, but also leading the lead in picks 3 times, missed the playoffs more than he's made them, and a .500 career record.

one of my favorite SNL skits is eli manning’s courtroom sext defense lmao. KEWL.

No matter what, he will live on as the Legend who stopped Tom Brady twice in the SB.

I believe he will get into the hall, the rings, the stats, the starting streak, and I believe there were a lot of awards off the field that he got, he is also just very classy and respectable.

"E-Laisha Nelson Manning" - Set The Edge 2020

I personally believe Eli Manning should definitely be inducted into the hall of fame, even though I’m a pats fan. His stats are among top 15-10 in quarterbacks of all time, and he has been able to prove time and time again that he can lead a team even when there is so much lacking talent around him. What really ended his career for him was the giants offensive line in my opinion.

You can’t tell the history of the NFL without Eli Manning. This reason alone makes him a Hall of Famer.

“To be the best, you have to beat the best.” I mean, Eli did beat the best. . . TWICE.

I think Eli Manning is going to have the same thing happen to him as Ben Roethlisberger. It doesn't matter if their skill says they should or shouldn't be in the HOF, they're going to be added because of superbowl wins and popularity alone

If Joe Namath is in the HOF then Eli Manning deserves it as well, PERIOD.

Yes, as a Packers fan I KNOW how good he can be come playoff time.

A minute old set the edge? Wowza I'm early. And I wanted to sleep at 6:21 am.. why must you tempt me you devil??

Eli is a legend, man! 4th Quarter assassin, 2x Super Bowl MVP (defeated a dynasty twice), the iron man streak... First ballot, man. No question!!! The drive with the Tyree helmet catch was the greatest game winning drive I've ever seen!

"Manning is a great guy on and off the field." *The Chargers would like to have a word with you.*

Me, literallywearing an Eli Manning jersey as I watch this: Well, I certainly think so.

I’m a Giants fan through and through, personally I believe Eli will be in the HOF, however I don’t think he is first ballot depending on who else is on the ticket at the time of his ELIgibility. (Yeah, bad joke). truly it was amazing to watch the Giants for the last 13 years and strive with that garbage excuse of an o-line.

Not gonna lie, your voice made me watch a most of the ad without me even noticing

I think longevity is something that can be measured to tell how good a player is. It’s literally how they measure most Offesnive linemen

You QB 2 teams that beat the Brady/Belichick Patriots in 2 Super Bowls, including preventing 1 of those Patriots teams from going undefeated....Hall of Fame access: Granted

He was good even with some horrible teams around him

Another fantastic video! Keep it up my guy!

With every new video you make, I enjoy them more and more. Can't wait to see how you keep making these videos better and better! Keep it up!

Man I feel like Eli’s final like 7 years were wasted because of coaching or talent, with exception of that time they made the wildcard

Hey STE... You make good videos. Thanks for that!

Finally he's back I've been waiting for so long!

Eli is 1 of 12 quarterbacks to win multiple Super Bowls 2. Number 5 in multiple Super Bowls MVP’s 2. Top ten yardages and touchdowns at the time of his retirement. Something that Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers Brett Favre couldn’t do. Yes Eli is a resounding hall of famer and was elite at the position.

Great video!

another good upload!

The giants failed him :( but he’ll always be my goat 🤝

Great vid😁

Troy Aikmen is in the hall of fame for handing the ball off to emmit smith

Now this was a good ass video. I'm team for but this helped me see the team against much better. I also agree that he will be in the hof at some point, pretty much guaranteed (not first ballot probably). I need more of these videos in my life. Every week, not every month. I'll go through football withdrawls without set the edge educating me on things I didn't even know I agree with. Keep it up so I can keep coming back.

10:01 Wooooooooooooooooo I would fumble that ball too if that's what I look like after the hit

longevity, four pro bowls, 2x Superbowl MVP, Beat the most dominate team in NFL history TWICE in the Superbowl, Beat Arguably the GOAT TWICE in the Superbowl, Beat Arguably Greatest coach of all time. One of two players on those SB teams that's going to the hall so they weren't loaded with HOF'ers. One of 5 QBs in the HOF with 2 Super Bowl MVPs.He is the only QB in NFL history to beat 2 teams with 15 or more wins in the playoffs. Had to beat the top QB's of his era to win those super bowls: Ryan, Favre, Rogers both at Lambo and Brady twice. The record for most passing yards in a single playoff run. He played his whole career without a #1 WR, TE or a Dominate RB yet he's 7th all time in stats.

There are people who don’t deserve to be in the hall of game but are, and there are people who deserve to be there that aren’t. All I know is Eli is part of one of my core early NFL memories. That moment where he somehow escaped a crowd and tossed up a hope and a prayer to David Tyree is an immortal memory for me. I was a pretty new NFL fan at the time and I just couldn’t believe it.

Though eli doesn't have the stats, he brought a presence to the field that only Tom Brady and Joe Montana brought, confidence. They believed they could win every snap every drive and every game. That presence alone is way more than enough to get into the hall of fame

Oh? A Dark Souls reference in a sports video? I love it.

Big time appreciate the ringing of the Bell of Awakening as a fan of both sports and video games.

An old friend of mine said the greatest game he's ever seen was the Green Bay playoff win (against Favre ) to get the Giants to that first SB win against the Pats. I don't know if I'd agree, but I'm not arguing against it. And he took out the 15-1 Aaron Rodgers-led Pack too. Both games at GB. I personally thought the year after they beat the Pats the first time, they had a chance to repeat , until Plaxico's gun got in the way. Eli's not a first-ballot HOF'er like his brother, but will definitely get in. I gotta say some of those last few years, I've never seen an offensive line that bad, and I've watched a lot of football.

Idk what y'all think Eli Manning had a couple more good years left in him.

Imagine if Eli and Payton were a combined player. The regular season stats of Payton and the clutch/playoff stats pf Eli. Would be Tom Brady on steriods

Subscribed boi 💪💪

If Terrell Davis is in the NFL Hall of Fame, ELI Manning definitely deserves to be in there.

I wish the NFL HOF was as selective as the Baseball HOF

It’s laughable to say he doesn’t belong, he’s got the accolades and the all time numbers to be in the hof While his .500 career might look bad, you can’t put that all on a player, manning and Brady have always had amazing teams, then you look at the giants, they’ve not been on the level of those other 2. All I’m gonna say is that those losses aren’t always going to just be on Eli

Its pretty crazy that this should have to be a discussion

Favorite player, favorite channel.

Two words, one name ... *Joe Namath.* And there you have ‘my’ response to that very question.

Dude. He's one of the most underrated QBs of all timeee. Everything with Plaxico, Tiki, Cruz, Shockey, Jpp and bad drafting/management. He made people household names that should be in the XFL... Plax for Manningham. Shockey for Kevin Boss. Jpp and Justin Tuck for Snacks. Love Snacks, but damn. I mean when I think of their great lbs in recent history the only name that comes to mind in Antonio Pierce. Last year has probably been their best draft class since like 2010 when they only got jpp and the year before that wasn't good either because they only got Hakeem Knix lol. Knix and Jpp both won a SB.

Tom Brady's congratulatory tweet to Eli when the latter retired was hilarious....you knew Tom was being sincere but you can still sense the bitterness.

How many Hall of Famer‘s has Eli ever played with though

0:33 when I poop my self in class

My case for Eli: Brett Favre is in the hall of fame. He threw a ton of interceptions. Eli may have thrown a bunch of interceptions but stats aren’t everything. His legacy will live on forever, not only because of the manning name but also because he has 2 rings by beating Tom Brady as an underdog twice. Eli manning IS a hall-of-fame QB.

I was strongly leaning yes, but you've convinced me that if he does get in, it shouldn't be for like a decade after he becomes eligible. He had a very Jack Morris-type career, and he should have a similarly long wait.

Great video, interesting to hear your perspective on what makes some one actually worthy of the hall of fame. Since this is his first ballot year(I think), do you think Calvin Johnson deserves to be in the hall?

About the facial expressions. It was the funniest thing to watch him watching Peyton win Superbowl #2

Is Eli Manning a hall of famer? Is the sky blue?

I think the value of someone’s career, in retrospect, is in there highs. Most importantly if those highs were enough, for you, to overcome some of their short comings. Eli didn’t have the best career of all time, but he did outplay Brady in what was my favorite Super Bowl I’ve ever seen (07). I’d put him in. Maybe not 1st ballot, but he’s in there.

So are we just gonna overlook the fact that Eli carried a 27th ranked defense and worst run offense to a super bowl?

He wins a 3rd ring if his best player doesn't shoot himself.

yes!

I agree 100%. Well argued, well done!!

This was very well done. I can tell you that he does own a couple of NFL records from his incredible 2011 season. He also won a slew of awards, but I get your point. The biggest knock on him is consistency. He was consistently middle-of-the-road in his statistics for the most part. I think he will make it someday, certainly not close to 1st ballot though.

Eli Will make it 10 years from now 110th NFL Season calling it

Are we really still talking about this?

Honestly I don’t think anyone else could’ve survived with the abysmal o-line and defensive play for the last 8 years. Eli always took a hit to make the right play, and he would get up right after and continue on. I like Danny dimes but it’s apparent that Eli was the only one who could take the hit on every play and continue like it’s nothing.

People keep forgetting how bad the Giants offense AND defense were in his last bunch of years. Also, how many games did the Giants lose on last minute, final drives of the opponent, and how many games did they lose on last second game losing field goals? Those losses ALL go on Eli Manning's W-L record. It was astounding how many games they were winning when the defense crumbled. It happened so often, we as fans, expected it to happen EVERY week. "Lets watch to see how the D falls apart and they lose." I think he should be in, but I'm not saying he's the best ever. He does deserve the recognition, however.

Yes. His impact on the game is bigger then most hall of famers, as well as being a damn good QB.

I think he is a HoF no doubt, I'm not going to judge his entire career off his last 2-3 seasons.

You do fine work kind sir. Fine work!

10:02 I think I would lose the ball if I looked like that 😂

You can’t tell the story of the NFL without Eli Manning. He beat the GOAT twice on the biggest stage in almost any sport.

2 Time Superbowl MVP, beat the greatest Quarterback of all time twice in the biggest game in the sport. Has the record for the most playoff passing yards in 2011. Yeah he deserves it 100%. Maybe not first ballot but no way he stays out. Not a great record for interceptions, but American Football is a game of moments and he has had some HOF moments.

I’m still baffled that Namath is in but not Plunkett or Morrall...Eli should get in too!

16 year career, 60.4 % completion percentage, 57k yards, 2-time SB Champion, 2-time SB MVP, 366 TDs, 84.1 QBR. Screams first ballot HOF to me.

It’s a really simple (YES) to me

Yes he belongs in the Hall of fame he’s top ten in everything (top ten in passing yards)(top ten in passing touchdowns) and passed some of the qb in the hall of fame so yes he is oh and also he’s a 2x super bowl champion and 2x super bowl mvp if that’s not a hall of fame then there’s something wrong

I really don’t know why this is an argument…Yes

But a great video!

ELI MANNING IS NOT A HALL OF FAMER MY CAPS LOCK KEY IS BROKEN

But the thing is, Eli still has top 10 stats in every category, and if you look at the other Qb's in the top 10 stats, you will see that they're all in the hall of fame/going to be. So as it to say, Eli is a future Hall of famer. Also, Joe Namath had way worst stats than Eli and still made it, so did unitas

Okay that Nick Foles thing was outlandish

No, Eli was not dominant. But he WAS iconic. It's the Hall of Fame, not the Hall of stats, even more than in baseball. He also had the misfortune to play in an era with other QBs that have some of the most dominant stats of all time. And he still holds his own in a few of those categories(yards, TDs, comeback wins, post-season performance), even if his interceptions, completion percentage and W-L record are not all that impressive. Overall, his story and legend put him in, to me. And man, he threw a really beautiful long ball!

I think Eli was a good quarterback with 2 great moments. His stats say he was good, not great, the eye test says he was good, not great

Short answer: Yes Long answer: Yeeeeeeesssss All joking aside, Eli is a Hall of Famer. You bring up the interceptions, but he's 12th on the all-time list with a 1.5/1 TD/INT ratio. The top 10 on that list (in order) are Brett Favre (with a whopping 336), George Blanda, John Hadl, Vinny Testaverde, Fran Tarkenton, Norm Snead, Johnny Unitas, Dan Marino, Peyton Manning, and Y. A. Tittle. 7 of those players are in the Hall of Fame or are going to be in the Hall of Fame. He also only has one more than Bobby Layne, two more than Dan Fouts, and only 10 more than Warren Moon, all three of whom are in Canton. Not to mention, the talent around him in recent years has degraded, due to shit coaching and even shit GMing and ownership. At least half of those interceptions the years he led the league were balls that were tipped by his receivers or were just dropped. Also, there's the fact that he spent the better part of the last 7 years with an offensive line that seemed to be made out of rice paper, and took an absolute beating behind the line, over his career, so it's only natural he's lost more than a few fumbles (47 Sacks allowed in 2018 w/ 7 FL, 39 in 2013 which was when he threw 27 INTs w/ 7 FL, 31 in 2017 (when the Giants had the worst defense in the league and went 3-13) w/11 FL). It's also worth noting that Eli's weapons outside and in the backfield have had ridiculous amounts of injuries, in addition to a number of them sucking at their job. He's also the *only* QB to ever throw for over 4500 yards and win the SB in the same season (2011). He's the only QB to win only 9 games and win the Super Bowl in the same season. He was one of the two Walter Payton men of the year in 2016, sharing it with Larry Fitz. He still holds the NFL record for most 4th quarter TD passes in a single season, with 15 (2011). He also holds the NFL record for most passing yards in a single postseason, with 1219 (2011). He also has the most consecutive completions to start a SB with 9 (SB XLVI). As you mentioned, he's 3rd All-time in consecutive starts by an NFL QB. He also holds 27 Giants records. In short, Eli's in Canton.

I used to go by the argument that the Hall of Fame should be a very exclusive club and that only the absolute best of the best should be allowed. Although at some point there was a change that mandated a minimum number of people enshrined every year so I feel like that argument is a moot point now. The Hall of Fame has evolved to more of a yearly recognition of notable (but not always transcendent) figures in NFL history, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but it's impossible to make the argument now about exclusivity. If someone has their footprint somewhere in the timeline, then I really don't see why not. The only downside to that is that the HOF is crowded now that even the names enshrined in it can be forgotten.

If Troy Aikman is a hall of famer with those stats and the supporting cast that he had over the years, then Eli is a shoe in.

If there's an argument to you not being in, I don't think you should be in really.

Thank u set the edge❤ I have always said Eli should not be a HOF inductee, for the same reasons you explained in this video. I feel better now, someone agrees with me❤😍

My argument: Joe Namath is in the Hall of Fame with less than ideal statistics. He has 47 more interceptions than touchdowns and a 5.8 interception percentage compared to a 4.6 touchdown percentage. Eli has 122 more touchdowns than interceptions, and a 3.0 interception percentage compared to a 4.5 touchdown percentage. Also, Joe has only one super bowl win, which made his legacy because he guaranteed a win against the Baltimore Colts. Eli single handily led the Giants to two game winning super bowl drives against the New England Patriots, spoiling the perfect season and stopping the Patriots from having a possible 8 super bowls. I believe Eli is a Hall of Fame candidate, while not being a first ballot, but certainly a hall of famer.

You can't mention the 100 years of the NFL with mentioning Eli Manning
