Manning: I'm In Class With Tom Brady

[Coltssouth]

I love Eli but really:

No.

[Nordstrom]

Even Giants fans are lol wut?

[P-Money]

Face palm ... Eli , Eli. Come on bro, come back down to reality.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall when Peyton reads this to witness his reaction! lol

Btw, these two teams play each other in November. Score predictions anyone? I'm gonna say Brady puts up atleast 5 td's!

[Yehoodi]

I like Eli and I am not sure why he would say this . . . maybe a family thing, the Mannings v. Brady point . . . that is, TB is on my level, so therefore PM>TB, or basically my brother is better than TB . . .

I can certainly see Eli saying that someday he could be on TB's level . . .

I think for me, among a few things, TB is prone not to make mistake where Eli, until he improves, is prone to make mistakes, specfically INTs . . . TB last year with just 4 INTs . . . and in the Pats 3 SBs years, TB had the lowest INT/attempt percentages since Bart Starr . . . so just on that level not sure why Eli made his statement . . .

but there is still time for Eli to improve . . .

[Coltssouth]

I think Eli would need to do a lot of improving to be able to make this type of statement.

Sure he's good . . . but not quite in the same class yet.

Major faux pas (embarassing statement) imo.

At first, I thought it was Peyton saying this. I thought "Yeah, he is in the same class as Brady, but it's kind of weird for him to come out and say it". Then I saw it was Eli, all I could think of was "Dude, no"

[ruksak]

I can see it so clearly.

Archie slappin the back of Eli's head.

[CR91]

pretty sure eli was knocking a few before he had this interview

[eaglejoe8]

Eli can be as good as he wants to be, but his costly INTs will always kill him. He's no where near Brady's level right now.

What are their records in head to head playoff competition?

yep..same here.

Me thinks the OP topic title tried to snooker us

[NYColt]

No Eli. Just. No.

[dynasty13]

awe poor Eli...

I wonder what he would have said if the question was asked if he thought he was in the same class as Peyton...

[Thewholefnshow28]

Eli has taken to many hits to the head. rotfl

[12>18]

With the weapons that Eli lost in the off season, and the gross number of picks last year, he shouldn't be comparing himself to anyone just yet. There's only one Manning who can make a statement like that... and Archie retired years ago.

[WisconsinColts]

A conversation I had with my friend today.

Me -"So Eli Manning says he's just as good as Tom Brady."

Friend - "Yea he is...wait. Eli?!?!?"

Me - "I know."

Does this mean Cooper is better than Jerry Rice?

[Manning2Wayne]

Well one is NFC and the other is AFC.....

So 2008 Super Bowl:

Eli 1

Tom 0

alot is being nice lol..He needs years of improvement to even be close

[Andy]

I think Eli is saying this because he beat Brady in the SB.
