Darnold had Allen beat had it not been for the Jet kicker leaving 5 pts off the board. As for your second point,I agree, but this is related to the new QB's.
It amazes me how many G fans turned on Eli - a first-round Hall-of-Famer. Anyone protected by that O-line is in trouble.
I’m a life long Giant fan and Love Eli to death for the two Super Bowls along with Phil Simms; but just saying.
The verdict
On Feb. 3, 2008, and Feb. 5, 2012, Eli Manning was the best quarterback in the world. For nearly all of the other 244 football Sundays since his career began he not only wasn’t the best QB in the world he was remarkably average.
He has a .500 career record, and in 12 of the 14 seasons he was a full-time starter the Giants failed to win a playoff game.
Even Manning’s Super Bowl performances weren’t off the charts.
In the first one — after the 2007 season — he had a modest passer rating of 82.5, which is 13th-worst of any winning quarterback in Super Bowl history, and he put up just 17 points. In the other, he was very good but still only threw one TD pass.
A lot of people will tell you when talking about Manning that he doesn’t belong in the Hall of Fame, he should be in the Hall of Very Good.
Honestly, I’m not so sure he belongs in that one either.
