I think he's vastly overrated. He's riding the coattails of the Manning name as hard as anyone's rode a last name that I can remember. His stats have been mediocre over his career. His teams are usually average at best for that reason. He throw's too many INT's (more-so of late). He fumbles a lot too.

Sure, he's a Super Bowl winner. But that team won a championship largely in spite of his performances. Sure, he had the big play(s) to Tyree and the game winner (on a busted coverage) to Burress. But that team won because of their defense keeping them in, and leading them to, most of their wins.

Wow.... You didn't watch any of that NFL Playoffs did you? Mind you all of these games were on the road...
Vs. Tampa 20-27 185 yds 2 TDs 0 INTs (Out of 57 offensive plays)
Vs. Dallas 12-18 163 yds 2 TDs 0 INTs (Out of 41 offensive plays)
Vs. Green Bay 21-40 251 yds 0 TDS 0 INTs (Out of 79 offensive plays)
Vs. NE 19-34 255 yds 2 TDs 1 INTs (Out of 60 offensive plays)

This shows a team that relied on a QB to make plays over half the game. Eli did that and more. He is the reason they won a Super Bowl that year. If you watched the games and saw the throws he was making, he was FLAWLESS. I had never seen another QB take a team on his shoulders like that until Rodgers last year.

Also, at this point in his career, his numbers are similar to Elway, Aikman, Brady, and McNair. Not bad QB company. His INTs definitely need to go down, but remember, he's in a blitz heavy division with the Eagles, Cowboys, and Redskins. So mistakes are common, especially throwing in those Jersey winds.
