I’m sold. When I saw this on the top of Rotoworld.com, I was shocked. In a season where the Giants are an underwhelming 7-6, aren’t the Eli haters supposed to be coming out of the woodwork? The contract is too big. He’ll never be Peyton. Damn that “Aw shucks” attitude.

However, here is a mainstream columnist for NBC Sports telling us that Eli is underrated and doing it so beautifully. He touches on most of the points that I have been making for a while, but here’s my favorite paragraph in the whole column.

He’ll never be viewed as being as good as Peyton. But there shouldn’t be any more shame to that than there is to being judged not quite as good an artist as Michelangelo or not as incisive a thinker as Stephen Hawking.

It’s so true. I have never understood that argument whatsoever. You aren’t as good as the best quarterback ever to play the game! Damn You!

Anyway, it’s worth a read because it raises some good points about how stupid the remaining Eli-hatred is out there. He’s having his best year and doing it without the receiver that he supposedly relied on too much.

And if the Giants make the playoffs, I think I’m ready to anoint Eli the best quarterback in Giants history in year number five.
