Eli Manning: Top 5 Quarterback in 2008.

It would have been a stretch to say that during the 2007-2008 NFL season that Eli Manning was a top 15 quarterback, let alone top 5.

However, that Eli Manning was not this Eli Manning....


The Super Bowl Most Valuable Player.

I don't think that you can really look past the MVP of the Super Bowl. Eli Manning's memories from this season aren't the 0-2 start which almost took his coach's job, or the callings of bust. His memory is the final (game-winning) drive he engineered in the Game of all Games: the Super Bowl.

He remembers a drive where he did nothing wrong, eluding tacklers, throwing up the most unlikely of all passes. for huge gains, capped off by a Plaxico Burress touchdown catch.

This is why I am not afraid to make this prediction, that Eli will be amongst the upper echelon quarterbacks in 2008. Tom Brady.. Peyton Manning.. Brett Favre. Tony Romo..Eli Manning.
