Romo also has just one season with more than 15 interceptions. Manning has a whopping four! Romo is mobile, something that Manning is not. Romo can escape pressure, makes plays happen with his feet and creates something out of nothing. Manning doesn't. For as much heat as Romo takes for being turnover prone, he's nowhere near an interception per game for his career. The other major knock on Romo is his ability to win big games. He is just in five career playoff games, he has won a playoff game in just as many seasons as Manning: One.
That's asinine analysis, but it proves a point. Sort of. Matt Ryan has been in the league for just three seasons, but he has already vaulted his way into the top 10 of NFL quarterbacks.
Ryan, like Romo, has never won a playoff game But since when did playoff wins become the ONLY stat to compare quarterbacks by? The only reason Manning makes the top 10 is because he won a Super Bowl. Otherwise, there are multiple other NFL quarterbacks I would put ahead of him. It's his only claim to elite status, because the stats fail to back up that claim.
Ryan has increased his touchdown total by six every season, from 16 to 22 to 28 and he threw just nine interceptions this year. He could legitimately reach 30 passing touchdowns this season, something Manning didn't do until last season, his seventh in the league. Vick is arguably the NFL's most talented quarterback, but unfortunately it took a two-year jail stint for him to develop the work ethic to make him elite.
Yes, that's the first time I've used the word "elite" in this slideshow because I think there are seven quarterbacks who deserve that moniker. Matt Ryan has that potential, but he's not there just yet. Many people would argue that Vick deserves to be higher on this list, but it's difficult for me to put a player with such an incomplete body of work in the top five. Manning threw his 2,th completion Oct. Manning threw his 3,th completion Sept. Manning threw his 4,th completion Dec.
Total: sacks 2, yards. Giants Stadium: plus as visitor. MetLife Stadium: plus as visitor. Manning played in 39 different stadiums, including two in England Wembley and Twickenham. His postseason completions went to 30 different receivers.

Got it! Unlike his brother Peyton, who became an all-time legend by excelling in basically the same categories as other great QBs did, Eli did it his own way, as always. Although his yearly efficiency marks have — somewhat surprisingly — not bounced around too much more than those of his peers, Manning has compounded his regular-season performances with playoff numbers that have been all over the place.
When he was leading the Giants to a pair of Super Bowl victories after the and seasons, Manning went a perfect by definition with a passer rating In all of his other postseason appearances combined, he went with a rating For such an average quarterback, Manning became a much more extreme version of himself in the playoffs — which worked wonders twice and failed badly on four other occasions.
Now, you might expect most Super Bowl-winning QBs to have such a split; after all, the team is also much more likely to win when its starting QB plays better. But even relative to other multi-time Super Bowl winners , Manning stands out.
Manning is tied for 23rd in NFL history in games started at any position and had the second-longest consecutive QB starts streak ever going until , when former N. Manning is — once again — so different from his peers on the quarterback durability list. Among the top 10 in wins, every QB had a career passing index 1 of at least ; all but two Brett Favre and John Elway have an index of at least Bradshaw and Montana also crack He has been sacked on only 4.
To some extent, all of his other metrics understate how good Manning has been due to his great sack rate. Net Yards per Attempt : This, of course, is yards per attempt but including sack data. Manning has averaged 6. So Manning has been slightly above-average in terms of moving the ball down the field. Adjusted Net Yards per Attempt : This is our top non-proprietary measure of passing efficiency.
Manning has averaged 5. The league as a whole has averaged 5. That said, Manning being just barely above-average here is the most damning evaluation of his career. We have individual sack data going back to , and there are 18 quarterbacks if you include Brees, Brady, Peyton, Rodgers, and Roethlisberger who entered the NFL since and are Hall of Famers.
Here is how those quarterbacks, and Manning, fare in Adjusted Net Yards per Attempt relative to league average, through If you want to argue that being the quarterback for two Super Bowl winning teams means that Manning was a great quarterback, that is an opinion that well, you are entitled to, too. But if you want to argue that Manning was a Hall of Fame caliber — or even great — regular season quarterback because he ranks in the top 10 in passing yards and passing touchdowns, well, that one is not an opinion you can hold.
But in terms of how he played during the regular season, he never was a top-3 regular season quarterback: he was above average for a few years, around average for a bunch of years, and below average for a few years.
