Tom Brady\u2019s place among the elite quarterbacks in history is cemented.\u00a0 We know that, but Eli Manning has been a major question since his first Super Bowl Victory.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There is no question now.\u00a0 Manning joins a group of five players, including Terry Bradshaw, Bart Starr, Tom Brady, and Joe Montana, who have won multiple Super Bowl MVP awards.\u00a0 This group includes a total of 13 Super Bowl championships alongside Starr\u2019s five NFL championships won before the merger.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The group combines for 160,816 passing yards and 1,122 passing touchdowns.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The best comparison can be made with Tom Brady and Eli Manning.\u00a0 There is no doubt that Brady is the elite quarterback of this generation.\u00a0 When deciding whether Manning is elite or not, there is no better example than Tom Brady.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Start with career stats.\u00a0 Brady has thrown for 39, 979 yards and 300 touchdowns in 12 seasons. Manning has thrown for 27, 529 yards and 185 touchdowns in eight seasons.\u00a0 That\u2019s an average of 3,331 yards and 25 touchdowns per season for Brady and 3,441 yards and 23 touchdowns per season for Manning.\u00a0
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Brady has won one more Super Bowl than Manning, but consider this.\u00a0 Manning beat Brady for both of his rings, but that\u2019s another story.\u00a0 The question here is whether Manning is an Elite quarterback.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With two Lombardi Trophies, two Super Bowl rings, and two sets of corvette keys, Eli Manning makes a great case for himself.<\/p>\n
