I think he's a distant third to those two. They dominated, won heismans, and won championships.

Curious as to why you think he deserves to be over two QB's that won championships.

Waiting.

This is the same site that when they ranked the SEC coaches had Gus ahead of Saban and Vandy's coach who has never won an SEC game, ahead of Miles and Richt.

So Joe Namath was better than Dan Marino in the NFL because Joe won a ring? Please...Florida and Alabama's defense won those rings.

Bonus: McCarron isn't going to make it through preseason in his rookie season and Chris Leak is already a WR(that stands for wide receiver, not quarterback) coach in college, while Eli has two rings. Guess we saw what happened when the QB's were put on an even playing field.

I disagree because I feel that Leak didn't take care of the football well enough and wasn't as accurate.

Manning award winner J.R.'s college career was better than half those guys. List is lame.

No, but when it is really close, it is fair to go with the guys with the rings. We are also talking about what they did in college. What they do in the pros is irrelevant to this discussion.

Their NFL careers aren't relevant.

Leak
quote:

Pass stats: 11,213 yds, 88 TD, 42 INT, 61.4%
Rush stats: 137 yds, 13 TD


Eli
quote:

Pass stats: 10,119 yds, 81 TD, 35 INT, 60.8%
Rush stats: 5 TDs


Leak had better college stats. He has a ring.

Explain to me exactly how Eli was a better college QB than Leak, please.

Unless your program hasn't won anything, then you reach for whatever validation you can find.

Guess you didn't want to include a key part.

Leak: 4 years
Eli: 3 years

Congrats. Chris, playing one full season longer, threw for a whopping:

1,094 yards and 7 TD's

more than Eli.

Eli would have had those stats covered in the first three weeks of that extra season. Leak was a good system QB on a great team. Eli was a great QB on an average team. It showed in the pros.

Leak didn't have an "extra season." He was thrown into the fire as a true freshman on a mediocre team. Let's not forget that Leak played his first two seasons under Zook.

Manning was pretty awful in his freshman season in limited playing time, so who knows what his stats would have looked like had he started as a true fresh like Leak?
