It has to be Hershel ! Look at draft picks from his era at UGA. He carried them to a National Title and 3 straight SEC Titles with no other great players.

Pretty sure black players were playing in the 1960's.

Even though the Super Bowl has nothing to do with the SEC,
using your metric you forgot about Kevin Faulk and his 3 Super Bowl titles.

You forgot that he was 117-117 as a starter. Eli didn't even have a winning record in the NFL as a starter.

Current QBs with winning records as a starter.

And Dalton
Ryan Tannehill
Kirk Cousins
Mitch Trubisky

Eli Manning and Tyrod Taylor have the same winning percentage as a starter.

Eli will forever be Peyton's retarded, mush-mouthed awkward little brother.

It's nice of them to let him tag along in commercials these days. Zero charisma or likeability.


Spot on.

Peyton already had a career in commercials and could anchor a show all by himself, because in spite of being a big orange Vol, he's extremely likeable and funny.

Eli is only viable as a "personality" if he gets to ride on Peyton's coattails.

HAHAHA!!!! Let's just entertain your pathetic excuse of removing Eli's "exception" year. You take out that one "exception" year out of his career stats, he is still a 114-105 QB. A freaking .502 winning percentage if you take out his worst year. 15 years is long enough to know his stats are his stats. .500 winning percentage literally means he was average.
