![]() ![]() Manning played college football at Ole Miss, where he won the Maxwell and Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Awards as a senior. ![]() A member of the Manning family, he is the youngest son of quarterback Archie Manning and younger brother of quarterback Peyton Manning. Longest touchdown pass: 99 yards (tied)Įlisha Nelson Manning (born January 3, 1981) is an American former football quarterback who played in the National Football League (NFL) for 16 seasons with the New York Giants.Most passing yards in a single postseason: 1,219 (2011).Cotton Bowl Classic Hall of Fame (2023).SEC Offensive Player of the Year (2003).Louisiana High School Sports Hall of Fame (2021).Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year (2016).The New York Giants should be happy with the two championships they won during his career, say their goodbyes and go about their business without him beginning in 2020. For me, based upon the simple eye test of having seen both play their entire careers and looking at the stats, there is no way anyone can prove or make the claim that Eli Manning is better than Ben Roethlisberger. While Manning did most of his damage during his two Super Bowl title runs, he only competed in 12 postseason games, going 8-4 by contrast, Roethlisberger saw action in 21 such games, going 13-8.Īs the analytical website said, Eli Manning was an all-time average quarterback who’s only Hall of Fame credential is that he won two Super Bowls and (incorrectly) was the Most Valuable Player in both games. While both Manning and Roethlisberger both have a championship ring for each hand, another telling stat is the number of playoff games each played in. (Roethlisberger has 363 TDs and 191 INTs Manning has 362 TDs and 241 INTs.) Also, while playing a full season less worth of games than Manning, Roethlisberger has more touchdown passes than his New York counterpart and a much better TD/INT ratio than Manning. Additionally, not counting his 0-2 start to this season, “Big Ben” has one seen one season when he didn’t win at least as many games as he lost. ![]() While not being a durable as Manning, Ben Roethlisberger sees his 2019 season end having won more than two-thirds of his games (144-71-1). (He will likely see his Giants career end with 241 career interceptions in 232 games.) The indictment is that Manning never made his teammates better and could never win without a lot of talent, especially on defense, since he was prone to turning the ball over for his entire career. 500 or better record however, in the six full seasons from 2013-2018, Manning NEVER ended the season above. 500 record at 116-116. This, in and of itself is an indictment on Manning career because for his first eight full seasons (2005-2012, Manning also had a. With his 0-2 start before being benched, Eli Manning could see his New York Giants career end with a. With one down with an injury and the other down on the bench, the question is this: Who’s has had a better NFL career to date, Eli Manning or Ben Roethlisberger? Each has won two Super Bowl Championships and are likely future Hall of Famers. Both were part of the Quarterback Class of 2004, and have played their entire career with one of the standard bearing franchises in the NFL. ![]()
