Eli Manning will eventually be considered for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but a quarterback already in Canton believes there will be a spirited discussion about whether Manning deserves to be in.
Manning, entering his 16th NFL season, is now just two games over .500 (116-114), and that number might impact his case for enshrinement, according to former Rams, Giants and Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner. Is it fair to consider a quarterback’s record?
“I think quarterbacks are leaders, first and foremost, so I think the bottom line is lifting the play of other people and playing better than what your roster says, always putting your team in position, so yeah, it’s fair,” said Warner, who was 67-49, winning a regular season MVP, a Super Bowl MVP and playing in three Super Bowls.
