Pro Football Grapevine

It seems a little bit much to me, but perhaps.  From Newsday.com…

Eli Manning now is three solid performances away from claiming sole ownership of a title no one in his or her right mind would have bestowed upon him a year ago today: greatest quarterback in New York history.

Think of what you thought of Eli three years ago, two years ago, even a couple of weeks before Super Bowl XLII, and consider the improbability of it all.

Eli Manning, better than Phil Simms? Better than Y.A. Tittle, Charlie Conerly, Fran Tarkenton? Better, even, than Broadway Joe himself?

All he needs to do is play three solid football games in the next four weekends. Not spectacular football games; not even the most blindly loyal Giants fan would be silly enough to expect that.

Just three of what have become to be accepted as Eli Manning-type games: well managed, with a minimum of disastrous mistakes and a well-placed throw or two at the right time. (Source)
