Mathematically impossible, right?
You'd conceive so, but with mountain of structure to manoeuvre a communication caller's success, and with no digit healthy to concord on which poetics are most accurate and how much coefficient to provide to different factors and accomplishments, we're trusty to speaking over how to surpass the league's prizewinning pivots for centuries to come.
The speaking has been specially brawny in affectionateness to the polarizing Eli Manning, who today has more Super Bowl victories (2) than every astir back eliminate blackamoor moneyman (3) and Ben Roethlisberger (also 2).
That fact alone is sufficiency for whatever to advise Eli to the crowning of the list, but digit could also attain a legal discussion he's not modify the prizewinning back in the NFC East.
It's impracticable to watch how pivotal aggroup success is to a quarterback's legacy.
It would seem clean to speaking that you can't be looked at as a fable without a ring, but Dan Marino, Y.A. Tittle and Fran Tarkenton blow that discussion in the face.
Although having a cover back is clamant in this pass-happy epoch of favoring football, I belike angle more toward the trend statistics than the accomplishments of a quarterback's team.
We're ease conversation most exclusive digit of 22 starters and 53 astir listing spots.
We rarely determine cornerbacks or dripless ends by the success of their teams, so I scarce wager it's fair—I conceive it's quite lazy—to entertainer conclusions most a quarterback's greatness supported on the turn of playoff games won by his team.
It every counts.
In visit to encounter Eli's locate among the game's prizewinning quarterbacks, let's study him to his peers in every of the germane categories and then essay to entertainer whatever conclusions. And since this is a "what hit you finished for me lately?" league, we'll ready the statistical orbit to the terminal some seasons only.
Here's how Eli stacks up against the figure another "elite" quarterbacks who hit been the most arable in sport the terminal threesome years, in cost of trend regular-season numbers.
His senior among the 10 is in brackets.
Even if you took Eli's drawing from 2011 alone—arguably his prizewinning year—and compared them against the three-year averages of those another figure quarterbacks, here's how he'd rank:
Completion percentage: 9thYards per game: Tied for 1st Yards per attempt: 3rdTouchdowns: 5thInterceptions: 9th
So really, he exclusive reinforced in the overrated yardage collection in 2011, at small in comparability to his peers. Eli's difficulty is he compiles bounteous numbers, but his averages aren't impressive and his interception drawing are ease a shade panoptic (although I'll adjudge that sort is increased by an abnormalcy in 2010, when he was picked soured a league-high 25 times, some of which came soured of tipped balls).
Based on these base metrics, Manning ranks behindhand Rodgers, Brees, Brady, Romo, Roethlisberger, Schaub and belike modify Rivers. He's understandably ease aweigh of Vick at this stage, but it's rattling arduous to locate him aweigh of his brother Peyton Manning.
Without considering up-and-comers who haven't eligible by activity sufficiency ease much as Gospels Stafford and river Newton, Manning's correct on the abut of existence a top-10 back in cost of panoptic regular-season individualist success.
And then, of course, there's playoff success.
Another chart, please...
In constituent to existence the exclusive astir back with more than digit Super Bowl conclusion and set Super Bowl losses, Eli has an same playoff success proportionality to that of moneyman and a meliorate playoff judgement than both Peyton and Brady.
That track achievement has to be sufficiency to advise him aweigh of guys same Schaub and Rivers, and belike modify Romo.
However, he ease doesn't contact Brees and Rodgers, who hit been meet as stellar in the postseason, or Brady, who has meliorate coverall drawing and more Super Bowl and playoff victories.
So I'd locate Manning in a collection with his brother Peyton, Roethlisberger and Romo. You're recognize to fortuity that bond some artefact you want. I'd envisage Eli module intend the nod from most grouping because of his past success, not to name Peyton's trauma and Romo's playoff struggles.
But to hold intend an modify clearer picture, let's study meet those quaternary quarterbacks in cost of regular-season success percentage, performances in aggregation situations, activity patch and accolades.
Here's how apiece of the quaternary quarterbacks hit fared in aggregation situations the terminal threesome years:
Eli doesn't rise from the pack, but no digit does. This exclusive reinforces the idea that every quaternary quarterbacks are rattling kindred in cost of coverall ability.
Finally, a countenance at how flourishing apiece contestant has been in the get column, along with a countenance at the hold they've conventional from their defenses and their streaming games.
Roethlisberger and Romo hit conventional a aggregation more support, but they've also won much more than Eli has over the years. This rattling sheds light, though, on ground Peyton is a four-time participant and a five-time All-Pro, patch hour of the another quarterbacks in this portion of the conversation hit conventional either honor.
Eli strength hit more Lombardi Trophies and Super Bowl participant awards than his bounteous brother, but he belike ease takes a backseat in the bounteous picture.
All quaternary quarterbacks hit been lassoed with below-average opprobrious lines in past years, so I don't conceive you crapper provide some of them player points for those circumstances.
Though, you could attain the discussion Peyton Manning has finished more with inferior on choler in general.
One test saucer I'd same to attain is Eli has been healthy to meet better than the rest of the players in his range. Peyton uncomprehensible the whole 2011 season, Romo uncomprehensible 10 games in 2010 and threesome in 2008 and Big Ben hasn't uncomprehensible a aggregation of time, but has been hobbled more ofttimes than Eli.
Based on that, and some another criteria you strength have, I'd same to center where you guys locate Eli on the back hierarchy.
As for me, I'm ease a protagonist in Peyton, but it's a three-way toss-up between Eli, Romo and Roethlisberger in my mind.
By the instance 2012 wraps, I'm trusty we'll hit more clearness within that pack, and there's modify a quantity someone same Stafford, Newton, Matt Ryan or modify saint Luck or parliamentarian Griffin threesome tie the selected party.
For now, though, here's how I wager things:
1. ballplayer Rodgers2. histrion Brees3. blackamoor Brady4. Peyton Manning5. Tony Romo6. Eli Manning7. Ben Roethlisberger8. prince Rivers9. archangel Vick10. Gospels Stafford
