Eli's legacy summed up in one picture:

"Lucky as F..."

I will say, that catch was only made possible by him shaking off two would be sackers and then getting the ball to Tyree.

Difference of opinion I guess - I Never really held Eli in high regard as a QB.
Never really thought "Oh crap, We play Eli this week"
I remember those games against us he would basically throw into the ground.

Not fully getting the Eli hate here, I've got no problem with the guy? Pretty decent career, nothing mind blowing but did win 2 Superbowls. 

One of the main reasons I wanted Peyton to get his second ring was to avoid Eli having more. It just didn't seem right. He certainly had a decent career. But right, nothing mind blowing.

Not sure why it took this long.

We owned this guy.  Darren Sharper still has Eli's pic on his cell wall...

So he's twice as good as Trent Dilfer?  :p

those rings are meaningless IMO.   He was never the QB the media and his family wanted everybody to believe he was... good passer but that was the extent of it.  he played scared and was basically carried by his team and his last name.

It was inevitable.

For me it's his attitude and expressions/mannerisms when things don't go his way or not going well (which has been pretty often).  I see that pouting and just want someone to punch him in the face.  It started at his draft and has continued his entire career.

(In a similar fashion I've grown to hate watching Cam Newton.  I lost my last respect for him during his interview after the Super Bowl loss.  The losing qb is always understandably unhappy with the result, but he acted like a seven year old boy.  Russell Wilson lost a should-have-won game at the end of the previous Super Bowl with that interception in the end zone yet he handled himself afterward like a grown man and professional.  Cam has to have the biggest swing/gap between moods of any player.)

Certainly wouldn't put Eli in the Cam Newton pout category.  Is it really a pout or more a product of his face?  Peyton had more of a scowl with the long forehead.

LOL!  Both of them could take pouting lessons from this guy though...
