ELI Manning must wait for at least one year to enter the professional football hall.
The legendary New York Giants quarterback did not cut the class in 2025 in the first year of qualification. Manning was one of the 15 finalists. He did not cut the last 10 after his “active discussion” on his candidate.
The group consisting of four players to be introduced in Canton this summer did not contain quarterback. Instead, the group consists of corner back Eric Allen, Defensive Line Man Jared Allen, TIGHT END Antonio Gates and wide receiver Sterling Sharpes.
Manning’s case was complicated. He has two amazing playoff runs, two Super Bowl victories, and two Super Bowl MVPs than the New England patriots. There are several brilliant statistics that have always been 10th in passage yards (57,023) and touchdown (366) when retired after the 2019 NFL season. The year career due to injury.
According to some voters in this room, the biggest obstacle is that Manning never discussed in discussions as the best player for his career. He has a hall of honor, including Bill Belichick and Tom Brady twice on the biggest stage, but not necessarily a hall of honor.
“For complete transparency, I voted for Elli Manning and told him at our meeting. I think Manning Manning is selected as a Super Bowl MVP every time he hit Patriot with a two -minute drive at Super Ball for two minutes. The 11th place in the yard suggests a persuasive resume.
“In order to be selected in the future, voters are not worldwide or regular season MVP and realize that he played when he had never played when he had played in the times with Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees.”
Myers said: “ELI’s record was. 500, but DAN FOUTS was only .500 or more games, and Warren Moon was only .500 or more games. Conference championship games and moon were the first hall of the first hole. “
Manning played in the same era as his brother Payton, in the same age as some people, including Brady, Brie, Brett Fabre and Aaron Rogers. He was four pro -ball choices, but he was never a pro. Tony Romo, Cam Newton, and Carson Palmer have been driven by at least one all-in-law in Manning since 2004-19.
The complete picture looked at him from the outside after a round in the hall of honor.
The decision also had more than a few shaking heads.
“Eli was absolutely the first person,” said Sal Paolantonio, an ESPN reporter and the Hall of Fame. “There was a violent discussion about his candidate. He later received a lot of support to enter the Canton later.”
Peyton Manning said at the beginning of the week at “Adam Schefter Podcast”. “If you want to win Patriots once, you probably ask Belichick when you win twice, including undefeated teams. I think it’s obvious. I’m looking forward to it, but when time is right.”
It definitely does not mean that Manning will not ultimately enter. In fact, some voters in the room think that his time will come later. Next year, athletes such as Brees, Fellow Quarter Back Philip Rivers, wide receivers Larry Fitzgerald and TIGHT END JASON WITTEN will be added to the induction materials that can be added to the first year.
There are many factors about whether the player is the first alloy inductor, except whether the player deserves the hall of the Hall of Fame. We also participate in competition to participate. Only 4 to 8 members are selected every year, so there are cutoffs, and sometimes there are Logjam in the previous year. In this case, the remaining hope for a wide receiver and the attack lineman contributed to the first timer, the same as Manning became a casualty.
Manning is not the first notable NFL star. When he retired, Michael Strahan, a single sack of NFL’s single season sack leader, did not go to the second attempt in 2014. Players such as Wide receiver, CRIS CARTER and Terrell Owens and the defensive lineman John Randle were other notable people. wait.
Perhaps considering the combination of the former RAIDERS Quarter Ken Stabler, a combination of the Super Bowl Ring and the statistical inconsistency, the closest manning comparison for the Hall of Fame would have been derived after death in 2016. It has been selected as a senior committee selection for many years.
Belichick, who was the first to qualify for the next year’s professional football hall, took a position on Eli Manning’s candidate while appearing in “Manningcast” last season.
“Eli doesn’t look so good in the crow, but it will look great with a gold jacket,” Belichick said. “I am sure that it will happen, and you deserve so much.”
Voters did not agree with at least 25 years of class.
