In time, Eli will be like...

Recommended Posts

considering hes' young, had the better part of one season to be tutored and has been reasonably succesful?

 

He's not a gun-slinger and he doesn't have a cannon for an arm, but he's good and getting better. Considering his demeanor and talent, whose career will he mirror?

 

My guess is Danny White: your thoughts?

I think Terry Bradshaw is a generous answer, but it is hypothetical.

 

I mean he's not a big man like Culpepper, he's not a strong arm like Elway, and he's not a Randall Cunningham either.

 

I know that Montana and other exceptional QB's weren't some of those things, but Eli's surely going to fit some mold.

Nem,

 

I know he's unique, but he'll be categorized:

 

Collins, Bledsoe, and somone else big and slow

Marino, Elway

Montana, Brady,

Cunnigham, Vick,

Staubach, Theismann

 

Eli will have a parallel

Its a tough choice...I say his throwing style is more like Tom Brady.

He very well may have his own style. I mean, he's smart like Montana, not as unmobile a Marino, but not as mobile as Cunningham or even Elway. Not a gun for an arm like Collins, but not whimpy. I think he does kinda resemble Brady in a way.

Come on guys, I know all of you are pumped to see Eli progress further but don't make these silly comparisons just yet.
That's my point...I can't ready put my finger on it. he just doesn't compare to any other QB. At least for me. But time will tell. :)

I'd say John Elway for 2 reasons:

1. They both refused to play for the original team that drafted them.

 

2. For the 4th quarter comebacks
