Back to .500

Manning should be considered a Hall of Fame lock, but his detractors will forever be there to argue against him. And as we’ve seen over the previous week, one of the areas they intended to attack was his career record — which had been below .500 entering Sunday’s game against the Dolphins.

Although wins and losses are a team stat, which is always the counter-argument when you point out Manning’s two Super Bowl wins, that was the weakest area of Eli’s resume.

No more.

Although an even .500 record isn’t what we’d all have liked to see for Manning, it eliminates the “losing record” line of protest and ensures Eli will not exit East Rutherford a loser.
