The voter of the Hall of Fame says that Eli Manning’s discussion was one of the “most controversial” among the committee

Eli Manning It was not induction of the Hall of Fame of Professional Soccer on Thursday night, and in fact, it was not particularly close.

Manning was not within the top 10 to vote for this year’s class, which presents Only four players: Jared Allen, Eric Allen, Antonio Gates and Sterling Sharpe.

The legend of the New York Giants has been a polarizing figure for the Hall of Fame, even long before retiring. On the one hand, it was never an All-Pro or obtained a MVP vote. On the other hand, he is responsible for two of the best units of the Super Bowl of all time, and occupies the 11th all time in yards and touchdowns.

Then, when the committee met, the voter of the Hall of Fame, Gary Myers, and another voter based in New York presented his case, and Myers said the battles are hot.

“I have been in the committee for 15 years. In addition to the Terrell Owens conversation we had for three years, this was the most controversial discussion I have been part of,” myers said Friday at ESPN New York’s “Dipietro and Rothenberg”.

“I knew there was going to be an anti-eli feeling … but I was very surprised by the amount of criticism and degrading their achievements that continued in that room.”

That criticism, said Myers, was apparent hypocrisy of the other voters.

“What they said, that The defense of the giants He won those two Super Bowls, but Eli was responsible for having only one record of .500. Voters loved him both ways. They did not want to give Eli credit to defeat the Patriots twice in the Super Bowl and have those two -minute units. They wanted to put everything in defense. But then, they wanted to say that the reason why it was 117-117 was for him, not because it was a team game, “Myers added.

“My point was that you can’t wait for the credit for the Super Bowls, but it blamed the album. For the trip, I thought it was really bad.”

Myers also pointed out the fact that Plaxic Burress, who caught the Touchdown winner of Super Bowl XLII, shot in the leg the following season, while Big Blue threatened to go behind his back with a 11-1 start. They lost in the division round that year. He also tried to argue that the decisions of the main office later in the Manning race were not beneficial for the field marshal.

“His career would have been much more different if he received more support from his teammates and, more importantly, his main office,” Myers joked.

Myers said he compared Manning with Warren Moon and Dan Fouts, who were 102-101 and 86-84-1, respectively, with zero appearances at the Super Bowl (Moon did not even make a conference title game) and worse statistics of counting that Manning, mainly throughout the board, but were induced in the first vote.

“His numbers are superior, and pulling, he won two MVP of the Super Bowl … So what are we doing here?”
