it's different though, because neither of which ever suited up and played for the team that drafted them.
lets' not confuse the 2 though, Eli Womanning is no John Elway nor will he ever be a John Elway, IMO, he's not qualified to carry John Elways jock strap.
Id be willing to bet if Elway went and suited up right now, he'd outplay WoManning blindfolded.
I never said Eli was anywhere near as good as Elway, I was just giving another reference of a top pick being a cry baby/bitch about the team that drafted him and wanting to go somewhere else.
They didn't suit up and play for them because they refused to sign with that team.. they didn't think that team offered enough for them in potential success, which is pretty stupid because it's a first overall pick (meaning the team sucked ass and is rebuilding).
So I guess John Elway's was tarnished from the beginning since he was being a cry baby about playing with the team that drafted him.. just like Eli Manning.
Elway had a legitimate gripe...Indy could never have surrounded him with the talent needed to reach championship status, they had no O-Line, and no WR's, RB's....they were losers.

Eli pissed in the face of one of the league's best Offensive Unit all because his worthless no championship winning pops said they couldn't protect him. Funny that SD has had one of the best offensive lines in the league since drafting L.T.
I liked this place better the couple days mixbreed was banned.

It'd have been funny if they'd have made him recycle through the previous years draft, and then no one had drafted him...that would have been hilarious. Peeli Womanning is about as good as Trent Dilfer ever was.
I don't understand why people say he's going to tarnish his legacy or his reputation by playing for another team.. Here are a few examples that hasn't tarnished some of the best..
John Elway - Drafted by the Colts, but refused to play for them. Said he was going to play baseball, but the owner gave in and traded him.
Joe Montana - Traded to the Chiefs after Steve Young emerged while Montana was injured.
Johnny Unitas - Drafted by the Steelers and didn't even make the roster. Picked up by the Colts and later on was traded to the Chargers.
Joe Namath - Played for the Jets, but was later waived by the franchise and signed by the Rams.
Emmitt Smith - Played for the Cowboys for a long time, then played for the Arizona Cardinals.
None of them have tarnished their legacies or reputations by their early and late career moves/decisions. So I don't see any reason why Favre's would be tarnished.
Last time i checked Eli won a superbowl.. That in in itself puts him in a different catagory then most NFL players who will never win a superbowl.
Not saying he's better then elway - But you give no credit for being a crucial part in dismantaling the pats last season in the superbowl, who are arguablly one of the BEST teams of all time.
Yet SD has not won a SB since Eli was drafted and Eli HAS won one with the gmen. Sounds like a good trade off to meI guess one of the best offensive lines in the league isn't good enough to make it to the big show
