Good for him. Two Super Bowl wins including two Super Bowl MVPs. That's quite a career.

Better to see him go out like this than to go to some other team and be a below average QB or even a backup. I'd assume most franchise QB's would prefer to play for the same organization for their entire careers. I still can't believe he managed to get two rings. Guess that's why they say it's better to be lucky than good.

Indeed. History will treat him favorably.

What more could you want?
He’s got titles.
He’ll be put into the Giants Ring of Honor.
He spent his entire career with one team.
I don’t know how he ranks all time against other Giants QBs, but he can’t complain.

He lived up to the nickname Easy E.

He had a weird career but who can argue with 2 Super Bowl MVPs?

He might be one of the more ambiguous QBs ever

And he also stayed injury free

Thanks, Eli, for all the Patriots tears you gave us. I will always be grateful. 18-1 forever.

Not just 2 rings, but 2 Super Bowl MVPs. That means he played his best under the brightest lights. I’d call that good, not lucky.

Enjoy retirement, Eli!

At least one qb recognizes that its time to move on.

I imagine he would be 5th in Giants history after:
Conerly, Tittle, Tarnkenton & Simms.
