Overview
- The two-time Super Bowl MVP was a modern-era finalist but did not receive enough votes for induction.
- Reported objections focus on his lack of All-Pro honors, only four Pro Bowls, and consistently modest efficiency metrics across his career.
- Manning’s supporters point to his two Super Bowl MVPs, 210 consecutive starts, and his ownership of most major Giants passing records.
- He finished 117-117 as a starter, won playoff games only in the two championship seasons, ranks 11th all time in passing yards and touchdowns, and led the league in interceptions three times.
- Ballot dynamics may tighten with Drew Brees viewed as a lock and future eligibility for Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, and Ben Roethlisberger, though some analysts still anticipate Manning’s eventual induction.
