08:00 AM ET 06.29 | Tom Brady "slipped" to No. 4 in a recent poll of the NFL's top players, which raised a few eyebrows in New England, but New Yorkers, especially the Giants, have a beef with Eli Manning's No. 31 ranking. "He's No. 1 in my book, there's not even any question about it," Giants defensive tackle Chris Canty said Thursday at his Camp of Champions at George Washington High School in Washington Heights. "What he does for our football team, what he means for our football team, he's my MVP. I'm sure Eli's not losing any sleep about being rated No. 31." ... [Linebacker Michael Boley] also didn't give much credence to Manning's No. 31 ranking. "It's just a poll, I guess," Boley said. "Obviously he's a lot better than 31st."

Didn't we just go through all the comparative stats about 2 days ago?

These lists are stupid space filler for NFL Network.


Only one list matters... and Eli is at two.

The Top 100 is ridiculous for gaging players. How can you list Peyton in the top 100 of 2011 when he didn't even play?

He did, however, demonstrate his value to the team.

Yeah, you're probably right.

With that in mind, we'll get the Choir Boy picture tomorrow with the headline, "Ross The Boss Awaits Goodell's Wrath over Banning."

I'm sure neither Eli nor Brady give a squat about this or any other list.

That's all that matters to Giants fans. Rings = greatness.

June 29, 2012  09:47 AM ET

Championships are all that matter. How many of the guys in front of him even have 1 ring?

June 29, 2012  10:15 AM ET

The number to me sounds about right, it shows the true value and how overrated some people are about him.

I've never been a big Eli fan but after last year's playoff performance and Super Bowl win, you have to give the guy his due. He's not the 31st best player in the NFL. He should be a bit higher than this.

So, Trent Dilfer >>>> Dan Marino, right?

At the end of each season who thinks about rankings. When the playoffs starts everybody is rank the same just ask the LA Kings.
