The Hilts/Namath Award of the Week


And the winners are.....

1967- Eli Manning, yes Eli! What a string of games this kid has had. Against improbable odds in "frozen tundra" Green Bay, Eli of the Manning clan did his best Joe Willie of 1967. Mixing runs and passes well enough to keep Green Bay on its heels. What's the saying, "if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere", well he's just about made it. The Super Bowl set up is much like Jets vs. Colts with the Jets as 16.5 dogs. Can Eli beat the mighty Pats and complete the J.W.N

1976- Brett Favre-gunslinger. He's always had the Namath gunslinger mentality, but now he's got the age to match a transitional Joe Willie on his way to the Rams. Was it just me, or did Favre's face look ancient out there. He looked incredibly unconfortable out there. He is done! Yes the team had a great year, but they should take all of the pieces they have and start tutoring a young QB. Favre will always have the Namath arm, but unfortunately he also has the J.W.N decision making!

Super Bowl nominees next!
