These two catches are the only ones that could compete with Beckham Jr's catch...

and of course the greatest interception of all time (a guy many of you may recognize):

Why does Eli get singled out on this board?

Because he gets paid like his brother without any of the warrant (those two Super Bowls weren't all his doing).

And, because for every three interceptions that are the product of his receivers running a bad route or letting a ball through their hands, Eli throws another two as the product of just unbelievably awful decision making.

If Manning, Vick, Flacco, Romo, and Ryan make the same horrible throw, we'll hear about Manning and Romo but not the other three. A few of them were paid big bucks. Some members here have an obvious agenda as far as quarterbacks go.

Manning was arguably the best Giant in the playoffs for that first Super Bowl win and I could argue their best player in the second Super Bowl. I'm a Browns fan, my brother is a Raiders fan, and my older brother is a Bills fan. We'd all be very happy with an Eli Manning over the years. Giant fans should remember the Dave Brown era and be happy with the Eli Manning era.

I'm incredibly thankful for the hardware Eli has helped the Giants get in the last seven years, but if you're telling me I should be happy with what Eli has done over the last 27 games of his career, then you're insane.

I don't know if it's as good, but I've always thought this one was pretty good too.

I feel like Cris Carter is being left out of the discussion of best catch of all time. I don't know if he had any catch better than Beckham, but he did have a handful of diving, one-handers along the sidelines. Pretty much any type of catch you can make, Cris Carter has made.

That catch by Robert Woods wasn't too shabby either.

Cris Carter had some of the best hands ever. Even when he got well into his 30s and he let Randy Moss take the #1 spot in Minnesota, he was just snatching passes with one hand like it was nothing.

I wasn't alive to see Monk play, but have seen tons of clips. He had great dexterity, even into the twilight of his career.

Guys like Torry Holt and Tim Brown get overlooked here, too. And here's a name people don't recall too often: David Boston. When the Cardinals were still in the NFC East and he was in his prime (that 2-3 year window when he led the league in basically every category), he would torch offenses and make some amazing grabs in traffic.
