http://www.ballermindframe.com/2014/03/25/joe-johnson-basketball-equivalent-eli-manning/That line of questioning led me to the conclusion gracing this piece’s heading: Joe Johnson is Eli Manning. This is the part of the article where you make a (justified) “Well, without the championship rings” crack, so go ahead…. We good? Good. Let’s move on.
The obvious connection between the two New York-based athletes: They’re certainly not the best in their respective leagues, but their games get upped to elite levels when it matters most late in close contests.
Good read

what a dumb comparison. Eli has actually been clutch in games that matter, Joe Johnson is garbage in the playoffs.

I should have worded that better. Eli Manning has two epic playoff runs and two championships under his belt. Johnson is historically mediocre in the post season and is nowhere even close to Manning's level of success as a pro athlete.
