I look forward to coming back and getting better.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He got plenty better (six touchdowns, one interception) during that 2007 playoff run that ended with him beating Tom Brady and the Perfect Patriots and winning Super Bowl XLII MVP.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I asked Jones if he had one favorite Manning playoff memory.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot one necessarily that sticks out besides the obvious ones,\u201d he said. \u201cI think the clutch throw to [Mario] Manningham down the sideline [Super Bowl XLVI], the clutch throw to [David] Tyree obviously [Super Bowl XLII], and just how big he was in those games at the biggest moments when the team needed him the most and he delivered and made plays.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Jones was 10 years old when Manning first shocked the world. He was 14, when Manning defeated Brady the second time. He is 25 and all grown up now with a head coach in Brian Daboll who abruptly halted the cycle of the franchise doing everything possible to screw its franchise quarterback up.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Center Jon Feliciano was a Bill from 2019-21. I asked him if the belief in Jones is similar to what it was in Allen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHundred percent, yeah,\u201d Feliciano said. \u201cThey\u2019re different quarterbacks. Obviously Josh is probably a little more athletic running the ball. Daniel I think is definitely a little more accurate. I know people always want to compare them just \u2018cause Daboll coaches both of them, but they\u2019re different quarterbacks. \u2026 Josh has been killing it the last few years. I have no doubt that Daniel could do that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/GettyImages-174360972.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Eli Manning\" class=\"wp-image-25288913\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/GettyImages-174360972.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/GettyImages-174360972.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/GettyImages-174360972.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/GettyImages-174360972.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Eli Manning won his first playoff game in his fourth season. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Do what?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBe up there with the top-name quarterbacks,\u201d Feliciano said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So you think he can be this team\u2019s Josh Allen?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah.
