Which quarterback is the better kicker?

There’s always fun to be had around the Super Bowl. Between the commercials, the halftime show, and all the pageantry around the game, the NFL always goes all out.

As a part of this year’s festivities, FanDuel Sportsbook is pitting New York Giants great Eli Manning against his brother, Peyton Manning, in the Kick Of Destiny.

So what is the Kick Of Destiny? The two quarterbacks will compete to prove that they could do Adam Vinatieri and Lawrence Tynes’ jobs, and go head-to-head in a competition of 25-yard field goals attempts.

(It’s worth noting that extra points are 33-yard kicks.)

Rules

  • Peyton and Eli Manning will face off in a field goal kicking competition.
  • Each kicker will attempt a 25-yard kick.
  • If the first kicker makes, the second kicker is given a chance to tie.
  • If the first kicker misses, the second kicker is given a chance to win.
  • If both kickers miss, they will kick again until there is a winner.
  • If no winner is decided after three rounds, the kicker who kicked it closest to the center target on the net in the last round wins the tiebreaker.

SB Nation reacts asked fans who would come out on top, with the majority voting for the younger Manning.

The Brothers Manning are among the most prolific quarterbacks in NFL history. But unlike triple-threat George Blanda, Eli and Peyton were quarterback specialists.

But as we all know, being a multi-discipline athlete requires athleticism. Eli has always been the more athletic of the two — recall the time Eli outran reigning DPOY and HOF pass rusher Jason Taylor for a touchdown. Being a successful kicker also demands the cool, calm demeanor to not let nerves impact the process, and Eli was well-known as one of the most clutch quarterbacks of all time. Easy E is famous for his steady keel and imperviousness to pressure.

That all works in Eli’s favor, and hopefully he’ll get the ultimate bragging rights over Peyton.
