You gotta be a god damn moron to think that Eli "led" his team to the Super Bowl and then won it.
Three guys did that: Michael Strahan, Osi Umenyiora, and Justin Tuck.
Eli just helped out by not ing things up as much as he normally does.
New York wasn't supposed to do in the playoffs. Nobody thought they were gonna win. all their games where on the road. He led them through the playoffs and to a Super Bowl victory. Can't take that away or chalk it up to luck. Maybe he does revert to his old form, but I guarantee you Charger fans would trade a career from a better QB with no Championship for a Ring from a lesser one and nothing after. Eli won a Ring so as of right now he's a better QB. Rivers has had a stacked team and hasn't won yet. (Not his fault just the truth) I think he will be an excellent QB for many years, but if Eli was on that team last year I think they win it all with a hurt LT and no Merriman.

Careers are over for those two. Let's not get out of hand. We are talking about 2 young QB's here with a lot of future ahead. Lets try to stay on topic.

The defense played great for them and deserves all the props. But Eli led those drives at the end of the game against a solid Patriot defense. I'd say he led his team to that SB victory.
I can't think of any Charger fan who would trade Rivers for Eli. I was at that first game in San Diego, trust me, we HATE Eli.
One area I will say Rivers has a definite advantage is mental toughness. Rivers bumps his gums more than any other qb in the league and doesn't take from anybody, whereas Eli is as fragile minded as they come. With the way Eli's chode was bloaded tonight, I wouldn't be surprised if he goes back to mega suck mode for the rest of the year.
Rivers is coming into is own. 2006 season X5
If Tom Brady didn't spend half the game with his face in the dirt, Eli would never have been in position to do at the end.
You could say the same for Tom Brady and his rings. Without that defense finding a way to stall out Kurt Warner and the Rams, they don't win their first. Same for their second and third, there is NO WAY Brady is going to win a shootout against Peyton Manning, but with their defense giving Manning and his offense all kinds of fits, it put Brady in position to make plays and win the games as long as he doesn't make mistakes.
You can say that one Super Bowl win is a fluke, but once you've done it 3 times, you're not a fluke anymore. Once you're a 3 time SB winning quarterback, "it's the defense" doesn't apply.
The Baltimore Ravens have had one of the more dominant NFL defenses of all-time for a decade now, and they've got one SB ring to show for it. Why? ty quarterbacking. Defense wins championships, but quarterbacks are the cornerstone of a dynasty.
If Eli wins a couple more then obviously I'm wrong, but sorry I'm not going to project greatness from a guy who up until about Week 14 of last season was considered the Village Idiot of the entire NFL. He played great when it counted, but he's given nobody any reason to suggest he's going to keep that consistency.
Rivers > Eli > Roethlisberger
The Chargers have Patrick Ewing Theory written all over them this year...they should trade LT and I bet you they'll go undefeated the rest of the way, straight to Tampa.
LT is holding that team down so bad it's ridiculous. Once Philip Rivers comes out and lets everyone know "this is not LT's team anymore, this is MY team" and they stop pretending that LT is a leader, the Chargers will do something big in the playoffs.
QFT!
The Pats D was the biggest strength during those 3 championships. Brady played great and all, but the Pats win zero championships without that dominating D.
