@ Brees/Rodgers ahead of Elite The Eliminator Manning. Elite outplayed Rodgers and has 1 more ring than him while Brees can't win away from the dome in the postseason. Elite is better than Brady today, and Peyton is still a question mark. Big Ben?? Pffffffffffffffffffffft

[dirk4mvp]

Fat Ben should easily be replaced with Eli.

[DAF86]

If Vick wins a ring he gets into the HoF, tbh.

[jgome21]

Fat Ben should easily be replaced with Eli.

I think both Big Ben and Eli are at the Hall of Fame level. Not a fan of Big Ben, but the guy is clutch if given an extra possession. Eli has now shown that he def belongs in that group as well.

If my uncle had a pussy, he'd be my aunt.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

@ Vince Young not a top 40 QB

Is this a prediction or can you really not count?

He has to win on Sunday first.

Blaine Gabbert
Colt McCoy
Christian Ponder
Rex Grossman
Tavaris Jackson
Curtis Painter
John Beck

But Colt has moxie! He's a gamer!

[HarlemHeat37]

If you asked me if I would trade Tebow for any of the QBs in the next two brackets, I would only accept Newton, Vick and Dalton, tbh..

[jjktkk]

Fat Ben should easily be replaced with Eli.

Provided Manning wins this Sunday.

[TIMMYtoZO]

The giants are not losing Sunday. They are all locked in and are a much superior team than the patriots.

[TIMMYtoZO]

He has to win on Sunday first.

He will. Elite Manning is allergic to losing. This will be the start of a dynasty for the giants.

[manufan10]

He will. Elite Manning is allergic to losing. This will be the start of a dynasty for the giants.

I wonder if you said the same thing in '07.

Using the clutch card in an argument against Eli isn't in the realm of discussion anymore considering Eli just had one of most clutch seasons we've ever seen at qb and the last time we saw Fat Ben with the ball in the clutch he looked like ass.

Eli has had one season of some clutch plays vs. his entire career of ending the season for his team because of pressure when playing clutch. Last time you say Ben in the clutch, he was injured along with missing half his defense & starting RB.

[dirk4mvp]

Thanks for informing me that injuries occur in football.

And plz don't act this is Eli's first season that he showed up in the clutch.

[MavDynasty]

Sup j dub

[DAF86]

If my uncle had a pussy, he'd be my aunt.

I meant he should have been in the "one ring away" level.

[DAF86]

@ Vince Young not a top 40 QB

Dilfer is a known Young hater. VY should be at least on the "short leash" list, and if you ask me I don't think any QB in the "could go either way" list is clearly better than him.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Eli is clutch as . You are a dumbass.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

if you ask me

No one was asking you

Clearly this person doesn't watch football outside of his Cowboys.
