Are people insane? How has Eli been better than Brady this season? He played better against the 49ers than Brady did against the Ravens. That's the only part of the 2011 NFL season that Eli Manning was superior than Tom Brady. This is crazy talk, seriously.
At least 5 of those picks where bounced right off the WR's chest, as well.
People make too much of the debate. Brady will no doubt be a higher-ranked QB, and possibly the GOAT, when all is said & done.
Eli has just proven himself in big games, where Brady has been shakier of late. If he throws a pick in the SB and Brady throws the winning TD, that perception changes, but right now, that's the perception.
To be fair, Eli does have the horseshoe up arse factor. I've never, ever seen a guy get every bounce/break, or have his receivers make impossible catches late in games.
not trying to **** talk, but its kind of hard to read that much into that Denver game. They had a broken down defense and tebow at QB lol.
You guys made the statement but im not sure its really relevant next week
Well...he was better when the Giants played the Pats in the regular season...
MeyerBud, it's nice to see a Giants fan come on here and actually be respectful. Welcome. As for the 25 pick season, I remember watching a lot of those, and I will admit, a lot of those were tipped balls, etc. Either way, there's no way you can take Eli over Brady, yet. That's not to say that at the end of Eli's career that he won't have done more than Brady, who can say. As of right now however, you really can't say take Eli over Brady.
No, he had the football last and was facing a worse pass defense. That was the difference in the ball game.
Eli has had two great postseasons, and both times he has reached the SuperBowl. How has he fared in the other opportunities he has had in the playoffs? Not so well at all.
Seriously, Eli Manning is a very good player, but Tom Brady is in the short list for greatest quarterback of all time, this is the silliest discussion I've ever seen.
FWIW, Dilfer said yesterday since week 14 Manning has been playing the best at his position.
How was their defense broken down?
The media is just awful with stuff like this. If Tebow would have beaten the Patriots they's be putting him in the HOF, silly, silly, mediots! But I do like it when Tom gets a little shoved aside for the flavor of the week. Always works out for us
