Did he fall off the gravy train again? I thought his recent resurgence was a good sign.

So does this mean Eli shoud get a raise?

I'd ask for one if I was Eli

Doesn't Eli already have a 100 million contract? Another Super Bowl win or not, you can only devote so much salary cap space to a qb. From what I understand, Eli is already making elite qb money.

Eli isn't close to being the QB that Brees is. That's why SB wins doesn't really show you who's a better player. Shows you who is playing on a better team.

Very true, but remember this is a QB driven league, and the giants were good because of their QB running their offense. Cruz, Nicks, Bradshaw, Ballard would be nothing if it weren't for Manning. David Carr was their backup. You think that team would still be good with Carr as their starter? I think the Saints with Chase Daniel would still be a good team, similar to the patriots with Cassel. Brees is the 2nd best QB in the league, but to say Eli isn't close to being the QB that Brees is, is not correct. Because people judge players on Super Bowls. Eli has 2. Brees has 1. Keep in mind that Bree's offense is more pass happy where as the Giants is more balanced.

lol Eli is a solid QB, but not close to the same level as Drew. Not close...lol

Closer comparison is Romo and Eli

Call me crazy but I don't think brees is really that far ahead of Eli. He's better yes but you guys make Manning out to be alex Smith or something

Brees is the ONLY QB in history to throw 2 5000 yard seasons. Before last season he was the ONLY other QB in history not named Dan Marino to throw for over 5000 yards. Not Peyton, not Aikman, not Brady (did last year) not Elway.... The only stat that you can argue Eli is close or better is the Superbowl wins.

couldnt said it better. Brees has done it with less talent at the skill positions as well. Eli has been surrounded by excellent talent his whole career, FO has done a great job for him.
