Have you seen him this year? He looks good even with a HORRIBLE offensive line and a RB that forgot how to run.

Yeah he has looked pretty good. Still isn't playing up to where he was drafted, but he seems to be improving.

how is eli not #2?, he's running one of the best offenses in the league, and throws the ball a whole lot more than rivers. He also has let multiple 4th quarter combacks as a 2nd and 3rd year QB. The guy is clutch.

Manning - 1672 yds, 88.9 QB rating, 14 TDs, 8 INTs, 5 fumbles/1 lost, 6 rushing yards
Rivers - 1536 yds, 97.6 QB rating, 10 TDs, 3 INTs, 3 fumbles/1 lost, 44 rushing yards


Manning has more yards and TDs, but also more INTs and fumbles than a guy playing his first season. Rivers seems to be a better decision-maker and more efficient to me. He can run too.

Manning IS good...he just needs to clean up his game a little and cut down on mistakes.

Marino threw more interceptions that trent green, didnt make trent green better. Eli throws downfield much more. People fear eli, they don't fear rivers. Tiki has no TD's this year, it's all ELI. How many TD's does tomlinson have. Plus gates is the easiest target in the NFL, especially on short throws. Brunell's rating is always high, however I see him as one of the 5 worst QB's in the league, David Carr also sucks.

No one fears Rivers because they barely know who he is. Give him a few years.

Tiki has no TDs because Jacobs is the goal-line back and has his 4 TDs on his stat sheet. They pull Tiki in the red zone. He does have 715 rushing yards this year...very solid. It's barely "all" Eli.

You talk about Gates...the Giants have a very involved TE too...who probably doesn't get double-teamed like Gates. The TEs are a wash.

How you can bring Brunell into a discussion of the best young QBs I'll never know, but since you did...ignoring that he has the 8th-best QB rating in the NFL since you don't like that stat; he's in the top half of the league in passing yards, he has the LEAST number of interceptions of ALL starting QBs in the league, has not lost a fumble yet, has a respectable middle-of-the-league 200 yds/game even with the short passes Saunders calls...he's nowhere NEAR being one of the 5 worst. He's not a top QB, but he's going a good job with the system he plays in. You love Manning so much, he averages 7.2 yards per attempt. Brunell is at 7.1 yds/attempt.

Who are you? The "other" Manning brother?


Are you sure you're not an undercover Giants fan?

Nothing personal REXI, I'm just tired of people talking about the "great" young QB's in the league and JC's not mentioned. Why? Cause he's not playin! Oh by the way, the best QB on your team plays RB(Michael Robinson), that's brilliant!

JC isn't mentioned because he hasn't proven anything yet. I'm guessing the M-Rob comment was a joke right?

How can you say he has played great when he is 2-5?

Please stop with the 49ers. They are horrible. As bad as the Redskins have been the last 5 years, they have been worse. What makes you think that any of us want to see daily rants on how great Alex Smith is? He was an embarrasment last year and he is mediocre this year.

[The Zimmermans]

I like Rivers, but he hasnt faced any adversity in SD, and hasn't had to win a game for them. That's when things get interesting. I'm not a Giants fan, I just watched Eli Kick our asss, and the asses of everyone else in the division. Then I watched Rivers play Marty-Ball. 4TD's is not a lot for Jacobs. We know Eli is good, Rivers still has more to prove, but i would love to have both of them of course.

Why are we even discussing sorry ass Alex Smith? Didn't he make a high score on the Wonderlic test? Who gives a damn? That flag football ass offense he ran in college hasn't helped him yet. Oh yeah, Big Ben is being exposed as the sorry ass QB he's always been too!

WTF are you on? This isn't last season, freaking pay attention. Alex has been awesome this season. I think it's very impressive how quickly he has developed because he has had to learn two offenses in two seasons and has had to adjust to having mostly new guys around him. His play so far in spite of all the lack of contiuty around him astounds me, I never thought he would come along this quickly after running a gimmick offense in college. He's going to be a great QB.
