HOMER WAR!
I understand people shit on Eli every chance they get. For a winning QB, he sure gets a lot of crap. First, at least I'm not the homer claiming my teams rookie QB is among the five best QB in the league. lulz
Eli is definitely one of the top 10 guys in the league. I have no problem saying Peyton, Brady, Brees, Big Ben are better. I wouldn't even say Eli is #5 but to say there are SIX OTHER QBS better? lmao
I don't care if Bradford goes on to win a dozen Super Bowls...right now, he's a solid rookie QB.
With Eli as the starter, the Giants have never had a losing season. Over the past three years, the Giants offense has been top ten in both points scored and yards gained. And over the past three years, Eli's completion percentage has increased and he's on pace to set a career high.
My two criticisms of Eli are 1) He has yet to prove he can play in the wintry winds at the Meadowlands. THANKFULLY 2007 was played on the road....which eli played lights out football for four consecutive weeks...including outplaying Favre in his own building. Back to the criticism....2) He throws too many picks for my liking. This year he is on pace for 20+, which would be the second time in his career.
Lets look at Big Ben and Eli...
Eli has started 94 games in his career. Ben has started 88 games and has a 5% better completion percentage. Eli has a couple hundred more yards, more INTs and one more TD.
Eli's playoff record--- 4-3. Ben's record -- 8-2. Ben is the better QB, but Eli is in the discussion.
