...trying to remember who it was that tried to convince us that Eli was a better QB than Rodgers.

I'm glad they didn't keep Rivers as he's been rather mediocre IMO, but Eli's had little protection so no time to throw the ball... the decisions he's making these last couple of weeks though...

The Eli and Rivers conversation is now moot because of the two Super Bowl wins. It worked out but that being said Eli is no where near the Rodgers, Brady, Peyton and Brees conversation and never should've been.

No disagreement there... Just saying he was better than Rivers... and definitely not worth the money... but what was the alternative?

I know a lot of what happens in sports is based on at least a little luck & Eli has had his fair share of it. Hell just look at Tyree's catch where the ball practically stuck to his helmet in the final seconds of there SB win a few years back. I'm not saying Eli sucks, just saying he's over rated & certainly not worthy of his new contract. Rivers IMO has the better arm & probably could have been just as successful had he the teams Eli has had. Maybe even more so. JMO.

Eli seems to get to Brady on the big stage... seems to be the only one... aside from that, he very well could have had a better career in NY
Bradford sucks and if they don't make playoffs Kelly will be back coaching in college next season. Friggin suckball giants despite all their shortcomings should be 2-0 and with romo out, eagles ineptness and redskins being the redskins could have almost hard a stranglehold on the division.

I'm convinced he's been more lucky than good. That aside, he could
have been better had Giant management surrounded him with better talent......
especially on the offensive line and with a stop defensive unit.

You can't take Eli's playoff runs away from him. Especially 2011 where he put up four excellent games.

....^^^
amen, best IMO in the business. Better than Favre at the same ages, with reminiscent memories of the great Joe Cool...........I hope Rodgers can stay healthy for his entire career, to not only break but destroy Favre's records. Favre was too jittery too often in the first half of many games, while Aaron is as cool as a Cucumber......
