Eli is good, but his brother is better.

Originally posted by darvlayDon't misunderstand me...the projections have always been that Eli will be better than Peyton. I am not sure whether that will happen or not, but I believe that Peyton is the best in the business still. The sign of a great QB is not how many gaudy stats they put up on the board, but rather the wins from the gut. Snatching victories from the jaws of defeat. Look at what Peyton did yesterday, albeit against the Texans. The team sputters all day, but he has the will to win. Brett Farve is the same way. While they are both grizzled veterans and Eli is the up and comer, for my money today, I would rather have the veteran. The future obviously rests in Eli, but I am not ready to let him have the throne yet.

Peyton made some beauty throws yesterday in the fourth quarter but if it wasn't for Sage Rosenfels thinking he was John Elway, there's no way the Colts win that game. Too bad for the Texans. 🙁
In my opinion, I think Brady's number one in the league and best in the business.

The old Eli was back; three awful interceptions (two in the red zone and one on the first play of the second half) and a fumble also inside the red zone that was (luckily) negated by an illegal contact. People tend to forget that Eli turned the ball over 27 times last year. He's still a work in progress and nowhere near the QB his brother is (and this is from as fanatical a Giant fan as you can get).
