    He played the 2nd worst defense in the league and only threw 1 td. That's good?
    Hey, if you think so. DUDE!!!

    Also I did state it was my opinion, did I not?

    We are lucky we didnt play the Saints or Packers.

    So are you saying Brees or Rodgers would have only thrown 1 td against us also? Wow I guess the Pats D isn't so bad after all. What am I thinking?

    I love the Giants, and I love Eli, but the idea that he is as good as Peyton is simply preposterous. He's turned into a great QB who is fantastic in big games, but Peyton is historically great. Let's enjoy Eli's season and Super Bowl performance, and not even worry about comparisons to his brother.

    I say yes, CURRENTLY Eli is better than Peyton.. Peyton is old and on his way out, Eli is just coming in to his prime.. If I could pick one or the other to be my quarterback for the next 3 years? sorry folks it is Eli.. Peyton is putting himself out there to tarnish his image by joining another team..

    All-Time?? gotta be Peyton.. I know he doesn't have the hardware, but in his prime he was way better..

    Yeah, I get that Eli is better now and probably for the foreseeable future. I just can't believe anyone is comparing their career accomplishments. Again, I think Eli is great, Peyton was just greater.

    Like I said before, I love both players. Peyton is a better regular season player than Eli, no doubt about that. But come playoff time, I'll take Eli all the time.

    Really, the only reason I would take Eli for the future comes down to his being younger able to keep the qb position solidified for longer. If we're talkin strictly skill level and of course Peyton coming back close to 100% I'd still take him over Eli.

    Right, my preference for Eli is primarily based on health and age. Seriously, what am incredibly talented family.

    Who's better than his brother Joe? Dominic DiMaggio.


    Wasn't actually true of Dom, and it sure as hell isn't true about Eli.



    Although both have proven great.

    Sorry, that's what I meant to say. Excited for both games, but I'll be at the home opener against the Broncos. Can't wait.

    I know! It's going to be my 2nd NFL game. Was in Dallas last year for Thanksgiving against the Redskins. I'd like to plan a trip every year around a football game and see as many teams as I can. If I see the Eagles next year I will complete the NFC East, lol.

    I will say Eli is more clutch. And when he's playing well, he really is amazing.

    Peyton is better in every conceivable way except one... being a champion. As a Giants fan, I'll take it.

    Giants were 10-6 and 9-7 when they won. Their defense was not great.
