With Bens performance so far in his career I have to give the nod to Manning being better now and when he peaks. |
LMAO. Eli looks like a scared little wuss out there, always has. Ben, when healthy is far superior. Lets not forget that Ben's targets are significantly lesser than Eli's.....proof here is that Eli's favorite target USED to be Ben's favorite target (Burress). Now he's stuck throwing to Ward, who IMO isn't as good as Burress (as evidenced by Ben's choice of WRs when he had them both). Throw in the more experienced Shockey vs Miller, Toomer and Hilliard vs the great Cedric Wilson and Holmes. Nearly 2000 yard rusher in Tiki. Pretty easy to see that Eli has better tools to work with, and hasn't had to battle injuries. Plus, who's won a SB? Don't forget that Ben got the Steelers to big leads in EVERY playoff game leading to the SB, by passing the ball, and his stats don't reflect that cause Cowher pounded the ball in the 2nd half AFTER Ben got the lead for us. Right now it all comes down to injuries, and Ben has battled them, Eli hasn't, simple as that. If Ben's able to fully recover he's the better QB by far.
