Ill be the first to admit that Eli is a great quarterback, but in no way shape or form is he in Brady's class....that is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard...Eli is an elite quarterback, but brady is in a whole other class with guys like montana....
you cant say he is just cause he beat brady twice in the super bowl...the super bowl isnt brady against eli...its the patriots against the giants.....for one secong, imagine if the two were switched, brady on the giants and eli on the pats....if brady had the giants recievers, going up against the pats pitiful defense he would put up 80 points...you cant say that eli beat brady in these games, especially the first one when eli ddint play good at all...
the giants beat the pats, not eli beat brady
before i hear any bullcrap that eli is in the same category as brady.....i looked up some stats on what kind of records each hold....READ IT AND WEEP

Wow, not really much of a list huh???? _________________
Eli is now officially an elite quarterback but not on the same level as I like to call it. Wait and see how the rest of his career turns out because at this point I wouldn't doubt how good of a QB Eli can be in the future.
One thing is for sure, the Giants defense beat the Patriots in the first Super Bowl. Eli had that awesome scramble play near the end to help the Giants win but it was the Giants awersome defense that beat Tom Brady and the Patriots in Super Bowl 42. Tom has too many records and great performances and Montana-like stats to say Eli is on that same level or in the same class. Eli is making people think twice about their top 5 active quarterbacks list though. He's stepped out of Peyton's shadow and is ready to make his own path to the Hall of Fame.
thank you destroyer...its nice to have one person with some sense
even someone like aaron rodgers, who is the best qb in the league right now, is not near brady...these guys have to consistently play this good for years to be mentioned in the same breath as brady....and before th comment is thrown out there, that im only saying it because the giants beat the pats, as you can see, it has nothing to do with it...rodgers, brees, eli, none of them are at the level of brady....lets let eli play a little more before we call him one of the greatest ever _________________
This past decade the 2 greatest QB's were Tom Brady and Peyton Manning....then there's everyone else. Now in this new decade Brady is still playing at a very high level but passing skills....Brees and Rodgers are now on that elite level. Look at the insane numbers Brees and Rodgers are putting up. We have never seen this many quarterbacks playing so great at the same time in NFL history. This is an exciting time to be an NFL fan.
My own list of the 5 best QB's right now (best QB skills) is....
yeah, he has been struggling under pressure lately...ever since he marride gisele, his play changed....until the 1st giants super bowl, brady was considered the best clutch qb ever....no one ever wanted him to have the ball at the end of the game, now, teams arent that scared _________________
I don't think I would say that teams aren't as scared of Brady now. That last touchdown by the Giants in the Super Bowl was an accident. Eli was yelling at him to not run into the endzone because he didn't want Brady to have a minute left. The running back said he couldn't resist scoring but to me it looked like he accidently fell into the endzone. Teams are still scared to give Brady enough time to make a game winning drive.
yea, teams still worry about giving him the ball at the end, but its nothing like it was a few years ago...if brady got the ball with any amount of time at the end of the game, it was almost automatic he would put up points _________________

Here's the play again....
Haha, even though it was an accident -- it still looked so cool. Lol.
