Eli Manning better than Philip Rivers?

Any and all comparisons of Eli Manning to Philip Rivers depicting Manning as superior in any way, shape or form are both false and strictly forbidden, and as a result grounds for a Ban.
In the words of Wonko:
Rivers. What was the question?

has actually looked very good in the games I’ve seen him in this year. I hear he is inconsistent, but he really has done a great job buying time with his feet and making accurate throws. I am off the “Eli sucks” bandwagon. I think he is probably in the “not quite Rodgers or Brees, but above the Romo” tier.

There, I said it.

I wanted to yell out “Rodgers!” like the guy in the State Farm commercial. What’s wrong with me?

This comparison will go on forever until Rivers gets a ring. You must remember though, Eli has had a better offensive line than Rivers. I mean just look what happened when the Cargers O’line began to play with cohesiveness with Gaither. Rivers started to tear it up in passing yardage again. Give Rivers a full season of a good O’line and see what happens then.

Rivers is much more prolific than Eli hands down. Had his ACL not ben torn and if LT wouldn’t of got hurt in that titan game we would of ran all over the Pats and went on to win the superbowl. When I think of eli all I see is pick city.

I know its not always the case but it seems as if there have been more times than not that Rivera folded during games thar we needed him to kill it. But as much as I hate Eli, his super bowl run , where he single handedly beat the crap out of every team in the playoffs will always stand out.
I know I’m probably totally wrong on this… But just the first thought that comes to mind when comparing.

and because I feel like he could be elevated to godlike status if he were plied with the weapons and system of some other QBs. Can you imagine him in New Orleans’s shotgun-happy offense? Holy crap, he’d shatter every record on the books.

Right now, I’d honestly have to concede that Aaron Rogers has the best skillset. Drew Brees is indubitably talented, but benefits from greater consistency in his teammates and a more pass-oriented offense. Peyton is aging and didn’t play last season, so he’s out of the “right now” discussion. I refuse to vote for Tom “L’Oreal” Brady, even though he’s clearly top-tier. Eli and Rapistberger are a step below the truly elite signal-callers…

and Tim Tebow doesn’t belong in this discussion, period. “All he does is win”, my ass— in the first four quarters against Pittsburgh, he threw forty-five percent. I don’t know anyone else who could get away with that in a playoff game without getting benched.

Dont bring up Palmer, first off, Rivers is top 5, but please, he is no better than Rodgers or Brees or Brady, OR a healthy Manning…he is a tough guy with great skill that lacks that ’’it’’, but of course, who will pay attention to the Raider fan xD

Its about 1 thing…..Winning the Super Bowl. Eli has, Phillip has not. Is it all his fault? Not at all. All of the talent around him keeps disappearing (LT, Turner, Sproles, Cromartie). AJ has it in his head that as long as Rivers is under center the team will be just fine and win a few games. Sooner or later Rivers will get tired of losing and ask for a trade or worse even AJ will just give him away like he does every other good player we have had. Phillip Rivers gets my vote but its all for not. Eli plays in the NFC Championship next week and Rivers will be watching it on TV.

It is NOT about the guys under center it IS about the guys calling the shots in their cozy offices upstairs. This is a little off topic but there is a point to be made: Kobe Bryant was arguably the best player in the NBA yet the team never could win the big one until…….Kobe said get me some talent to play with or I am out of here. Buss listened. The Lakers won a championship. Period. Seems to me the Chargers are trending in the opposite direction and my fear is this: With as intense as PR is and how badly he wants to win how long will it be until…………..
