Oh please with the notion that Peyton's weapons were worse. That argument is poo with anyone that knows anything about football.

defense is a weapon far more important than any individual receiver, and the colts D is and has been awful

harrison, wayne etc. are/were good receivers with a great QB

nicks is a great receiver with a good QB

Peyton in his prime vs Eli in his prime.

Thats a no brainer, peyton.

Both have good receivers, but the Giants have a much better running game and defense for the last few years.

Right now though, well since Peyton might never play again, that one is easy. :)

I think its a no brainer in the regular season. First 9 games head to head in the playoffs. Theres a legit argument.

Peyton is in the convo for greatest regular season QB ever.

Eli is only 2/3 of the QB that Peyton was

You have got to realize, unlike Peyton, who was given free reign to mold a team the way he wanted. Eli is part of a franchise with some history. Unlike his brother, Eli has to be part of that legacy and not try to re-invent the wheel with the Giants.

I always felt Eli was equal to his brother but it's clear who the media choose and Eli had to play second fiddle.

Im talking about two QBs head to head, not the teams.

And there is no way you can just say Harrison, Wayne, and Clark were just some guys and Peyton made them great. Did Joe Montana make Jerry Rice great? Did Aikman make Irvin?

You know it is possible to have a great receiver and a great QB right?

    • Jake in his prime was a gutsy QB. But just like with even someone like Cam. Father time is undefeated. It's very unfortunate we have a guy who is only 24 years old that has an equivalent arm to that. Absolutely blows my mind that our brain trust lacked the basic common sense to value arm talent when making a massive trade with ramifications for years to come. Unforgivable incompetence.
    • Jake, to me, will always hold a special place in my heart.  I really feel like for his era, he deserved way more love than he got, and should’ve had more than his one Pro Bowl.  He was a gamer with an underrated rocket arm. but let me tell you, after his Tommy John surgery, when he came back, I can’t remember who it was against, but it think it was a division game, he threw a ball that was supposed to be a throw away, as I think he was under pressure, and that poo floated forever and died right at the boundary where a defender ran over and picked it off.  One of the worst throws I ever saw.  His arm just wasn’t the same after the injury and surgery.  All that to say, that’s what almost every Bryce throw to the sidelines looks like to me.
    • And again, when watching him in college he had one distinct trait that I feel makes a franchise QB - on those plays when everything breaks down around him, he creates one on his own.  He doesn’t rely on or need everyone else.  That play last night on the final drive where he was getting sacked and threw it to Diggs before his knee hit the ground?  He does similar things all the time.  Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc., they all do it.  It’s what made Cam so special. but we picked a guy that’s the opposite of that.  He desperately needs someone else to make a play for him because he can’t.  Even that play yesterday on 4th down to Horn.  That wasn’t a great pass.  The defender was late and came down to make a play in the ball and Bryce threw it high and outside where Horn had to leave his feet and really use strong hands to catch it.  We relied on a 5’9” rookie playing in his first pro game to make THAT catch at THAT time bc of the early turnovers and a not great throw.  Crazy.
