So Right now...Peyton or Eli?

Let's be real, if you were to put up Peyton against Eli in an eight year period, which is as long as Eli has been in the NFL, Eli is better. They were even discussing that tonight on NFLN. Peyton may be a bit better than Eli in stats during the season but as far as actual accomplishments, which means SB wins, Eli has the upper hand. And Eli has a better post season run than his brother.

Lets be real, SB wins are a team accomplishment. When you are comparing QB stats, Eli hasn't always been better and until recently it hasn't even been close.

2005 Peyton had better season and post season stats, both one and done.

2006 Peyton had better season and Colts won the Superbowl

2007 Peyton had better season but Giants won Superbowl

2008 Peyton had a better both, both one and done.

2009 Peyton had better season and Eli misses playoffs.

2010 same story.

You can argue Eli is better now, but to say Eli has always been better (which was your original claim) is 100% false and there is absolutely nothing that supports it

This argument like most others around here comes down to how short term your memory is.

Seeing as I was only talking about the playoffs, there is nothing wrong with my memory. And I NEVER said that Peyton was better than Eli.

And I just want this thread to die now.

1) because my original post and the argument I wanted to get across do not match

2) I'm tired of talking about it. (my fault for bumping it)

    • I liked him when he was at Michigan because I'm a Wolverine homer. After that... 
    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.
