1. Brady

2T. Rodgers, Brees

4. Roethlisberger

5. Rivers

6T. Romo, Ryan

8. Eli

I'm not counting guys like Peyton or Schaub who have had injuries, or people like Newton and Stafford that haven't had the years behind them like these other guys do...

Have you seen Romo and Ryan playoff performances? Rivers is on the decline and Ben has a top 5 D.

How could you argue for Romo but not Rivers?

I think they are both better than Eli.

Romo gets a bad wrap but he honestly isn't that bad. Yeah he definitely folds in crucial moments and that's why I said I disagreed with putting him over Eli. Just saying you could make the argument just based on stats that Romo is up there.

Rivers on the other hand... he was awful last year. Not bottom 5 Jimmy Clausen awful, but he did not play like he did in recent years(20 picks...)

The Giants still would have won if GB put up 5 TDs..

Not going to necessarily disagree because it's hard to argue about changed scenarios. I don't think the Giants would have put up 37 points with a Packers offense putting together complete drives and thus altering the time of possession.

If 20 interceptions this past season proved something about Rivers, what did 25 interceptions from Eli the previous season prove about him?

are we basing this off of careers now? I'm going off who is the better QB NOW(as in this season).

and FWIW, I'm pretty sure there is a youtube video that shows every one of Eli's interceptions last year. I hate pulling the tipped ball interception card, but holy poo his receivers accounted for so many picks. Hell, just in week one against us I remember there being like 3 tipped balls off the receivers hands for interceptions.

This is a good observation. Tipped interceptions, depending on the scenario, shouldn't be blamed on the QB.

It's just a hard argument to use because it happens to every QB. I just remember Eli's picks last year being on the receivers more often than not.

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
