    NO!

    Brady and Rothlisberger deserve to be there, but peyton and eli are over-rated and Brees is better than both of them

  • No, Eli is not in that class. He's very good, but not elite. I know he won a Super Bowl; but the Giants as a team were better than Eli as an individual that season. Their defense, in particular, took over that Super Bowl with the Patriots.

    Right now I would say the three best QB's are Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, and a healthy Tom Brady.

    The second tier are guys like Phillip Rivers, Donovan McNabb, Eli Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Tony Romo, and Ben Roethlisberger.

    Hell no.

    Have you seen him pass a ball? His spiral is awful and lopsided. He's also very innacurate and a poor decision maker.

    Without Burress he was nothing. He's glad he had B. Jacobs and Ward to help him in the backfield and an outstanding offensive line. The Giants defense is really good too.

    I put Eli Manning as a Top 15 QB. Ben Roethlisberger isn't a elite QB either.

    Here's a List:

    1.) Tom Brady

    2.) Peyton Manning

    3.) Drew Brees

    4.) Donavan McNabb

    5.) Carson Palmer

    6.) Kurt Warner

    7.) Phillip Rivers

    8.) Matt Hassellback

    9.) Aaron Rodgers

    10.) Jay Cutler

    The Steelers win despite Roethlisberger Neither he nor Eli are elite

    The best 3 are Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, and a healthy Tom Brady

    Rothelisberger and Eli aren't elite QBs.

    They are both mediocre at best and much of their teams' success can be attributed to their defense, offensive lines, and RBs.

    Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Kurt Warner are the elites.

    These are Eli's awards so far in the NFL:

    * 2008: Super Bowl XLII Most Valuable Player[79]

    * 2008: November NFC Offensive Player of the Month[80]

    * 2009: 1× Pro Bowl Selection[70]

    I can't fit even Ben's accomplishments in one Yahoo answer, so I'm going to say that no, he is not in their league.

  • 1st off i'd consider Brees, Rivers, and McNabb better than Roethisberger.

    and no, i think Eli makes too many mistakes to be considered as 1 of the leagues best QBs.

    You can immediately take out Burgerhead, but no he isn't in the same class as Peyton or Brady. He's below Rivers, Brees, and McNabb as well.

    Heck no. Ben isn't an elite QB either.

    Peyton, Brady and Brees are the three elite quarterbacks.
