The Giants did a better job of putting a better team around Eli, but Rivers was better than Eli and Merriman and Keading were good players. Yes, the Giants won 2 SBs, but those had more to do with the team around Eli than Eli being great. Eli was a good QB, not great. Eli was actually a great playoff QB if I recall unlike his brother whose playoff performances were quite average. Problem for Eli was he was not as good during the season.

Problem for Eli was he was not as good during the season. Here are Eli’s playoff stats: Stats aren’t everything, but I’d say far from great. He had a couple of great plays (the throw to David Tyree and the one to Manningham), but other than that we was pretty pedestrian. The two Super Bowl runs he was very good, but I’d argue Rivers is still the better QB though he doesn’t have the playoff success. With that being said, I’m sure the Giants are happy with how things turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting - it makes sense we remember the 2 great runs and forget the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, Manning had a great career in New York but Tom Coughlin was WAY better than Norv Turner and Mike McCoy as coaches particularly in the playoffs.

I_C_Deadpeople Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 And if I said Tom Coughlin would not have won any Super Bowls with Dalton as QB would that stir the pot here (again!!)..LOL KIDDING, lets let that rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to win the big one with a loose rocket back there and that's what Rivers was/is. Not my kind of QB. Give me Eli over Rivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
