Here's the question: If the Giants go to the Superbowl and win, can Eli be considered better than Peyton? Discuss.
Well... here are some categories and after that, how some factors help Peyton out, whether he is really the better brother or not.
Arm Strength - Eli
Accuracy - Peyton (but after this year, with all the game winning drives, it's a tight race)
Leadership - Peyton (he's older, so it's a given)
Football IQ - Peyton (but once again, this season is making this section a tight one)
Escapability - Eli
Clutch a.k.a. Grit - People will argue this, but Eli! Game winning drives... he has been relentless and has the "never give up" attitude.
Here are other factors which make comparing them difficult...
Peyton has to throw, no running game. Eli has to run it because Coughlin is a ground and pound kind of dude.
Peyton plays in a climate controlled environment... no extra wind (or mother nature) to contend with. Eli has more chances of losing control of the ball because of those conditions.
The Texans just became relevant... Before that, who was Peyton really going against? Eli is in the hardest division.
Eli's receivers haven't been consistent... and when I say consistent, I mean in keeping healthy and with 3 different tight ends since he's been in NY (8 years?). Peyton has Dallas Clark and for the most part, healthy receivers.
I will also thank you for the luck... this thread helped.I'm going with Eli. Two rings and a great performance tonight. Congrats to the Giants.
