I've never watched Rivers play a game and thought to myself "This guy really sucks".

I've said that several times every time I've ever had to sit through a Giants mandatory NFC East primetime game.

Lmao you complain about people moving goalposts to career td:int but cite winz in a sample size of 11 as the defining factor making Eli better

Nah I've been sticking to the same argument the entire time. Rivers isn't that good, it shows in the playoffs, Eli has rings, etc, etc

Goons sure do love regular season stats over tangible success.

I do think there's something to be said for Rivers winning a game in the playoffs 4/6 years he's been there, and Eli failing to do so every time but the two Superbowl runs. But yeah, otherwise seems like if you're just talking playoffs, fair enough. I'm not sure the 11 and 12 playoff games should totally outweigh the 200+ regular season games each has played when you want to argue who is more talented or whatever, but two Superbowls is a pretty nice consolation for some less good regular season play.

My favorite thing to do is watch film and discern talent. I mean I've spent over a decade doing draft analysis on this forum alone as a hobby. It bothers me how much Eli gets poo poo on due to bad narratives and how much Rivers gets praised despite his deficiencies. I don't claim that Eli is a generational QB or an all timer, but he's definitely better than Rivers. Both QBs are a full tier down below the truly great QBs like Brady, Brees, Peyton, and Rodgers. Ben may be better than both of them.

But nope, I'm a Giants homer apparently.

It's really difficult to when the Giants miss the playoffs so frequently. One bad loss against the Packers in the last eight seasons. Tell me again how Regular Season Eli isn't important. :jerkbag:

You aren't very good at discerning talent when your only arguments are an 11 game sample size versus a 200+ game body of work, Rivers' throwing motion that leads to a higher completion percentage than Eli, and ringz

He's been to the playoffs as much as regular season darling Philip Rivers. In the last eight seasons he also has a super bowl win. Welp.

I am when I watch Rivers in offenses surrounded by Ladanian Tomlinson and Antonio Gates. He hasn't had slouch WRs the entire time either, or much better olines than Eli.

He also plays in the NFC East, where the barrier to entry is "we have a team that doesn't hate each other" and not the AFC West where the barrier to entry is 11-5 or higher.

Also being in the AFC which is full of Brady, Ben, and Peyton. The (better) QBs responsible for all of Rivers' playoff losses except for one.

Must be nice to be in the NFC where you can lose to Jake Delhomme and Donovan McNabb

Well you do realize the NFC East has had more wins since both came into the league. The AFC West has only recently been tougher.

Still counts.

I have never shouted "What the gently caress are you doing?" at Phillip Rivers. I have shouted it several times at Eli Manning. Sorry your ~game tape~ missed those dumb plays.

Don't get me wrong Eli is a much dumber QB than Rivers. That's where Can He Ball comes in. Eli's more physically talented but Rivers definitely beats him in the mental game.

im not going to look this up but i guarantee since both came into the league the nfce has been a harder division.

obviously you had the late state dementia raiders years, but there were several seasons where the chiefs and chargers were just god awful.

better stats = better player is a strong argument when it's two guys at the same position, with the same style of play (pocket passer), came into the league at the same time, and the sample size is 15 NFL seasons

The AFC West since Rivers was drafted always had a dominant team (Early on the Chargers, then Denver during Peyton, currently KC, lol Raiders) but usually the other three teams were middling at best. Last year was the first season in a long time two really strong teams came out of the AFC West

Hindsight's a bitch, but you could make the argument for the 12-4 Raiders being a strong team until they self-destructed in the playoffs a couple years ago. I'd personally pick teams 11-5 or better. Twice that was the Chiefs while Peyton was still around, should count.

I sincerely hope the Giants continue to employ Eli Manning because he's "solid" or won some superbowl rings in the past. It has been really amusing to watch him spend the Romo years carving up bad secondaries only to get owned repeatedly by Rod Marinelli.

Eli had a statistically good year the same year everyone went straight to the moon when they changed how they called defensive penalties.

Also his arm is so broken they traded OBJ because they couldn't use his route tree anymore
