NFL questions for those in the know (have just watched Draft Day)

Ahhh.... yes..... Eli Manning.

Peyton's baby brother who inexplicably won two Super Bowls with the NY Giants. As inconsistent a QB as has ever played the game. The 3rd best QB in his own family (father Archie was a QB also). I'm sure San Diego isn't too broken up about getting the tough Rivers instead of the pampered Eli.

I grew up watching Archie manning...He could run (given the horrible Saints of the era, he had to) and he could throw. If he played today, with the read option, etc...he'd give his eldest a run for his money.

Good point. He never had a good supporting cast. It would be a close battle between Archie and Peyton. Eli can be good (right now he's having a good game against the Redskins). But he's inconsistent as hell and he's been damn lucky to have some very good Giants teams around him. No contest.
