I think its a discussion that merits order, but should not jack Keggers thread.
Personally I think Eli is a better QB than Roethlisberger, who benefits from a Good Oline, a Good Defense and a good running game generally every year.
Both are good leaders, and they are great game managers, but I think Eli's season this year proves he is better.
He had to go on the road in the playoffs to the who's who of media love QB's and America's team of the future, and the past, he had to beat Tony Romo in Dallas, Then he had to go beat the packers and Brett Farve in Green bay in January, (how many QB's have done that?) Oh and then he had to knock off America's Golden Boy and the best team ever, favored by two touchdowns, the next joe montana, Tom Brady, and America's Patriots. Oh and Eli did that in style, with a last minute fourth quarter drive where he is fighting and gritty, and yes the rest of his team plays excellent all night, but so does he, including a TD pass to take the lead with under a min. Which was set up by avoiding being sacked in what some call the greatest play of any super bowl.
Not to mention he ruined Brady and Moss's perfect season, Way to get your records this season fellas, shame you didn't have something new to show em in the super bowl...
gotta go with Eli.
