Lots of talk radio discussion surrounding Eli being the better QB of the two Manning brothers if he should win his second Super Bowl on Sunday. I think this is ridiculous talk.
While Eli will have two rings, I don't think his body of work, at this point shows him to be better than Peyton. The rationale of having more Super Bowl rings than someone else seems to me extremely flawed. If we went that route, would Terry Bradshaw be the greatest QB of all-time?
To expand that to other positions, would Jack Lambert be the greatest middle linebacker, although many say Ray Lewis is the greatest.
Now, I am a Steelers homer and would never place Bradshaw as the greatest QB of all-time, top 10, yes, but it seems to be irrational to place someone better solely based on the rings on their fingers.
