How many is that? That took me less than a minute.

Joe Namath? lol C'mon man. What are you, Bobby Brady?

I also wouldn't put Favre, Tarkenton or Fouts ahead of Eli. To me, Namath and Favre are the two most overrated NFL players of all time.

Eli is better than Staubach, Tarkenton, Namath (what a joke that you'd put that hack anywhere on this list), Fouts and Aikman.

Either stats, moments, hardware or all three in some cases.

Look..Eli is NOT great. He's very good.
There's nothing wrong with that. But he has too many ups and downs. Its just who he is. Most of us are fine with it. We know who he is.

Some delusional posters just won't accept it.

I usually stay out of these debates because I wouldn't want any QB for our team other than Eli, so what's the point of arguing whether or not he is "great" or "very good"?

Roger Staubach is a top 5 all time QB. You want to talk about clutch.

Now I know you're all nuts.

Because some of these guys want to put him in the stratosphere and that's just nuts.
I will challenge nutty behavior.

You just cant give the guy a compliment without adding an insult.... it's funny really. With that being said, I would certainly Eli over Ben, would you not agree?
