Quote:Below is a link to a (preseason) list from NFL.com. It has Smith higher than Eli. This season Smith has played somewhat better, and his team has won a lot more games, so, if anything, their play has only improved Smith's position compared to Eli.

All I said was that he was "arguably" better, meaning that some people would claim he was better. I never claimed he was better. I expect the results would be mixed if you asked 100 pundits who was the better QB. That's the meaning of "arguably." You asked what criteria might be used. I provided QB rating. I never said that it was definitive. No doubt there are other factors that favor Eli, such as arm strength, Superbowl wins, ...


Frankly, if you want to claim Eli is better I have no problem with it. Your claim that Eli is a franchise QB and Smith isn't puzzles me. Do you really see that much difference between the two?
 

Yes, and it's clear when you watch them play.

 

Alex Smith is the culmination of a Blaine Gabbert level QB.

 

Eli Manning is more on the Tony Romo/Jay Cutler level, but I'd much rather have a QB that will make some plays from time to time than a QB that I can only count on to play from ahead.
