Quote:Eli has been going through his own struggles the past few years. At least in 2015 when Blake was slinging passes downfield, he was flat out at that time the better passer.

That doesn't answer the question. 

 

Saying "Blake played better in this 6 game stretch than Eli did at a different 6 game stretch" doesn't justify saying he's the better QB. 

 

I like Bortles and hope he realizes his potential to be as good or better than Eli Manning.  But he hasn't shown that yet.  

His decision making, ability to go through his progressions, and his ability to read opposing defenses is lacking pretty sorely when compared to Eli Manning. 

 

Despite Manning's accuracy issues in recent stretches he does in fact have 5 seasons recorded in which he threw for a completion rate of over 62%.

Bortles has never crossed 59%.  This is the most glaring difference to me. 

 

Eli is smarter and more accurate. I have hope for Blake though.
