Not sure why you're hating on Eli. Without him the Cheats would probably have won 8* Superbowls.

I'll always thank him before bed for that.
He's just the poster boy for the argument. Easiest to point out, plus I still have PTSD from people arguing that he was better than Peyton because of this.
Not that it's not dumb to judge QBs so heavily on team accomplishments in the most team-oriented sport... But if we're going to do that...
Eli's 8-4 record looks great because he missed the playoffs 10 out 16 years. 8-14 record is more accurate to what he was.
