Well I dont agree with him but he is closer than some will admit. IMO, there a few QBs that are elite like Brady, then there is a class of QBs that are very good. Then a whole bunch of good ones followed by average followed by rentals.

Eli is in the category under the elite ones, but ahead of the bunch of good ones.

There are 3 elite QBs.

Manning (the other one)
Brees
Brady

There are others who are capable of flashes of greatness -- even prolonged stretches of it -- but those 3 are in a class of their own.

I would say Aaron Rodgers is an elite QB

That's like the guy who tells his friends how tough he is. If you are the one saying it, that means no one else is saying it. I'm surprised he didn't think he would jinx himself by saying that. After all, he is "a little -stitious."

lol is that really the only other thing Eli could have said? How about something like: I'm working to be in the class with Tom Brady. And leave it at that because although he may not need to worship the ground Brady walks on, Eli can't hold a shoe to him right now.

No, he really is! Eli is just as good as Peyton too - his Daddy told him so!
