or at least maintain same level of his current plays for another year before people can put him above Peyton. Peyton was a top 3 quarterback before 2011 season.
The advantage of Eli is his age. Peyton suffered severe neck injury & approaches to the end of his career, while Eli is relatively young (30 years old) & entering his prime.
I am happy for Eli because he is always a "team first" guy. He took a lot of craps but never yielded or faltered. He is hard-working, smart, skillful and humble. More importantly, he has a strong will and focus to succeed. A classy Giants quarterback.
He is the type of athlete I root for.
