I think it has to do with how well they work with thier system and thier team, peyton has a great offense to work with, would eli be as good if he was passing for the colts?

Oh, here we go again!! Why must ppl compare these two all the time. I don't see anyone comparing Tiki and Ronde as football players. Eli is his own person and has his own way of doing things. Yeah Peyton has a better record, but he also has a few years on Eli. Why can't ppl just accept them for who they are as individuals? Geezzzzzzzzz! Eli is an awesome QB and has has his ups and downs this year but when he plays like he did Sunday against the Cowboys, then I think he's just as good as Peyton. The Giants have alot of injuries and they have had alot of bad luck on penalties this year, thus the record of the Giants team. Eli may not have as good of instincts as Peyton right now, but he has time to work on all the things he needs to do to lead a team to a winning season.
~~~~~~~~~~GO GIANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Eli doesn't quite have the supporting cast Peyton does to help him, yet.
Seems to me that Peyton, although he was pretty good early on, had the likes of Harrison, the Edge and a decent offensive line that helped his development speed along. Eli has Burress...who is no Harrison...he does have Tiki, who's retiring after this season...and he has a coach with lots of question marks surrounding him.
Jury will never have a true answer on this unless the Giants get better, simply put.

No, Peyton right now is uncomparable to the rest of the quaterbacks in the league. Peyton is becoming a legend of the game. Eli on the other hand still has growing to do, even though by looking at statistics, he is doing better than Peyton did at his point in his career. Eli needs to prove his worth.

Eli has the physical skills, but his brother is a student of the game and has study skills in the film room that are unique. It's Wednesday in the film room where the Colts are really winning games. You'll note that there isn't a pile of other NFL teams switching to the Colts' system of play-calling. Unique brain first, good arm a distant second.

Peyton is a better quarterback than his brother Eli. Peyton makes the Colts better than the Giants with his skills. I do not think that Eli would make a great quarterback for the Colts.

No. First, Eli shouldn't even be a starter anymore. Second, nobody is as good as Peyton right now.

I do not think he will ever catch up to his brother. Peyton has a special gift that Eli does not have

are you serious eli manning has a supporting cast the same way peyon manning does but eli manning still sucks and probably won't ever be as good as his brother peyton is and i don't see any of them winning a superbowl anytime soon if ever and if you think i'm nuts about eli having a good supporting cast he has jeremy shockey plaxico burress amani toomer who's out at the moment and tiki barber
