    Eli certainly is not slam dunk better, neither is Rodgers or Ben. Again, he is leading the NFL in TDs and yards, until that changes drastically, I am gonna include him in my top 5

    You're wrong again. Schaub is well above average. IMO.

    The dude has also been putting up the stats WITHOUT a running game (until this past Sunday) and a not so great defense.

    The only ones of those that are clearly better are Peyton, Brady, and Brees. The others are pretty comparable. Except for Eli, he's clearly worse.

    He is clearly better for the first 5 games of the year. He is clearly worse for the last 3. The last 3 games for the giants all came against teams with a winning record. Only 1 of the last 3 for Matt, with only 2 for the entire season.

    In the last 3 years, Schaub has had a better QB rating every single year. Granted, Schaub only played 11 games the first 2 years, but his worst QB rating was 87.2 while Eli's best was 86.4 Career rating for Schaub is 89.8 while for Eli it's 77.1.

    You look at stats like passing percentage and y/a and Schaub is clearly better there as well.

    The first five games for the Giants included four of the worst teams in the NFL - Washington, Tampa Bay, Kansas City, and Oakland. TB has no wins, KC has a win over Washington, Washington has 2 wins over winless teams, and Oakland has a win over KC, along with the one legit win vs. Philly.

    I didnt see the game but judging by the box score, Young played well. I thought he was going to fall flat on his face, but he proved me wrong. I still dont think he is any teams answer at QB, but I'll give him his props for playing well.

    Doesn't hurt to have a 220yd game by your RB either... Damn Johnson is a beast and MIGHT even be the best RB in the NFL, not named Adrian Peterson

    They did not do much passing in the 2nd half. I would like to see them open it up a bit and let him air it out a little more. The biggest plus he brought last week was the plays he made with his feet. He got 3-4 first downs by extending plays in a way Collins could not.

    Vince Young just wins.

    Did you see how he used his mind to force Alex Smith to make those interceptions?


    Amazing.

    humorist, not a "hate"

    Hate is reserved for the Utah Jazz.
