Peyton Manning vs. Eli Manning?

Both of these quarterbacks have been great in the NFL. They are brothers and they have some of the best throwing accuracy in all of football. So who is better and why?

Peyton will forever remain my favorite.

However, Eli Manning is a special quarterback. The man is clutch in the play offs and he has won the championship twice now.

There is no doubting his talent anymore. He might end up going ahead of his brother when all things are said and done. Two of the finest QBs to play the game.

For them to be brothers is special.

I'm a Peyton fan, too. I think Eli is a better physical player, but Peyton has a better head for the game.

Would be cool to see what would have happened if their older brother Cooper had been able to play.

They are both great players and have different strengths so it's difficult to choose between them. Imagine what it would be like if you could combine them into a single player!!

I am a fan of both of these quarterbacks.

However, even as a fan I like Eli because he seems to perform better under pressure and battles through the injuries he has. Now this is not to say Peyton would not battle the injuries, but it seems to me he has slacked off of his game after he landed his big contracts. Not sure if that is just me or not, but it does seem like this.

I think in terms of leadership, you have to go with Peyton. He is one of the best players to ever play quarterback and his football IQ is second to none. Eli in my opinion has the better intangibles and simply gets the job done on the field.

I have to agree Peyton does have the leadership. Now I know this is something I have thought about for a while, but the true test will be how Peyton adjust in Denver. Without knowing about this it is impossible to actually judge his leadership. In Indy he walked into the team and was the man right away and had a chance to establish himself. Denver is different because they already have quite a few players who are set in their ways.

I am also interested to see how he adjust in Denver. I think he is a good fit, and I believe he can take them farther than Tim Tebow did last year.

Peyton is more flashy but Eli is more Money. The thing is Peyton is a more steady bet. Eli can drive you crazy but something happens to this guy when the pressure is at the highest. When there is no reason in the world for this guy to win he seems to win the most.

The two players are extremely different in terms of their playing style. Peyton is a fly by the seat of his pants quarterback who likes to change plays at the line of scrimmage, which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. Eli is a more calculated player who seems to be more willing to take direction from the offensive coordinator than Peyton. Both are succesful in their styles, but I like Eli's low key approach to his job over Peyton's superstar attitude.
