That's fine and all but he's already getting paid elite qb money. Are you going to restructure his contract every time an elite qb signs a huge deal to ensure he's the highest paid qb? I'm just saying his 100 mil contract is pretty recent, I wouldn't feel pressured to do anything about it until the deal is about to expire.

Eli isn't close to being the QB that Brees is. That's why SB wins doesn't really show you who's a better player. Shows you who is playing on a better team.

Very true, but remember this is a QB driven league, and the giants were good because of their QB running their offense. Cruz, Nicks, Bradshaw, Ballard would be nothing if it weren't for Manning. David Carr was their backup. You think that team would still be good with Carr as their starter? I think the Saints with Chase Daniel would still be a good team, similar to the patriots with Cassel. Brees is the 2nd best QB in the league, but to say Eli isn't close to being the QB that Brees is, is not correct. Because people judge players on Super Bowls. Eli has 2. Brees has 1. Keep in mind that Bree's offense is more pass happy where as the Giants is more balanced.

lol Eli is a solid QB, but not close to the same level as Drew. Not close...lol

Closer comparison is Romo and Eli

As great as Drew Brees is, I'm not sure I would've given him that kind of money. That's A LOT of dough. How are they going to sign the rest of their guys? 40 mil in the first year??? (shake head) But it's not like they had a choice. They needed him simply for the stability alone.

I hope we have this sort of "problem" in 5 years.

Did he fall off the gravy train again? I thought his recent resurgence was a good sign.

Call me crazy but I don't think brees is really that far ahead of Eli. He's better yes but you guys make Manning out to be alex Smith or something
