I think a lot of people have written him off already

1. It doesn't matter if they did because with the talent on their team they would probably have lost in the wildcard round and then have no headstart on next season, when they will have a better chance to go deep.

2. You can't second guess a team for taking Eli over Big Ben, because Eli was clearly a higher rated QB at the time and nobody could have guessed Big Bens success. That being said, Pittsburghs success isn't lying on their quarterback, he is just one small part in it. If he was put in the same situation as Eli I doubt he would be doing the same thing he is in Pittsburgh. Thats just my opinions though.
