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.

Anyone who has written him off doesn't know their ass from their elbow. It's too early to decide. Don't forget Pennington didn't start for 2yrs. So, it's not always a bad thing to let someone sit/learn.
I agree, I don't think w/ Warner they'd have made the playoffs and if they did it would be WC and not gone far.
I also agree you can't 2nd guess on Big ben, but you can question the logic in giving up that much for a guy that you know a team has to deal. Eli refused to play for SD, I wonder who else was in the bidding that caused the Giants to give up two 1st round picks, the talk around draft day is no one and the Giants out bid themselves. Eli cost the Giants this years first (which is fine) but also, this years 3rd and next years 1st and 5th. Seems like a lot for a guy that SD had to trade.
