Inferior quarterback, yes, but also a superior defense and run game.
I'm not calling you hypocritical because I don't know your stance now, but this is a common hypocritical statement made by average fans.........
......Because when the giants win, the credit is quickly given to other areas of the team, none given to Eli, (his defenses and running game were good).
Now that those areas are extremely lacking(especially oline and running game) everyone points fault at Eli instead of the extremely lacking areas.
Eli has never had a premier receiver btw, like a Reggie Wayne, Marvin Harrison, Wes Welker etc. Not saying Eli is better because he is not better than Peyton. But his receivers have always been very overrated. None of thise receivers put up the same numbers once they leave the giants, except Jeremy shocky.
Seems like a quarter of his ints are receiver-deflected ints.

Eli Manning has played with Jeremy Shockey, Plaxico Burress, Amani Toomer, Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks. Steve Smith was the best slot receiver in football for two years with Manning.
Manning has been blessed with plenty of targets over the years.
