Hands up, everybody who thought Eli Manning would win more Superbowls than Peyton?

Did anybody truly expect this and does it put Eli up there with his brother and Brady?

Update:

Pancho. So nobody has ever won a Superbowl I guess. They should not receive rings then, Right?And why is Joe Montana considered a better quarterback than Dan Marino or Jim Kelly?

    One thing I do know for certain, many people who try to avoid giving Eli the credits he deserved. I know he's getting them now and that's great but most of the time he gets put down.

    I mean people still claimed that the defense carried him while ignoring the fact that the defense blew for much of the season and ranked 27th. It wasn't until the Jets game where they finally started to click, Eli's comeback drives kept the team from matching their record from 2003 season.

    It's true that SB shouldn't be the measure of the player's greatness, in fact it's how the player contribute to the wins.

    Also regarding Marino, give him a good defense that knows how to stop the run and a running back that can run well, he'd get another shot for the ring. Too bad Shula stopped relying on that decided to ride on Marino's arm, sucks to be him.

    Jim Kelly on the other hand...now that's a choker. I know it wasn't completely his fault but how do you blow all four chances? The Bills team were stacked that time and yet, lol.

    Peyton is glaring the extra suited all around quarterback yet does have extra years/journey then Eli. yet Eli is plenty extra suited at snatch time and by way of the playoffs. in any case on the unique question. in case you watch any interview Peyton does and while Eli is stated he constantly provides a similar reaction. he's overprotective of Eli, he provides suggestion to Eli, he's plenty closer to Eli then to Cooper. you need to work out his physique circulation and his face and he constantly smiles while it includes Eli. Its no longer something however the certainty. additionally Eli have been given out out of his brother's shadow the 2nd he won the superbowl

    Eli Manning will win more Super Bowls when Brady decides to stop pleasuring his wife and Manning learns how to smile.
