Eli, Peyton or Archie: Who would you take? (1 Viewer)

[Da Guru]

Your team is set but you need a QB. What Manning would you take?

 

[Da Guru]

Eli is gritty.

peyton. not even close. since archie is on the list we are getting em in their heyday?

This should not even be close. You have to be crazy to not take Peyton. Eli is solid and Archie was good, but Peyton is one of best ever.

If it were Peyton, Eli or Archie straight out of college...

If I could get Archie straight out of Ole Miss, and put Don Coryell in charge with a decent set of receivers and a decent line - Archie was SEC QB of the half century, not Peyton - Archie.

Archie still holds the all-time SEC single game yardage record.

Imagine Peyton or Eli if they could run.

Put Peyton and Eli in with the Saints of 1971 or even their modern equivalent they never would have stood a chance. Imagine the Browns receivers minus Little with the Rams' line, the Packers run game, and Tampa's defense. Seriously, the Saints hired an astronaut as GM, the head coach was literally hired from a semi-pro team, think about that.

I'm not sure if you've noticed, but the Colts without Peyton are pretty ludicrously awful.

2-3 with Orlovsky, not that bad with the most mediocre of QBs.Painter... was a tank to get Luck.

Well I think Archie is too old to get the job done and I'm not sure about Peyton's neck so I voted for Eli

 

[Carolina Hustler]

Archie, then stud him out.. Could make some money selling Elite QB babies..

 

[kentric]

I think the better question is who would be second after Peyton.

 

[AmosMoses]

Tom Brady

Hard to say with Archie and what he could have done if he was on a legit team. The Saints were just Terrible in those days. Based on Stats and records I would go Peyton, Archie then Eli even if Eli gets one more ring than Peyton. I give alot of credit to the Giants defense here. If the Saints had the Giants defense they would be playing the Patriots in the Superbowl.

Maybe they should have invested in a true backup QB?
