my point is, and has always been, that Eli hasn't more than justified being taken #1 overall
and dont' forget that the Chargers got a couple of players out of that trade too
Eli is good, not great, certainly not deserving of any lavish praise
Like I said, I have easier time arguing with my wife. Anyway, I don't see SB rings on Phillip's rings. Till then your argument is moot.
Eli has already justified his No. 1 Overall selection, whether you wish to agree or not is not going to change anything. Any QB who gets a SB ring, just like Big Ben did, will justify his selection, especially if did help the team on the way. It doesn't matter the team won only because he willed his team to win, ala maybe Tom Brady or like Peyton, whose team won in many ways inspite of him.
Beyond, that I will end the argument here, since its obvious we are not going anywhere here.
