You would have a much better insight about Eli and his troubles than most of the Cowboy fans.

Dak has never played in a playoff game. To put him over a 2x super bowl winning QB is asinine.
Eli is much better in the playoffs than he is in the regular season.
There are some good quarterbacks in the NFC playoffs this year.
I'd rank them.....
1. Aaron Rodgers
2. Matt Ryan
3. Russell Wilson
4. Matt Stafford
5. Dak Prescott
6. Eli Manning
(I would rank a healthy Tony Romo 2nd.)
The AFC is far inferior....
1. Tom Brady
2. Ben Roethlisberger
3. Alex Smith
4. Ryan Tannehill
5. Brock Osweler
6. Connor Cook
(Derek Carr would be 3rd.)

LOL at the people ranking Romo near the top. I am not saying you are wrong, but if that is the case, why in the world isn't he starting?
Just a tough year in the NFC with all these SB-winning QBs. The only tougher year I can remember recently is 2014 in the AFC when Brady, Peyton, Big Ben, and Flacco were all in the tournament.
But look what's around those quarterbacks. Wilson is running for his life with no run game at all. Stafford kinda the same. Manning's offensive line is trash, too.
Situations have as much to do with numbers as the quarterbacks themselves.
I don't think people are discounting what Dak has done. Quite simply he's had the greatest rookie QB season of all time. Most everyone acknowledge that.It's interesting that with Dak we have to look at the "situation", however with other QBs it's never that way. Has Tom Brady not had a good offensive line his entire career? I can count 1 season when it's been trash. What about his offensivs system? Interestingly, when he's been out due to injury or cheating, his backups have been remarkably good. How about Kurt Warner when he had the greatest show on turf? I dont recall him being ranked below any of the other QBs because he had 2 very good receivers, a fantastic 3rd receiver, and Marshall Faulk. Has Matt Ryan not benefited from having an elite offense?
The excuses for Dak's success are ridiculous.

Sorry...but I'm taking a healthy, surging Rodgers over all the rest...even Brady, Romo, Prescott and Ryan. If Rodgers was the Dallas QB, I would buy a ticket to the Superbowl tomorrow.NFC

Because it's been about a regular season record and maintaining momentum. I like Prescott...but I still don't fully trust him against the top defenses. Until he can put the Giants in their place, I will maintain my reservations.Because Dak has quarterbacked this team to 13-2. It's a uniquely strange situation.
