He sucked up until a month before that Super Bowl and has been on a decline since.
156 TDs and 114 INTs with 60 fumbles in 7 years is not good. 58% career passer.
He gets elevated because of his last name and the big media market he plays in.
His stats are comparable to Boomer Esiason at this point. Both have a similar 57-58% completion rate and their TD:INT ratio is identical (I did the math). Both are locks for 15-20 INTs a year but Boomer never had 25 like Eli did last year, even on the Bengals, Jets or Cardinals.
No one would call Boomer a top QB. Good, yes...not great. Eli gets hyped like he's one of the top in the league.
