Eli isn't hard to judge, this is simple...
He won two Super Bowls in two years that he had the perfect balance across positions + everyone, including Eli, catching fire at the right time...
He played 14 other seasons besides those two years. He went to the playoffs only 4 more times and never won a playoff game. '07 and '11 were exceptions, not the rule. He had two Joe Flacco runs...
He was an inconsistent decision maker, and unequivocally didn't make his teams better------>his teams played at peak level when they got elite production everywhere else, particularly pass rush, protection, and consistency on the ground. When he didn't have everything rolling at a B level around him, he almost never demonstrated an ability to elevate the guys around him...
He's an average QB who got two hot runs. He'll make Canton because he's a Manning and won two Super Bowls, not because he was an All-Time great player at his position...
