Re: Eli Manning/Rex Grossman
These questions are very hard to answer because a lot of a QB's success is dependent on his offensive line (running game/pass protection).
Give P. Manning/Brady a crappy line and their passing stats would probably go way down. I'm not implying they would be worse than other QBs, just that having a great line helps immensely (and the fact that the Colts line is so banged up makes Manning look even better now).
On raw talent alone, I think E. Manning >> Grossman, but both of them don't seem to have that leadership characteristic. When they make mistakes, they usually have this stupid "lost" look on their faces, and they never seem to be able to motivate their huddles to get the job done consistently.
