I think Big Ben has been held back by Tomlin most of his NFL career.
But, Ben is a hard nosed, old style type football player, stays in the pocket, takes the hits, shrugs off tackles. I actually enjoy watching him play.
On the other hand, when he has a bad game, he is really bad and keeps sinking further and further trying to get out of the hole he has dug.
But, I would take Eli out, and slide Big Ben into the 5th spot.

After that, not even close
TD/INT
Ben 362/189
Eli 358/238
Yds per attempt (a subtle, but telling stat w big sample size)
Ben 7.8
Eli 7.0
QB Rating
Ben 94.3
Eli 84.1
That last stat is IMO almost damning....A guy with 84.1 QB Rating is a middle tier QB at best and yet the Giants pay him as top tier.
And check it out....Ben lifetime rating of 94.3? Eli has never once hit that rating in even a single season.
