Which QB will have a better career - Peyton Manning or Eli Manning?

When they are both retired, who will be the better QB looking back onto their careers.

I'm going to say Eli gets a couple more rings (including this one vs the Pats) and is considered a more successful QB than his big brother.

I think Peyton is a much better QB

Peyton has to be sick. Either his brother gets to two wins, or Brady gets to 4. Either way, history will have Peyton as the odd man out. He can't be mentioned with Brady if Brady has 4 Super Bowl wins, and Peyton would have to win at least one more to catch Eli if Eli wins.

If Peyton doesn't retire, then I think he might have to go to another team and try to win another title or two or his legacy will slip quite a bit. History remembers the big winners in the big games.

Agree 100%

Peyton's legacy is beyond secure regardless of who wins. This season proved he was the real MVP as he single handily covered the flaws of that team for nearly a decade. As much as I love Eli, the AFC has been much tougher over the last number of years compared to the NFC in terms of getting into & through the playoffs.
