Would it be fair to say Ben had a better win/loss record than Eli because he had a better supporting cast?

Ben = 15-1
Eli = only won 1 game.

I\'m going to assume you said yes....

Both Eli and Ben were rookies, so advantage = push!!

Although, Eli had a dad and brother with NFL experienceto learn from. Advantage = Eli.

So, there must be a reason that Ben won 15-games and Eli only won 1.

Ben had a better offensive line. To me that was the biggest difference. Advantage = Steelers.

Both QBs had great running games. Advatange = Steelers. But not by much.

Then there were the defenses. Advantage = Steelers.

The point is... A QB is NOT defined by his TEAMS win loss record. Unless you want to pin all the Giants losses on Eli?

That\'s exactly what you are doing with Brooks.

Rookie QB vs. rookie QB.

Veteran QB vs. veteran QB.

It makes no difference. Their supporting casts make a huge difference in the win/loss records.

We had the worst defense in the league and probably had the worst offensive line in the league.
