I didn't bother to spell his whole last name, but you know who Im talking about Anyway, who do you think will eventually become the better QB? Big Ben or 3rd Generation Eli?Discuss.
Its Roethlisberger Anyways,I dont know.Eli was stupid for not wanting to go to San Diego.Now he doesnt have a very good team surrounding him while Roethlisberger has a VERY good team.So right now I am going to say Big Ben.
I think that Ben Rothlisberger will have the better NFL career. In the future Eli Mannging will become more of what we expected from him, but I think that Big Ben will just have a better career. He shown he was definitely NFL ready last year with an amazing seaosn, and I think he will continue to build on that, he will be something very special.

He has a running threat in Tiki Barber, and has recieving threats in Plaxico, Toomer, Shockey, and Tim Carter (if healthy) who is their speed reciever and very young.But no doubt, Big Ben is gonna be good

And the defense is better too, along with the o-line.
The true answer is...JP Losman, who will eventually become the best QB out of that draft class. j/p Roethlisberger has shown he's quite a few steps above Eli so far. Eli's got some work to do.
Roethlisberger seems better but Eli looked good in his last two games so I wouldn't ride him off just yet Eli has some good potiental and one season doesn't make or a break a career. I think Eli will be better this year. But saying that I think Roethlisberger will be better also this year. No he wont be 15-0 as a starter but he will put up better fantasy numbers.But another thing to look at.. Big Ben didnt look exact good in the playofss.. But its along season ahead and I guess we will see what happens.
I gotta say Ben. He's just proven so much in his rookie season. His name is already in the passing record books 3 times. There's no doubt that Eli will get better as time passes on. However, Ben has shown more in a short period of time and as both of them grow. Ben will always have that first step.

And plus, with the loss of Plaxico Burress, how well do you think Big Ben will do this upcoming season?
Your right, injuries can change a career. But I don't expect a man 6'5 and 250lbs (hence the big in big ben) to get injured much, or not long if injured at all.And though I think Plaxico is a good player and will help Eli, I don't think it will effect Ben much. He used Plax when he was a rookie. So now he's better and doesn't have him. You really lose some, but then gain it back. And now he still has just as great of receivers as he did last year, if not better.NewCedrick Wilson (the new wr) is a great player. He led the 49ers in receiving. That's not an easy task to do with the mediocre quarterback and all around offense of the 49ers. Another good receiver, Fred Gibson, will probably be Ben's new Plax. He has the height and the jumping ability. He's not as fast Plax, but he's still a BIG target for BIG ben. Another target is Heath Miller, a dominant force in the red zone, who will give Ben more touchdowns to throw because he gives them a chance to throw in the red zone instead of pounding it in all the time. And yet another new target is the undrafted rookie, Nate Washington. I've been watching him in preseason and he looks to be a good target. While he's most likely never going to be a starter, he looks like he can be an undrafted rookie that can turn into a solid slot receiver one day. Another one, lol, is receiver Walter Young. He's been through practice squads and cuts. However, I think this is the year he makes the team. He's 6'4, another big target. And looks better than ever in the preseason. Looks like the practice squads have done him some good. Improved First off, Antwaan Randle El has good hands and jumping ability too, besides just speed. I think with Plax gone, he can really show his stuff. ReliableAnd he's not a new target, but I gotta mention his name. The heart and soul of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Hines Ward. One of the most consistent receivers in the league. He's also one of the most underrated, as he does more than just catch (like other wr's) he blocks too. He is definetely the best blocking receiver. He's also very versatile. In college, he jumped around from reciever, to tailback, to quarterback, to tailback, to receiver early in his career before being discovered as an all star receiver. He did great at all positions and will always be remembered in the university of Georgia school history.A lot of new, improved, and reliable targets for Big Ben. And as he progresses, they'll help him make a "BIG" name for himself.

Ummm i would said Big Ben, theres always gonna be that extra pressure on Eli being The Brother of Peyton and although Eli will have a much better season this year as he has a better receiving core, Big ben has shown last season what a good player he can be and i think he will only get better! But i expect a good year from Eli aswell

Big Ben didn't have any "growing pains" in his rookie season, which are very hard to ignore. So I think he'll have some more struggles this year actually, last year was almostlike a "fairy tale" story.
To me if u But Big Ben on the Giants and Put Eli On the Steelers then Eli would prob have a better Year! thats my opinion
