Who hates Eli?
Chargers fans.
Who hates Eli?
He's still the fourth best QB in the league at best, and that's only because his brother is hurt.
You say that like it's a bad thing to be ranked behind 2 sure fire HOFers (Brady and Brees) and one very likely HOFer (Rodgers).
No, its a great thing to be #4. Its apparent though that for the next week (at least), we're going to be hearing how Eli is possibly the best QB in the game, which is simply ridiculous.
Edit to add: And, as if on cue, Moon's above post proves my point to a tee.
Not one single person is claiming he's the best in the game. Anyone that does so should be mocked endlessly.

INDIANAPOLIS -- I still can't get over that throw from Eli Manning to Mario Manningham. As much as I respect the catch (it will be the greatest of Manningham's career, no matter how long he plays), I am in awe of the throw. How did Manning make that throw? Why make that throw? Why did he pick the target of the guy with a corner in coverage and a safety flying over to crush Manningham? The 38-yard throw -- which began an 88-yard, Super Bowl-winning touchdown drive that Bill Belichick will see in his nightmares -- is just one more reason to never, ever question how good Eli Manning is. He will have some crappy games the rest of his career, because two or three times a year he stinks. But I ask you: What quarterback alive do you want with the ball in his hands in the last two minutes of a big game?
Thought so. Eli Manning.
It's not an insult to say Eli is one of the top 5 qb's in the league. You can debate the order but he's there.
Make it a top 6 and I agree with you:
Rodgers
Brees
Brady
P. Manning
Roethlisberger
E. Manning
Tough to argue with Eli knocking any of the above out of a ranking of the top 5.
