Today Ben Roethlisberger of the Steelers got a monster deal worth $102 million over eight years. Mike and Mike in the Morning (a radio show) brought up a pretty tough question: looking at it from what we know now who would you have picked: Eli Manning or Roethlisberger? Both came into the NFL in the same draft 3 years ago and since then both have one a championship. The radio hosts were quite unsure, but in the end went with Roethlisberger due to his consistency. I’m not sure if I would go the same way though. Sure Roethlisberger has been consistent, but everyone doesn’t start out great. What Eli showed in this past postseason was amazing and he was the reason for so many upsets. I really think that Eli has changed and will continue to play well from now on. If he can play even nearly as good as he did in the playoffs then I’ll take him over Big Ben any day.
