63 more games

Eli 240 ypg
Joe 236 ypg

Eli 1.56 TD/G
Joe 1.31 TD/G

Joe has a ring and a Super Bowl MVP. Eli has two of each.

They are pretty similar as long as you aren't distorting it by using aggregate numbers.


If you are going to measure a career that way Andrew Luck is averaging 1.81 TD/G and 272 ypg, which is closer to Tom Brady than Flacco is to Eli.

I'm not measuring his career like that. Just demonstrating that Flacco is a similar player-type. On a per game basis Flacco compares very favorably to Eli. He isn't a Manning so people rightfully rate him in the second tier. If the question is who has the best aggregated stats over time, obviously it is Eli.
