I somehow think we could wrestle Eli Manning after the disappointing season the Giants have. And Eli Manning is the best one on the list - he has more Superbowl wins than his brother. He also defeated Brady twice, from an underdog position. That one is an elite QB and a winner and he does not even cost that much per year.

Seriously - there are many ways to compare QBs. The number of playoffs seasons is one but it's not that reliable in a team sport. Out of curiosity, where does Marshall rank in the WRs list, based on playoffs performance ?
Really - the only ones that can evaluate the QB performance are the team coaches. They know how every play was called, how it was executed, the quality of the decision making and the role of the QB. I mean - it could look like an awesome play to us - but it could be only the result of a good execution from the O-Line. And then it could seem like it's a crazy stupid Int while in fact someone was running the wrong route.
I'm sure Cutler was evaluated based on every play he made in every game. Several hours per week during long video sessions. It's the kind of stuff Trestman does.
I'm a Cutler supporter myself, but I'm not sure how the coaches will rate him. At the beginning of the season he was seeming more disciplined and buying the system than at the end - at some points it looked like he took some personal initiatives that were not in the playbook. But again, it's just guessing since I have no access to that playbook.
