WFAN’s Evan Roberts was talking about Aaron Rodgers and Eli Manning on sports radio on Tuesday. Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud claimed that he would rather have Manning’s career than Rodgers’s career because Eli Manning won two Super Bowl titles and Aaron Rodgers only won one Super Bowl title.
It is interesting because Manning did not have the regular season numbers that Rodgers has. Eli Manning never won an MVP Award in his NFL career but did win two Super Bowl MVPs. As for Aaron Rodgers, he has won four NFL MVPs and one Super Bowl MVP.
Some people think that Aaron Rodgers is the greatest quarterback of all time and some believe that Eli Manning should not be a Hall of Fame quarterback. When C.J. Stroud made his take, a lot of people had very interesting reactions to it,

Evan Roberts of WFAN in New York was on his show on Tuesday with Tiki Barber. Roberts said on WFAN Radio:
“How could anyone in their right mind take the career of Eli Manning over Aaron Rodgers? I’m offended by the question. It’s actually one of the dumbest I’ve ever heard. I don’t know how any human being can pick the career of Eli Manning over Aaron Rodgers.”
Tiki Barber would disagree with Roberts about his selection. Barber only played for the New York Giants throughout his NFL career and said:
“The answer is obvious. The answer is Eli, because Eli was, has been, and always will be, the consummate teammate. The ultimate professional. The guy who always did his job. It wasn’t about anything else. Eli is far behind Aaron Rodgers, but that’s not the point. Why do we play team sports?”
Tiki Barber does have an interesting take because it is a team sport and not an individual sport. Many people believe that Eli Manning has been a better leader than Rodgers was throughout his NFL career. This debate will continue to go on since it is a very hot topic. Had Rodgers won more Super Bowls with the Green Bay Packers, this is not even a discussion.
They will blame him for the Packers not winning more Super Bowls. However, Green Bay Packers fans know what the real reason is as to why they didn’t win more titles: special teams and horrendous defense.
