Stephen A. makes the case that Big Ben had a better career than Eli Manning | First Take 

Love how Molly said the stats about Eli like it was a checkmate, when Big Ben eclipses almost all of the stats she listed 😂

I love how molly kept listing all those stats that Eli ranks in the top 10 of, when Ben is literally ahead of him in every single one 😂😂

Stephen A's face when Molly starts listing the stats is absolutely gold

Stephen A. having that shut up Molly moment was flippin great 🤣👍

When SA got on Molly I DIED 💀😂

Big Been has the 3rd most 4th Quarter comebacks in NFL History 5th most wins as a starting QB 2x Super Bowl Champ Top 5 in passing yards Top 5 in completions Top 8 in touchdowns Top 20 in completion percentage More career wins More playoff wins Way less interceptions

SAS really said “puff puff passing” 😂😂😂

Does molly not realize that almost every stat she listed, Ben still has Eli beat😂

Big Ben clearly had a better career. On top of what Stephen A said, Big Ben also played in a tougher division

As a giants fan I spent the first 3 seasons of Eli career wondering when is this guy finally gonna do something intil he shocked the world with the sb 42 win but he was never better than ben

Molly really said top 10 in yards and tds for Eli. Even though Ben is higher then him on both

Stephen A is 100% right in this.

Big Ben by far. People get mesmerized by the helmet catch where they beat that great Patriots team. Just about every other year, Big Ben was no doubt better and performed like it

As a browns fan it is CLEARLY BIG BEN

Every time I hear Dan trying to sound smart in an argument (which don’t get me wrong he is a lot of times), I always go back to him running into the back of his own end zone.

COMPARING THESE TWO IS DISRESPECTFUL TO BEN

Why is this even a debate? Of course Ben roethlisberger had a better career and Eli. (No hate to Eli) Ben Roethlisberger is more accurate, Better precision, more trustworthy, has less interception, etc. Ben roethlisberger has been a Top 10 QB for years leading his team to the playoffs every year. Now you could make a case that Big Ben had a better team since the Steelers are always contenders and is a well run organization. Meanwhile the Giants are a dumpster fire team that wasted Eli Manning final year.

I pick Ben over Eli, but respect to Eli man. I'm a Pats fan, so I know first hand what Eli has accomplished. The thing is, Eli was never close to being the best QB in the league at any point in his career. He has some longevity stats, but he has also led the league in INT's multiple times I believe. He turned the ball over a lot. He has a .500 career record. A 60% career completion percentage. But he had some magic on his side a few times during those Superbowl wins. He played good for the most part during those runs. Is it enough to get him into the HOF? I don't know man. It's tough.

Big Ben had a better team most of his career. Eli never had an offensive line and Steelers always had a better defense. The years the defense stepped up for NYG Eli won super bowls. That dude is an assassin in the post season, straight ice in his veins.

It’s clearly Ben. Ben used to throw 7 TD back to back. Throwing ppl off him left and right. Eli used to be scared to get hit and folded all the time. He was great all the other times doe I give him that. But if Ben would’ve retired when Eli did this wouldn’t even be a question

I’m a Steelers fan living in Jersey….I’ve had to make this argument almost my entire life lol

*Ben Roethlisberger there have been MANY TIMES that you have showed US as Steelers Fans your HEART but for me it was vs the Browns in December 2011. When I saw the leg injury at the end of the second half where it looked SO BAD almost to the point of a season or career ending injury I was crushed!!! But then I saw you come back on the field ready to play after halftime I cried like a baby & INSTANTLY KNEW that you were one of the GREATEST Steeler's QB's in HISTORY to EVER put on a Steelers Uniform PERIOD!!! Thank You Ben for giving US as Steelers Fans some of the GREATEST Years of OUR lives watching and cheering for YOU and the BLACK & GOLD!!! Steelers Nation 4 Life!!! We Bleed Black & Gold!!!*

L argument by Orlovsky same guy that rode Carson Wentz when he played like garbage, Orlovsky is a terrible analyst bruh saying eli had a better career than Rothlisburger GTFOH 🤦

Eli Manning is such a fun football player to argue about because his career makes no sense when you think about. He was a middle of the road/ bad qb for a lot of years in his career but the 2 years he wasn't, he was a top 5 Qb who beat TOM BRADY in the SB (with the help of his defense). Ultimate x-factor lol

People really making a case for Eli having a better CAREER based on the 2 wins against Brady? LMAO... yes Eli's super bowl wins were more impressive but Ben had the better CAREER

How is this even an argument? Ben is so much better it's not even close

“I think you need to be drug tested immediately.” -Stephen A. Smith

Ben had easily had the better career. Eli gets overrated bc his two superbowls are against the patriots, but there never was a time when Eli was better than Big Ben. Stop it

Ben was better than Eli and I love Eli. Ben was more efficient and consistent in his career.

Eli Manning succeeded despite every sports analyst and every person putting him down during his career.

I love starting my day with laughter! Y’all are hilarious 🤣

FIRE MOLLY

Teams didn't worry about Eli. Teams worried about Ben. End of argument. Plus Ben had more 4th quarter comebacks more game-winning drives and possibly the greatest pass ever thrown to win a super bowl. Strangely enough no one mentions the pass to Santonio Holmes. Nice to see the media has stayed consistent with Ben.

Eli Went out On The Bench ! Ben Went Out In The Playoffs ! CASE CLOSED ! 🐝🐝🐝🐝

SAS what you doing in Molly’s office? 😂😂

When Stephen A says I think your puff puff and passing, I laughed so hard lol

Eli Manning wasn’t even better than Phillip rivers.. rivers or Ben is the better argument. Why bring up calling Eli mr 4th quarter and his game winning drives and all his stats when Ben has more games winning drives and better stats. Ben is top 3 all time in game winning drives. Even this year he led the league in game winning drives

This is honestly pretty simple. Ben without question had a better career. What Eli has is a better legacy.

Dude SAS face when Molly started reading Eli stats had me dying for 10 minutes 😂😂😂😂

This is the best segment I've seen in a long time

Derek Jeter of football?! Come on Dan…

D.O definitely needs to be Drug tested 😂

Dan's face when Stephen A was about to go in on Molly hahahahhaha

The fact that I'm a long time Steeler fan aside, I have to go with Ben on this one but Eli did take down Brady twice and Brett Favre on the way to a Superbowl.

Take away both of their super bowls and who had the better career? It’s Big Ben by a long shot, even with the Super Bowls. Eli had 2 decent seasons, that’s it

I honestly didn’t even know that this was debatable. Big Ben

I love how Stephen talk about Molly not having objectivity

Eli played in a more stacked & decorative division . He played against tougher competition to get to his Superbowls & win them .. Eli faced Brady twice in the Superbowl

As a Giants fan yes Big Ben had a better career than Eli BUT both are Hall of Famers and had stellar careers

I gotta be honest I enjoy seeing Dan on first take him and Stephen A are hilarious together

Every stat Molly read about Eli is true about Ben, but all of those stats Ben has better stats. They showed the stats side by side and Ben is better in all of them. When it comes to the 4th quarter drives and comebacks Ben has more than 20 more. It's not close. Not only did Ben have more playoff appearences, but Elie has multiple losing seasons. In his last 6 years he had 5. When comparing players to use the team they played for as an argument point isn't valid. Let's not forget though how good the Giants defense was when they were winning superbowls. Strahan, JPP, Antonio Pierce, Justin Tuck, Osi Umenyiora. The Steelers defense was good during the superbowl runs, but in the last 3 playoff games the defense has allowed 40 points or more in every game.

Ben’s first ring was handed to him. Eli Manning is 3-2 all time against Brady including 2 4th quarter comebacks in both of his Super Bowls. Eli is 7-2 on the road and 8-4 overall. He still holds the record for most passing yards in a single postseason: 2011 (1,219). Meanwhile Ben has been on superior teams his whole career and posted 9/21 Rate 22.6 (lowest by a SB winning QB) and fell short to Rodgers his 3rd and last appearance. Eli took down 18-0 and has 5 GWD in the postseason. He also lead 8 total 4th quarter comebacks in 2011 even though the Giants finished 9-7.

“I think you need to be drug tested immediately.” 🤣

I think Ben has the edge. At the same time tho, his teams were always waaaay better than Eli's. WR, RB, defense, COACHING, he had everything better than Eli. Also, how many H.O.F. players did Eli play with compared to Ben?

lmaooo "you didn't eat dinner, you're hangry" dan bro lmaooo

The dynamic between Dan and SAS is gold

Molly wants to talk about Eli being in the Top 10 in passing yards, passing TDs, and completions in NFL history and is one of 5 players ever to win multiple Super Bowl MVPs. The Super Bowl MVP argument is valid, but the yards, TDs, and completions aren't. All of those numbers accumulate and build up the more years you play. Also, Eli never led the NFL in passing yards, passing TDs, completions, or any other positive QB stat. The one thing he did lead the NFL in 3 times to be exact is INTs. But his career was better than Ben Roethlisberger's, right? And Dan Orlovsky keeps talking about how Eli didn't have the defenses that Ben had on the Steelers. That's to no fault of Ben. He wasn't a turnover machine like Eli was and a lot of those picks Eli threw put the Giants' defense in bad spots and situations. That's on him, not them. Ben >>>>> Eli

Hard to argue this. Both won 2 SB and Ben made it to 3. Eli beat Brady twice. Big Ben outlasted Eli. Slight edge to Big Ben for me.

Disappointed no one shut Molly & Dan by simply stating that Ben had better numbers in Eli's "top 10" statistics. Love the Eli & the Giants but Ben was a HOF his ENTIRE career

Hey said “Stephan A yesterday you were hangry” 🤣🤣🤣

I agree with Stephen A

People forget, in the Super Bowls Ben won, the Seahawks only TD came after an interception that set up a really short field, and vs the Cardinals the Steeler D had a TD and they only won by 4. Both years the Steelers won the Super Bowl, the Pats missed the playoffs entirely. The Browns and Bengals were 4 automatic wins Ben's whole career. The NFC east used to actually be pretty competitive when Eli was playing. Ben is a better passer no doubt, if I need to win a meaningless regular season game, I'll take Big Ben. If I need to win a game I have no business winning? Eli 100%.

I love how Molly is trying to use Eli’s 27 4th quarter comebacks as evidence to why he’s better when Ben had 41 lol.

Do said Stephen A U is high I'm crying 🤣😭😭😭😭

Eli was good but Ben had the better career period

The only reason Ben doesn’t have more moment because he’s shunned or ignored by the media because he was one of the most disliked players all time. Ben literally is top 3 in game winning drives back to back 500 yard games… back to back 5 td games

“YOU ARE HIGH”😂😂

Dan said you are HANGRY 😂😂😂

I'm actually mad that Dan is a guy who constantly praises my boy Stafford after watching his horrible argument and case of Eli over Ben. And how arrogant he is on a topic he is waaaaayyyyy wrong about. Lol.

Big Ben is probably the 3rd or 4th best QB drafted in the 2000’s behind Brady, Rodgers and maybe Brees. He’s a clear first ballot HOFer. I have the upmost respect for Eli their is no debate between him and Ben. A better debate would be between Big Ben and Brees, since Big Ben has more team accomplishments and Brees has better stats.

“you are high” 😭😂

Thank you Dan!

This isn't even close if we're being honest. Ben is easily the best QB in the 2004 class

Only time he has had single digit INT seasons was his First and last year when he was trash and not starting all the games. Complete and utter trash

This is gold

This is amazing 😭😂😂😂

Having a couple of runs in the playoffs doesn’t make you a great QB. Give me a break. Eli Manning is one of the most overrated QBs to win two super bowls. It’s crazy how average this guy was during the regular season. Anyway ben is better.

I absolutely love Eli. But I'm finding it really hard to find a way how he has had a better career than Ben.

One of the funniest segments this year lol

He said he was going to dunk on Stephen A that was a missed layup 😂😂😂

Eli never really had a season where he was elite he did just enough in those two Super Bowls seasons, there defense carried them

Goated Eli beat Tom in 2 Super Bowls like a disciplined father😂💪🏾

I love when these two go at it. It's comical but serious at the same time.

One major thing folks who keep claiming Pittsburgh had better “defense” and “better” organizing in which is the but they are also in the most physical division. Not to mention that division is stacked with playoff teams and other super-bowl champions (ravens). Giants are in one of the worst divisions all they need to do is just make the wildcard lol

Big Ben period

Aaron Rodgers for the regular season and Eli Manning for the playoffs would make the perfect quarterback combo.

DAN WAS EATING HEAVY!!! "You..are..high" "You didn't eat dinner, you hangry" "ima dunk all over you" 😤 🤣🤣

I had to watch this take twice!😂😂😂😂

Duh! Eli the most overrated Qb of all time! Everyone know that

I'm a die hard Giants fan and it ain't close it's Ben

wow molly can read the brochure 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Stephen A Smith when Molly started talking lol

Stephen A.: “I have significantly and seriously questioned whether Eli Manning deserves to be a hall of famer.” Dan Orlovsky: “You are high.”

Eli, he beat Brady and the Patriots TWICE, enough said!

That look on Dan Orlovsky when he realizes the he needs to spend time explaining to Stephen A. HOW PASS COMPLETIONS WORK...

It would’ve been savage af if SA came back at Dan like “ were u high when u stepped out of the end zone to give the other team points n the ball “ 😂🤣💀

They both have 2 SB’s but Ben was wayyyyy better lol!

This is such a dumb argument I agree Eli Manning was prolly one of the most ovverated qbs. He always stunk in the regular season.

Lmao as soon as Molly stuck out her tongue I ran to the comments & y’all never disappoint 😂🤝

Eli has 2 accomplishments, and those are beating the Patriots in the Super Bowl. And with that said, it was more about the defense than eli. No one was afraid of going against Eli, they were afraid of going against that defense and Brandon Jacobs.
