If asked the question today, would Eli

still say he is a top 5 QB in the NFL as he did in 2011 to Michael Kay of ESPN?

To me, Eli has a lot to prove this year which, I believe, is a good thing.
Yes, he probably would

would answer the question differently. Eli probably still thinks he is a "Top 5 elite" QB but I don't think he would say it again because it developed into a really annoying season-long story the last time he said it.

Absolutely a big season in Eli's career. 2013 was the worst year of his career and he is coming off of off-season surgery as a 33 year old. This is a crossroads for his career. A strong bounce back season would mean so much for this franchise.
that's true

that actually was kind of out of character for him. Eli tends to answer questions with non answers.
If he was asked that question today

most of the board would say what a stupid question that is and wonder why some reporter is trolling him with it.
If they can rebuild the OL and protect him like

the other so called Top 5 Qb's the answer should be yes...
This is so...

he would absolutely answer the same way if it was the first time the question was asked of him. He is confident in his talent and ability. He should be and you want that in a QB.

Given the history, he would be smart enough to answer it differently. But if this was the first time Kay asked him that question, I think he would answer the same way. And I believe that is a good thing.



If he was asked again or asked for the 1st time?

If asked again, I would say he would say the same thing. If asked now for the 1st time, I'd think he might answer it differently.
You done did it

Eli's getting ring no. 3 this year now.
since he wasn't a top 25 QB last year

its hard to take the question seriously

I mean this with peace and love. Who gives a flying shitball? You are already seeing posters thinking that Eli lost it even though they (apparently) watched him under duress behind the worst Oline in the NFL, with almost no running game (partially due to that line) and WRs being on the wrong page including Nicks giving up on most plays and shit playing at TE.

Yeah. Eli had an AWFUL year!!
The word elite needs to die an immediate fucking death
