Your argument must be based off of stats to have Rivers and Romo above Ben. So then why are they not also above Eli? Romo and Rivers have consistently put up better stats than Eli as well. Except last year Rivers didn't I don't believe.
Manning changed, he is playing better now.
I question Roethlisberger's success on a team like the Colts, for example. The Steeler defense does a very good job in containing the oppposing offense, but I question if Roethlisberger would win with the Colts in the same fashion he does with the Steelers. The Steelers ranked 21st in points allowed last year with 325, and their defense ranked 1st in points alllowed with 227, a proof that they rely too much on the defense.
Romo plays well, he chokes at times, but on the most of times it is the defense's fault, they have only DeMarcus Ware and Sean Lee on there, with the addition of Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne, that defense can improve.
The Chargers had a top defense in 2010, however the main reason of them not going to the playoffs was their special teams failure. In 2010, Rivers had 20 interceptions, but compared to his previous years we can't rule out that he's still a very good passer.
Funny, I'd question P Manning's success on a team like the Steelers.
Manning wants things his way and that wouldn't role in Pittsburgh. His offense would be detrimental to the defense because they would have to chance to rest which is bad news for a D that is not exactly young. The Steelers even now like to run the ball a good bit, Manning would have no part of that, the O-line has been horrendous since 05, Manning would likely not be as effective. The plus would be they wouldn't have to deal with Arians as the OC anymore.
