Brady is playing with NFL strike level replacement WR's and he's 4-1.
Eli Manning completely sucks. His team sucks, but he's front and center on the complete "I blow" bandwagon.

He won 2 Super Bowls, and yes, he deserves a ton of credit for those wins even if he had a good supporting cast. He also gets a pass because regular season be damned, there are few QBs I'd want above him in the postseason.
Eli and Rodgers are two different QBs. Rodgers and Peyton are two guys who can carry a bad team on their back, but their style of play is flawed too. They play so up-tempo that the team isn't built to be elite in the 4th quarter. Eli is what I call an elite game manager. But to be successful, he has to have a good running game to help control the tempo of the game. That's not too much to ask for. Right now, his running game is an absolute abortion.
