Rodgers was much better than decent last year...
 
Since Rodgers became the starter in Green Bay:
 
2008:
Rodgers: 341-536 (63.6%), 4,038 Yards, 28 TD, 13 Int, 93.8 Rating
Manning: 289-479 (60.3%), 3,238 Yards, 21 TD, 10 Int, 86.4 Rating
 
2009:
Rodgers: 350-541 (64.7%), 4,434 Yards, 30 TD, 7 Int, 103.2 Rating
Manning: 317-509 (62.3%), 4,021 Yards, 27 TD, 14 Int, 93.1 Rating
 
2010:
Rodgers*: 312-475 (65.7%), 3,922 Yards, 28 TD, 11 Int, 101.2 Rating
Manning: 339-539 (62.9%), 4,002 Yards, 31 TD, 25 Int, 85.3 Rating
 
2011:
Rodgers*: 343-502 (68.3%), 4,643 Yards, 45 TD, 6 Int, 122.5 Rating
Manning: 359-589 (61%), 4,933 Yards, 29 TD, 16 Int, 92.9 Rating
 
* = Played in 15 games
 
I didn't even bother including rushing stats, because that's not really part of Eli's game, while it's a big part of Rodgers', so I didn't think it was fair, but that only helps bolster the case for Rodgers if you choose not to throw them out.
 
Records:
Green Bay: 42-24 (4-2 Playoffs)
New York: 44-25 (4-1 Playoffs)
 
Rodgers beat Manning in every statistical category except for Ints in 2008, Yards in 2010 (80 behind with one less game), TDs in 2010 (3 behind with 1 less game), and yards in 2011 (290 behind in one less game). He's won two fewer games total, and they've each won a Super Bowl (Eli's first came in the final year of the Favre era). He's been to the playoffs three times, Manning twice. He's three years younger. I don't think any rational, unbiased football fan would take Eli over Rodgers. Eli's a top-5 quarterback, he wins big games, he's on the fast track for the Hall of Fame, but he's not a better quarterback than Aaron Rodgers.
