I think Eli could actually make a case for one of your better QBs in 2014 if you consider supporting cast and everything else. Going by 2014 alone I'd probably say he belongs in the "clearly better than Andy" category. Not an Eli fan, but he looked good last season.
I agree he did his job, but the pressure was off of him for a lot of it.
He's capable of better seasons than Andy sporadically, but over the course of his 12 seasons, he had 5 worse than any Andy has had. They are eerily similar career % completions, attempts, average, rating, ypg, TD%, INT%...
I think Andy's ceiling is the Matt Ryan, Eli Manning type. Good enough but needs the team to play really well too.
