Whom would you build around: Eli Manning or Ben Roethlisberger?

The best way to spell Big Ben's last name is W-IN-N-E-R. He has it all: poise, presence, confidence, size, smarts, accuracy and strength. No offense to the Manning dynasty, but the big kid from little Miami gets the nod from this fantasy GM.

Right now it's a no-brainer. Roethlisberger can avoid pressure, step up in the pocket and make the key throws. He also has displayed a lot of leadership around his teammates, including Alan Faneca, who wasn't excited to play with him.

At point, how could anyone choose Manning over Roethlisberger? Even if both players were getting equal time, my choice would be Roethlisberger. His calm demeanor and physical ability eventually will earn him a spot in the Pro Bowl.
