Eli Manning first of 2004 QB class to announce retirement

Which of the 2004 quarterbacks will retire last?

In terms of history, the three quarterbacks drafted at the top of the first round in the 2004 NFL draft will forever be linked. This is why it is big news that the first of the big three, New York Giants Eli Manning will officially announce his retirement from the NFL on Friday.

This leaves Philip Rivers of the Los Angeles Chargers and the Pittsburgh Steelers own Ben Roethlisberger. Rivers is rumored to be looking to get out of Los Angeles perhaps to wrap up his career closer to home and Roethlisberger is coming back from a season-ending elbow injury.

When history tells the story of this trio of franchise signal callers, which one will end up the best?
