Peyton is so much more charismatic than Eli. To listen to him give a post-game interview like he just did...then to hear Eli stumble through one. It never fails to make me laugh at how drastically different one is from the other.
It never fails to amuse me...

I'd guess it comes from being the youngest of 3 boys where the oldest two are very out-spoken.
I know some families that have a similar dynamic, and almost always the youngest ends up being the most reserved if the older ones are more lively.
Peyton has a career on TV doing commentary when he's done breaking NFL records. Eli, probably not.
Of course it has been argued that Eli's personality is probably what has allowed him to survive being Archie's son AND Peyton's brother and all the expectations that come with that without letting it overtake him. It's also probably the reason why he's so much better in the 4th quarter than a lot of QBs. Pressure just doesn't get to the guy.
