It's the preseason, yes, but Eli's numbers have been awful...he's not ready, and I'd rather sit him and try my luck with Warner.
Even Elway and Aikman had horrid first years; with all the pressure on Eli after forcing the trade, a failure of a first season would be a lot to take.
If you need recent history that the sit-and-wait approach works, look at Steve McNair.
