who said a qb always throw the pass? show me that in my post
I think you meant to say "who said a quarterback always throws a perfect pass."
Second, I didn't say you said it.
I said it.
Third, it was implied in your argument.

and even they said they should have lost that game twice to bad mistakes by eli but luckily the patriots didnt capitolize and eli eventually came through
The most prominent bad mistake on that drive was the ball Eli threw that Asante Samuel didn't intercept. Some say that was a bad throw, but judging how Eli was chewing out his receiver, it appears the receiver didn't run the right route.
That's what I was responding to, the implication that Eli threw a bad pass that was a bad mistake.

then you say i shouldnt hold eli's poor pass attempts on that entire drive that should have easily cost the giants yet you want me to overlook like it never happened. oh ok that makes sense
Now you're putting words in my mouth. I didn't say you should over look it. I'm saying that despite what you want to maximize, Eli won. He led that drive down field. You can point to the "almost mistakes," but the bottom line is he won.
And I, personally, think it's silly to focus on the "almost mistakes" as if that matters in the final analysis. It doesn't. Eli won. He has a Super Bowl ring, and he was the Super Bowl MVP. Those things are more tangible than someone holding up his "almost mistakes" as reality.

2nd what the hell does joe montana have to do with this lol maybe you didnt see the argument i was having with the other member. he was bragging about how good eli looked on the last drive of the patriots game. which is why i mentioned not once but twice did eli throw what should have been picks to end the game. that finally drive if anything was pure luck. down to the play where the pats idiot lb instead of wrapping eli up tried to one-arm him down for the sack by slinging him by his jersey, thus allowing ahim to sling a pass to david tyree to catch on his helmet! if hes trying to argue romo being better then eli i think thats the wrong drive to mention
This is what Joe Montana has to do with it. If you analyze any critical Super Bowl drive involving a quarterback, you're bound to find "almost mistakes."
Montana not being intercepted before he throws his game-winning TD in the second Bengals Super Bowl victory.
Terry Bradshaw tossing up a "prayer" right before he gets decked by a Cowboys defense lineman in Super Bowl 10.
The bottom line is they made the plays and they're Super Bowl heroes.
Second, what you call "luck" others call preparation. You say Eli was lucky not to get sacked. Others would say that Eli's commitment to weight training and his never-say-die attitude allowed him to elude Seymour. And so what if it was luck. Someone once said, "I'd rather be lucky than good."
Face it, Eli is a good quarterback and, right now, he is better than Romo. It's not just about stats. It's about winning. And if Jason Garrett and Wade Phillips want Romo to get into Eli's rarified status, then they will surround Romo with the same scheme Coughlin did for Eli.
Romo is a gambler. He may make a play, but he'll also cost you a game at a time when you don't need him to.
He has not proven he can lead this team to the Super Bowl. Eli has.
And there's no doubt disputing that
FACT.
Check back with me when Romo is wearing a ring - and I'm not talking about one from Jessica Simpson.
