Tell Brady Eli was mediocre. Eli was a slightly better than average QB except when he got into the playoffs. The dude played great. His brother Payton was great in regular season but wasn't the same in the playoffs.
Oh Eli played great?
Well let's check the stats:
Giants scored 21 and 17 pts.
First SB - Eli 55%, 2 tds, 1 int. 2 fumbles, 4 yds rushing. Wow, that's great? Nope.
Second SB - Eli 75%, 296 yards, 1 td. 1 rush for -1 yds. Good percentage and yards, but with only 1 td he didn't contribute much to the scoring. That's great? Nope again.
In 2007 the Pats scored 67 tds in the regular season, nearly 6,600 yards. Yet only scored 14 pts in the SB,
Eli didn't beat the Pats, his defense did....
