Hear it told on CZ, the Giants won DESPITE Eli Manning. That and luck.
Allegedly...
I think people are afraid that if they give Eli Manning credit it would seem they are ranking him above Romo. Manning made some great throws in the Super Bowl games; that pass to Manningham was just a great throw and not luck.
I still have huge criticisms of Manning, far too inconsistent. But if Manning and Flacco can win Super Bowls, QBs like Romo, Ryan, and Rivers can as well. Luck is always involved with balls bouncing your way (Gaints Vs. 49ers), but it's all about that hot streak in the NFL.
