Eli Manning was a 2x Super Bowl MVP and a first round talent. He made 2 throws that are iconic in the Super Bowl, and also played his best against highly ranked defenses in 2007 to get to a Super Bowl. He's also borderline HOF. Peyton Manning may not have had the arm strength anymore, but his intellect didn't go away. You think they would have won with freakin' Brock? Downplaying the Manning's is LOL worthy.
And I already mentioned what Foles and Flacco had to do - Flacco benefited from a great defense and had one of the best post-season runs as a QB (go look at his numbers) and Foles is a cinderella story.
I’m not sure if you’re joking or not. You said it yourself, Eli is a borderline hall of faker with 2 superbowl mvp’s lol. he’s just not a great qb by any stretch. Football is weird like that, he got hot at the right time.
as far as Peyton is concerned lol he’s an all time great. One of my favorites ever and he flat out stunk in the playoffs and was escorted to the title by the defense. He had like 500 yards combined through 3 games with a paltry 141 and no tds in the SB. you’re better than this. Do I think Brock Could have done the same? Probably especially since he managed to get them to the playoffs in Peytons absence, by... riding the defense.
And sure, Flacco and Foles has to provide Herculean efforts, but that’s kinda the point. They did, they won, we’ve seen it. It happens.
