I think both of them will handle the pressure well today, and wind up closer to the Tom Brady first-time Super Bowl performance of 2001 than the Kerry Collins (2000, Giants), Rich Gannon (2002, Raiders), or Donovan McNabb (2004, Eagles) versions.

I dunno, I'd rank Big Bennie's 22.9 as softened if not melted. Looking poised while lobbing ints and dirtballs isn't quite up to Tommy's standard. 
Good job Chris, 2 weeks in a row and already a classic!
