first off, kudos to Eli on helping the gmen in winning two SBs . . .but i am not so sure that i can put him in the status of elite . . . i would take Big Ben over Eli . . .
i had a friend of mine tell me at the start of the season that Eli was the best QB in the league and that he has surpassed Brady . . . i disagree with him at the time and still do . . .
i too was trouble by all of the eli the best talk from all of the talking heads at the start of the season . . . is Eli a great QB, yes, is he elite (presuming the word elite means the top 15-20% of a group, so top 6 qbs), then no i do not put him in that group . . .
the gmen's D is one of the best, admittedly the Gmen were lucky in those two runs, as we were in 2001 . . . but the key is, what did the team and the QB do outside of those SBs wins . . . and Eli really has not separated himself outside of those two runs . . .
since 2005 he has the most ints
the records are
2007 - 10-6
2008 - 12-4
2009 - 10-6, missed playoffs
2010 - 8-8, missed playoffs
2011 -9-7
2012 - 9-7, missed playoffs . . .
true they won two SBs, and i think they were the best team in football from dec 2007-dec2008, but outside of that they are a 500 middle of the road team, they were lucky to have played romo in december twice last year and the imploding jets, helping them to 9-7, this year 9-7 was not enough as the nfc east was a tad stronger . . .
so yes two good runs, with some luck, and they took advantage of the luck, but outside of that, the gmen and eli are middle of the road . . .
