This. -Giants were so MEDIOCRE they EARNED their underdog/road warrior status, and their defense carried them all the f**king way.

Agreed, Dilfer was the worst, and during that specific season Eli was so bad that even with their record at 6-2 the giants owner openly talked to the media about replacing him at the end of the season. The defensive front four of that team won that franchise the super bowl. Still dont know how Asante doesn't catch that interception... I would much rather see Brady undefeated than another godamn Eli manning unstoppable watch commercial.

His former team mate Dilfer makes this an assured non event.

No. Trent Dilfer had worse statistics. Hell, even Montana barely had an 87 rating his first SB.

Let's get there first then worry about all this b******t.

rypien was 2 time pro bowl, sb mvp the year they won, and also nfl offensvie player of the year. hes no HOF'er but he isnt even in the discussion of worst qb to win a sb IMO

Dilfer does have a Pro Bowl under his belt. Just saying.

The entire premise is backwards. How Alex played in previous seasons is irrelevant. What matter is now he played THIS season. Mark Rypien was a bum, but he got a Super Bowl.
