Run games don't win super bowls anymore, bad ass QBs win super bowls.
Giants v Pats...giants had the better run game and won
Steelers vs Packers...Steelers lost with a better run game.
Saints colts ...colts had better run and lost
Giants vs Pats...giants had the better run game and won
Colts vs Bears...colts had better run and won
Steelers and Seachickens...Steelers had better run and won
Pats vs Eagles...Pats had the better run game and won
Hmmm Now let's look at QBs...
E. Manning vs Brady who's better? It's close.
Rogers vs Big Ben? Rogers..but ben is no slouch.
Brees vs Manning? WHo's better?
Giants vs Pats..E. manning vs Brady again...
Brady vs Who was the QB for bears? Obviously Manning.
Steelers and Seachickens...yeah Ben was better than Hasselbeck
Brady vs McNabb...Brady.
You could make that argument...I don't know if it would be correct...but there isn't enough there to deny it isn't possible. What I can say is that all things being equal or even near it, yeah the run game makes a huge difference.
Of course, the counter to this is, tell me the name of the team in the past 5 seasons that had a 10+ game season winning record that was a balanced offense. I think you'll find only one team on that list.
So just because the last few years what you're suggesting might be true, doesn't mean that things can't change. Otherwise, you might as well write off the niners now, cuz that's how Harbaugh wants his team to play..regardless of QB.

Pats win both of those games if Eli doesnt play his A** of on those final drives, the difference in both of those games was the qb play

No... the difference in 2008 was the Giants DLine shutting down Tom Brady and the pats to 17 points
Their DLine was the main reason they won that superbowl. Eli wasn't considered a top 10 QB at all that season.

Ya cause Eli did so great that game.
316 on 60 attempts
We all know our D dominated that game. 3 and out after 3 and out. Kyle Williams lost us that game not the offense

Kyle williams might have lost it,but the offense certainly did not win it

You know I dont even expect to Alex to elite because we all know thats pretty much not gonna happen. I just want him to be able to hit deep plays when the defense is stacking the box and make them pay for it over the top and keep them honest. Right now we will make the playoffs and a good d coordinator will shut down our run game and thats where alex has to be able to make them pay for it but he cant do it.
