The Giants 2 Super Bowl runs:
Eli: 259 yards per game, 15 TDs to 2 INTs, 100.1 passer rating
Defense: allowed 15.1 ppg
The Steelers 2 Super Bowl runs:
Ben: 214 yards per game, 10 TDs to 4 INTs, 96.7 passer rating
Defense: allowed 17.6 ppg + a key pick 6 in the SB vs Cards
I'm just not seeing much difference between Eli and Ben. If anything, Eli carried his offense more and turned it over less. Both D's were outstanding.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
