Message: <blockquote data-quote="paulska" data-source="post: 549070" data-attributes="member: 557">What does having perspective about the kind of QB Eli is have to do with having an inflated view of Dilfer and Johnson? Both of the latter are examples of QBs who were efficient and error free at their best, and both had their greatest successes with teams that played to those strengths while fielding tremendous defenses which meant they rarely had to play from behind or press for scores in their strongest seasons. Neither of them excelled when they had to be the reason their team won.All I was trying to say is that too many people, in my view, have an overinflated view of what Eli actually is, based on the complete body of his work, because he won two SB's. There's no question he caught lightning in a bottle TWICE to win those, and he played unreal football for those stretches. I'm just amazed at how many people look exclusively at those stretches and feel they are the defining aspect of his career and capability- there are HUGE chunks of regular season play that contradict those moments to a profound degree.Connect the dots for me on how holding that one opinion means I'm blindly overestimating the respective talents of Dilfer and Johnson?</blockquote>
