Everybody not named Tebow torched that shytty ass defense.
Exactly. That's why I hate this so and so outplayed so and so nonsense. When that bum Delhomme lit up the Pats and Brady lit up the Panthers those were two good defenses. Brady went up against an elite defense and Eli ran up against the Pats. The Pats that had a dedicated thread on SOHH about how every QB gets their numbers up when they play them. The Pats that made Joe Flacco look like an all-timer. Eli only puts up 17 against that defense and I'm supposed to be sitting here acting like he showed me something about him I didn't already know?
The media laughed at him because at the time that shyt was blasphemous. At no point in his career did it ever even deserve consideration. He's a very good QB, and elite if you line up all the NFL's QBs but let's not be ridiculous. Eli is not Brady or his brother and he's not putting up numbers without elite talent at wide out. That's not a knock.
