I question his ability to lead a team to victory in the playoffs against other elite squads, that have stronger play at the QB position. The Saints win is not enough to convince me in that regard (the playoff loss to the Giants is much more damning than the Saints win is praising, IMO). I want them to look at upgrading if he doesn't raise his play and show he can consistently make the big-time plays (over the course of an entire game) a QB often has to make to win playoff games. If he does (what I honestly hope for but don't BELIEVE yet), there is no need to upgrade.

Out of curiousity, why do you feel the Giants game has more weight?
