He is who he is because in the playoffs, he plays extremely efficient football and is at his best when the defense and running game fairly consistently give him something to work with. In the second run, he was much more productive. His first run was your classic "manage games, don't make mistakes, and make big plays when needed."
I don't care if he threw for 4,900 yards a few years ago. You do realize that the 2011 Giants were a complete shit show in the regular season and barely squeezed in.

Well, "playoff runs" meaning 3 one and done post seasons (113 yards, 161, 169), the first SB run (two games of 250+), and the 2nd SB (277, 330, 316, 296).... so yeah, none of that is incredibly surprising.
