Alex Smith vs. Rich Gannon

[Kaepernick]

Those are all exceptions that prove the rule.

My greater point is that even an inconsistent passer like Eli can still get to and win super bowls, because sometimes their gambles pay off. Yes, sometimes they kill you, but sometimes they get lucky and their gambles pay off. Eli got lucky when the 49ers dropped 2 easy interceptions, yet his gambling eventually paid off and got him a 2nd ring.

Well, I wouldn't go that far.

Eli had two dropped picks, one of them which led to both Goldson and Tarrell Brown being off the field when Eli threw the td to manningham after the ball off the knee.

There was everything that went right for the Giants that went wrong for the 49ers.

I cant remember the 49er who said it, but, the best team didn't win that day.
