Alex isn't in the top-tier of NFL QB's but he's close to earning a spot somewhere on the second or third rung.  So he's not a Manning, Brady, Brees or Rivers but this year he showed he could be a Flacco, Romo or Ryan. That may be good enough if SF's defense stays at an elite level and Harbaugh can add talent at Wide Receiver and Defensive Back.
Yesterday the QB story was on the other side of the ball where I was impressed with Eli Manning. Peyton's younger brother played tough, consistent and ACCURATE football despite being knocked down on roughly 50% of his passing plays. Eli has grown up and rendered the old "book" on him obsolete. Where in his early pro years Eli had the reputation of losing composure and getting happy-feet under pressure there were no signs of those tendencies in the NFC Championship Game.Â
Good for him - I will briefly be a Giant fan during the Eastern Seaboard Championship in two weeks time although my passion will be a mile wide and an inch deep. Sigh ....
