That is true, but then you would have to say that of all comparisons
Post season he was key at times. So that could still break his way.
AND, perhaps our D will be much better during most of the season(unlike 2011), so that he won't be in position to have all those comebacks he 'enjoyed' during 2011..
Finally, it can be argued that Brady is better now than he was in 2011..Not saying he is, but possible..

I think it's fair to say that 30 year old Eli is likely to be better than 36 year old Eli. 36 year old Eli could produce very good results, but those would also be at least partly a result of the supporting cast.
It's so difficult to isolate one player's performance in football, obviously.
Not sure about Perkins be Bradshaw. Brandshaw imo was a stud. His feet (injuries) failed him. Could barely practice his last couple of years here IIRC. Perkins looks to be abetter as a pass catcher but Bradshaw year one showed a lot more as a runner. This year will tell us a lot. OL was light years better in 2011. That makes QB and RB a lot harder to judge hear vs year IMO.
lol kidding aside - we can hope this pans out like this
