This was Trent Dilfer in his PRIME. Earlier in his career, he just plain sucked.
The "best" that he ever got was average. Career completion percentage: 55.5%. TD to INT ratio: 113-129. QB rating: 70.2.
His two best seasons, one in which he made the Pro Bowl in Tampa Bay, the other Baltimore's Super Bowl season:
1. Completion percentage: 56.2%. TD to INT ratio: 21 to 11. QB rating: 82.8.
2. Completion percentage: 59.3%. TD to INT ratio: 12 to 11. QB rating: 76.6.
This was the best that he ever got. The worst was abysmal.
A good comparison I think.
I think that Eli is much more flashy than Dilfer. As evidenced by this past season:
Completion percentage: 62.3%. TD to INT ratio: 27 to 14. QB rating: 93.1.
I also think that Eli's last drive to win his Super Bowl was proof in the clutch. I would have never trusted Dilfer to be able to pull out a drive like that.
I disagree. To a point.
As much as Romo was over hyped coming in after Bledsoe... there was an unmistakable difference in the Cowboy's fortunes.
Other than the "wins" column, compare their season stats:

Romo is *part* of the Cowboys success. I think that he's a good... not great QB. I think that the Cowboys would be worse off with an average QB.
