You tried to make them appear equivalent. I responded with a counter.

Giants D-line played lights out and milked the laws of physics in their favor. Cutler's not going to overcome EVERY game, but he has made it work against Green Bay and Dallas and a few others. He's outdone Campbell in that regard. He and the refs are why the Bears are overachieving as much as they are. Put in someone with worse pocket presence and the like, and they're lucky to even milk out one win.
