He did a nice job of escaping the pressure in the first place, but the throw was just him chucking it down field. Tyree made the play. The fact is Eli has never had to make every play like Peyton has had to do if he wants to win. He finally gets a good defense and what did that defense do once in the playoffs, choked hard core.
As far as Peyton is concerned, I would choose several other QB's if I only had to choose for one game, the SB. That doesnt change that Peyton had to carry average at best teams when in Indy. Eli never had to carry an above average team with the best pass rush in the game, he just had to play his role and the team performed like a real team.

Come on he just chucked it down field? Your making my point. One of the best plays in SB history and the only credit you give him is chucking the ball down field. His brother would have gone down to avoid taking a hit like he normally does.
