Watching the 3rd quarter last night got me thinking... these are Manning's 4 drives to open the second half of each playoff game (IIRC, the last was killed by a holding call).
I wonder how many quarterbacks have been this good at making the adjustments at halftime, and then coming out and wearing down a defense that's just rested for 20 minutes (and maybe even made some adjustments themselves).
The drive against the Chiefs killed us, the one against the Patriots was obviously the biggest drive of the game, and the drive against the Bears should have put them away (and it let an already-shaky Grossman sit on the sideline for half the quarter).
I don't think anyone would mind him on their team.
