I don't respect the posters who correlate the worth of a QB with playoff success like that...
I just referenced a game in which Romo played his heart out/played good enough to win/made plays that would have won the game...
but they lost because his teammates let him down
yet no one wants to look at that; all they look at is the fact he lost
A tale of two QB's: Tom Brady had a kicker who made pivotal field goals in the tuck rule game in a god damn blizzard where no kicker had any business making those kicks...and then a kicker who made 3 game winning Super Bowl kicks as well.
Peyton Manning needed his kicker to extend a game one time against the Steelers the year the Steelers won their first Super Bowl with Big Ben...yep...just a 46 yarder. Piece of cake for Vinatieri. Vanderjagt?
This is what he got from Vanderjagt:

Probably the worst kick I've ever seen.
But Brady is super clutch because his kicker never let him down but Manning is a choker because he was never afforded that luxury.
These are just small examples. There isn't a whole lot of NFL games where a QB chokes so terribly that that is the sole reason why his team lost. If you want to argue some QB's rise to the occasion more than others, then so be it...
but this idea that Tony Romo and Peyton Manning are "chokers" but Joe Flacco is "clutch" is a ****ing joke and a terrible argument.
But that's ok...we'll throw facts at you and debate with REASON...but you can just fall back on something genious and witty and super creative like:
"oh you have a thing for QB's who swallow cock in big moments."
Great point.
