I hate the whole "clutch" argument. It makes no sense to me

See I just think pedestrian is a bit of an exaggeration. Don't get me wrong, I really like Peyton Manning. May be my favorite non-Chief player to watch. On top of that Brady has always annoyed me. So I agree that Manning is expected to be all-world or he gets blame, but I also have seen him do things in the playoffs he deserves blame for. Like I said, some of that comes from having to force things since his roster was never really built to win big games without him being perfect. That goes double for the early days when he faced the Pats, prior to the rule changes where Ty Law could hold WR's at will.
