I don't believe a franchise QB is necessarily defined by numbers, but rather by what he does at the most critical junctures of the games that mean the most.

I was never comfortable with Trent Green in the clutch, but to be fair he never really was tested that often.

What I do know is that a QB who doesn't have the mental makeup and talent to perform in regular season games without a RB who defenses key on is not a guy I want to "lead" my team in the playoffs.
