The ability to forget the last play

What separates the good qb from a great one is that the great one can make avg or subpar receivers turn into good legitimate NFL starters. This is why Brady,Manning,Brees, and Rodgers are on an elite level..and then there's everyone else.

I've watched the likes of Brady, Montana, and Marino who were very productive and still managed to get by without superstar receivers. How? It had to be good field vision that enabled them to progress through their reads and make plays.

I think you raise a good point, but on Montana, I think Jerry Rice qualifies as a superstar. He was only named the #1 player in the history of the NFL recently on the 100 greatest players countdown. Yes, Montana won in 82 with Clark and Taylor, who were still pretty damn good, but the other 2...

ELITE:
TOM BRADY
PAYTON MANNING,

THE BEST OF THE REST:
DREW BREES CAREER 2001-2010, DURABLE, 35,266 YARDS, 235 TD, SUPER BOWL MVP
ELI MANNING CAREER 2004-2010, DURABLE, 22,646 YARDS, 156 TD, SUPER BOWL MVP
ROETHLISBERGER CAREER 2004-2010 DURABLE, 22,502 YARDS, 144 TD, (2) SUPER BOWL
ROGERS CAREER 2005-2010, (2008-9,10 STARTER) 12,723 YARDS, 87 TD, SUPER BOWL MVP

AVERAGE:
MICHAEL VICK CAREER 2001-2010* 14,609 YARDS, 93 TD
PHIL RIVERS CAREER 2004-2010, 19,661 YARDS, 136 TD

* VICK- 2007, 2008 Suspension

Average, had their chance and failed.

There are six active quarterbacks that have won the Super Bowl. I think it's hard to make any sort of sustainable point without measuring overall consistency in postseason play.

Often, a quarterback's consistency is the difference in winning or losing. When you get closer to the big game, the most successful quarterbacks makes critical plays at critical times.

Playoffs are where reputations are made, as this is where the elite winners shine.

Winning the Super Bowl is the icing on the cake.

They know that 90-95% of their work is forgotten, because it's garbage. So they are concise. They don't make up their minds while they're still talking
