this website has preached postseason play as the "be all, end all" of determining how good a QB is ...
Russell Wilson has been a better postseason QB than anyone for 3 years in a row, now ... minus, perhaps, Tom Brady last year. Hell, I'll even say Tom was better than Russell last year.
Russell has been the best postseason QB 2 out of 3 years and 2nd best that 3rd year.
The 2 games he has lost were games in which he displayed nothing but clutch play. His 2nd half against Atlanta was LEGENDARY. He had the game WON against New England. Plain and simple. He won that ****ing game. He posted a 92.2 QBR. It was his ... and then the play call. Worst play call in the history of the NFL.
And those are his two losses.
1) Best half I've ever seen from a QB ... scores game winning TD ... Seattle's VAUNTED defense let's Matt Ryan complete two ridiculous passes and Bryant nails a 50 yarder to win.
2) Worst play call in the history of the NFL.
6-2
BUT HEY
Let's talk about a blowout game against New Orleans where Drew Brees was shut out because Drew Brees is pretty overrated (why do Peyton and Tom always win their division while Drew misses the playoffs consistently?) and throwing 4 INT's in another one that he ends up playing the most clutch 5 minutes in the history of the NFL to advance his team to a Super Bowl.
but
let's ignore 12-33 in the AFCCG from Andrew Luck because apparently it's him and 52 guys off the street
