I don't think that Deliverance's post season stats are bad, but he does come up small in the biggest moments in the post season mroe often than not.

He has, in fact, come up big only once, when he led the Colts to a late score against the Patriots in '06 on their way to their only SB win.

Every other time in his career, when the team needed him to step up in the post season, he has shrunk in those moments.

I see your point. TBH I didn't watch enough Colts playoff games to know if the losses were all on Manning or not. I'm glad to be rid of Tebow but am under no illusions about our 37 year old QB that hasn't played in 18 months and is coming off a series of neck procedures.

You must be the only Bronco fan that has said something so blasphemous.

Not true. His games against the Broncos and Chiefs were amazing. He was great against the Jets and Ravens. Maybe not the stat line but his play was damn good against really good defenses

I am talking about making plays in the waning minutes of games when you need the QB to step up and make plays.

He has this reputation as a guy that makes plays when plays need to be made, but when the playoffs roll along, he has consistently failed to get the job done in those crucial late moments.
