When has Aaron Rodgers ever had an offensive line?

Why? 3 Super Bowls, 5 AFC titles, 17 playoff wins. How can he ever be considered average in the playoffs?


Those are still incredibly small sample sizes to base any judgments off of. The truth is that "clutch" is effectively just a myth.

Wins are also team accomplishments. Ignoring all context and the player's actual performance is dumb.

in his last 8 playoff games, Brady's record is 3-5


The crazy thing about Brady is that his greatness doesn't coincide with his Super Bowls. When he was winning Super Bowls he was good, not great. The Patriots D was great.

Then he got Moss and Welker started putting up insane numbers, but the defense hasn't been as good and hasn't won a Super Bowl since.

Drew Brees has been awesome at home, but has had struggles in playoff road games.

His playoff numbers are insane. 23 TDs, 6 Ints, 101.9 rate

And this is proof that winning is more about the entire team than just having the best QB.

It seems like it's difficult for teams with a large percentage of their cap tied up in a QB to win a superbowl. Look at the recent winners and their QB situation:

Flacco
Eli
Rodgers (before a massive contract)
Brees (before a massive contract)
Roth-burger
Eli
Peyton (only one so far with a huge cap hit)
