Wouldn't it make more sense to measure the QB's playoff performance against his regular season performance? Isn't that what we think of when he think "clutch" - an athlete's ability to raise his game when most necessary?
Pro Football Focus did it or somebody.
They measured QB rating and TD/INT ratio from regular season vs. post-season.
Joe Montana was #1 by a large margin. His post-season stats dwarfed his regular season stats. In the analysis, he raised his game more than anyone.
Staubach was high, Big Ben was high.
Peyton Manning was the lowest. His regular season dwarfed his embarrasing playoff numbers.

Both Eli and Flacco raise their QB Rating and TD:INT ratio at a higher rate than Montana. Granted, Montana in the playoffs is still better, but he didn't raise his level of play compared to regular season as much as those 2 have.
