The ESPN scales per game were a bit harsh but to some extent it comes to the QB play. I mean even last year people wanna lay blame on rahim moore for the hail mary how about the two kickoff return scores that Manning had nothing to do with? you subtract those two and the one missed play by moore and Ravens still win so we can play these if this happened games all we want but just because your having a good passer rating game or completion percentage does not mean losing a game can't be your fault. Its plain fact that two ill-timed Interceptions just off the top of my head cost them two games plain and simple. The Ravens OT INT lost the game for them and the Pick 6 he threw in the Superbowl against Brees and the Saints was absolutely atrocious at that time and field position. Tony Romo has great QBR and Passer Rating this season but why is he still considered a choker? Simple, because he seems to throw INT's at the worst possible times to end games and Manning rarely does that in the Regular Season but seems to do it very often when it comes to the playoffs and hes playing good competition. We'll see if he can prove the haters wrong(myself included) this weekend but as far as i'm concerned I personally feel he's gonna have another pretty good game and not take care of the ball at the end and its gonna cost his team the game again and this debate will continue going on.
Teddy Roosevelt:
The weird thing is the year Manning won the Super Bowl was one of his worst playoff performances statistically. He threw 3 TDs and 7 INTs and had a passer rating of 70.5.

The only weird thing is how people are so blind to the very simple fact that teams win and lose games and QBs are usually just along for the ride, be that a good or bad ride for the QB. The main reason the QB gets all the credit and the blame is because they are the only majority Caucasian face left in the world of sports. If every QB was black or latino and most RBs were white it'd very quickly turn back into a running back driven league.

But you are assuming that had the run backs been stopped that the Broncos would have come up with zero points on them. Who is to say both would have have been TD drives and that took time off the clock and won the game in regulation for the Broncos?

You love bringing up numbers yet you seem to always ignore mine. Every season of 10 or more wins, right? A passer rating of 97.2 to go with those 10+ win seasons. And in the last 0-5 one and dones a passer rating of 95.2
Two numbers for you; 97.2 and 95.2
EXPLAIN THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
