Has a QB ever needed to win a playoff game in such a short period of time as A-Rod?

[QUOTE="Texpackerfan, post: 327822, member: 3380"] The thing that bugs me the most is that this is only his 3rd year and people are saying he has to win to be an elite QB. Rivers is considered and elite QB without having been in a championship game. Of course, the pressure wasn't on him immediately. Romo put up big #'s and the pressure was on. Of course playing for Dallas has something to do with that. I think it has to do with expectations. Because so many people (fans and alike) criticized the Packers decision to go forward with Rodgers rather than Favre, it was as if Rodgers had to win a SB IMMEDIATELY to show that the Packers made the right decision. Combined with the fact he put up great #'s and couldn't seem to win the big game [as if it's not a team sport] people were quick to point out he's not elite. Also in his first year, as productive as he was he didn't have any of those signature winning drives as Matt Ryan has produced this year. Again, I don't think there has ever been a QB, (except for Steve Young, surely, there's a few more) that has the kind of pressure to win a playoff game almost immediately such as A-Rod. [/QUOTE]
