[QUOTE="PackersRS, post: 379480, member: 1429"] In postseason, yes, but in the regular season, on a period that the passing game is the focus of the league and stats are generated more easily, his stats are too awful. Plus, he's also, like Aikman, not the most important player in his offense, as it is tailored to the running game. Well, that's because the QBs are far and away the single most important position in any of the modern professional sports. Their impact in the wins and losses are tremenduous, they can almost single-handedly win a game. If an NFL team failed to reach a championship in 15+ years, and if he wasn't able to perform well when it mattered, it is most certainly is his fault, unless that he played on really inept teams, which isn't the case of Marino, Manning, Elway... And even in the RBs' case, there are people that question whether Jim Brown is the greatest ever because he failed to win a title, and because his postseason stats are awful. So, why, if they're so talented, they failed to perform well when it mattered, against great competition, when they had talented teams, and other guys like Montana and Starr were able to? Well, I believe it coincided with the arrival of Bill Polian. His team winning so much in the regular season doesn't mean that Manning is really good, it just means that his team is really good. The teams under Starr, Montana... did the same. It's not that because HE gets the attention that he is thought of as overrated. It's because some people consider that yards and tds are measurables of greatness, and some people think that those stats are overrated. Not trying to be belligerent in here, in the end it's a discussion about a matter of opinion, or football philosophy in the professional's case. [/QUOTE]
