[QUOTE="PackersRS, post: 338507, member: 1429"] Not really. Playoffs is where it matters the most in every aspect. Specially quarterbacking. Now, it's more than Wins and Losses. It's HOW he performs. Per instance, Payton Manning boasts an impressive 94.0 regular season QB rating. But why doesn't he have more rings? Well, it's not the receivers and the line and everybody else's fault, contrary to what Mr. Manning wants you to believe. During the playoffs, where things get thougher, where defenses are better, Manning has an 88.4 QB rating. While it's nothing bad, it certainly isn't worthy of the best QB of all time. Now, take Bart Starr as an example. Starr has a reg. season career rating of 80.5. By the time, it was much harder to get that than it is today, as exampled by Unitas' 78.2 career rating. But when it mattered the most, during playoffs, Starr had an incredible 104.8 QB rating in 10 games, which, even by today's standards, is incredible. That's why the Green Bay Packers were such dominant force in the 60's, and that's why Mr. Starr is the greatest QB to ever play the game.
