You know what, here is some Peyton Manning praise.

Sure, Peyton Manning has been in two Super Bowls and wasn't the greatest in, well, either.He even lost on of them thanks to an interception. Yeah, he has lost in the playoffs more time than he has won and has seven games where he didn't even win a single game. Yes, it is also true that his quarterback rating is just 88.4 in the postseason, but that doesn't mean he is the worst big-game quarterback of all time. Not at all!

For all of the abundant amounts of choking Manning does in the playoffs, here is some praise for Mr. Manning. Truth be told, he is not the biggest choke artist in the history of the game and I want to take a moment and give respects to the biggest choke artist in history of the NFL (quarterback-wise, that is...at the very least).



This quarterback was in the playoffs eight times and won nine games (hey, that is a better winning percent than Peyton. Maybe I need to rethink this post). He was called one of the greats in the game, like Manning is today. Similarly, he didn't show it in the playoffs.

In the Wild Card round of the playoffs, he was 1-1 with 2 TDs, 3 INTs, and a meager 75.7 quarterback rating.

The Divisional round, thanks to the bye, allowed him to play more games resulting in a 4-2 record. Not bad, guy! More games over .500 in a round than Peyton, but you're still worse. He finished the round with carrer stats of 13 TDs and 10 INTs resulting in a quarterback rating of 85.1. Stat-wise, put him in and there was a shot he was going to the next around.

The Conference Championship round was even better to him win-wise. Quarterback-wise, not so much. In his five games in the round, he managed just four TDs and 8 INT. That, of course, results in a crappy 66.6 (hmm) quarterback rating.

The Super Bowl is where this quarterback had four nasty, nasty games. Super Choke's Super Bowl stats looked like this:
Record: 0 - 4
TD/INT: 2-7
Completion %: 55.9
QBR: 56.9

To be fair to Jim Kelly, he wasn't a huge numbers guy in his career in the regular seasonwith just an 84.4 QBR while throwing 237 TDs and 175 INTs, but a choke is a choke in my book.
