Peyton Manning will forever go down as the most unclutch QB in playoff history - Houston Texans Message Board & Forum

I know his defense has let him down (both the colts in the past and broncos today) and he has one ring, but Peyton Manning will go down as the most unclutch & overrated quarterback in playoff history.

Anti-Clutch I'm sure, but over-rated?

First ballot HOFer...... they'll probably induct him the year before his first ballot.

The NFL version of Warren Moon also disagrees.

That is why he said "NFL" version. Moon was the biggest playoff choke artist that I ever had the displeasure of rooting for.

I think more than anything it shows that as good as he is, he needs a great coach to protect him from himself...he has too much leeway in terms of dictating what the offense does. You need someone on the outside to help you break tendencies and to do things outside of the box.

..they tried to do this early in the season by running other offensive packages that weren't part of the "manning" offense at different stretches ...and the offense with manning didn't look so hot. So they just went all manning and got rolling, but when u get to the playoffs and face teams with solid defenses, they know how to slow that down and frustrate him...

Manning ego gets in the way of him at times. He never listens to his coaches all the time and gets a major free pass from the media.

Its not that he doesnt listen, coaches trust him too much is all..& he's too aggressive offensively b/c he's always looking for the quick score. They fall into the trap of trusting him too much b/c during the regular season, he more often than not comes thru for them with this aggressive style and the points fly...but in the playoffs, those quick scores and that agressiveness bites them and him in the ass b/c good defenses aren't going to Allow that.

As a coach, you've got to resist the urge to put your complete offense in his hands...

**ObsiWan** · 01-12-2013

Yes... yes....

I see a Manning on our screen, sir
