NFL Nostalgia: Ranking History's Most Clutch Quarterbacks

weird list, but it got something right


1. Tom Brady
25 OF 25

   Gregory Payan/Associated Press
   Tom Brady has led 10 game-winning drives in the playoffs, four more than any other quarterback in history and as many as John Elway and Dan Marino combined.
   
   Brady has thrown 63 career postseason touchdowns, the most in history; Joe Montana is second with 45. Add Elway's 27 playoff touchdowns to Troy Aikman's 23, and you can still squeeze a Bob Griese, Joe Theismann, Jim Plunkett or Fran Tarkenton in (all have less than 13) and still wind up with fewer postseason touchdowns than Tom Brady.
   
   Brady's greatest clutch performance was his most recent. My colleagues and I typed a lot of "All Good Things Come to an End" headlines into our laptops during halftime of February's Super Bowl, especially since Brady helped dig his own hole with a pick-six.
   
   We should have known better. Brady also needed a late drive to beat the Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI. He battled Jake Delhomme tooth and nail through the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XXXVIII, prevailing on a last-second field-goal drive that defied the laws of time and space. The Seahawks led the Patriots, 24-14, in the fourth quarter of XLIX just three seasons ago; the Seahawks managed to turn Brady's comeback into their own melodrama, but only because Brady comebacks seem so inevitable (and the Seahawks can be pretty melodramatic).
   
   So Brady's comeback from 28-3 in the last Super Bowl was just a slightly more extreme example of what he has always done. Brady's Patriots may clobber weaker opponents in the first quarter to get to the big games. But when the big games arrive, no one is better at finding ways to win than Brady, except perhaps the guy who coaches him.
   
   I could go on, but the only people arguing this selection are a half-dozen dudes in faded Elway jerseys and some cranks typing CHEATRIOTS on every comment thread they can find. Brady is historic, legendary in his own time, excellent in every element of football that maters and as close to an inarguable example of the ultimate "clutch quarterback" as we will ever see.

what a fucked up list this is
Hostetler, Stafford, Dehomme. Kelly, Kosar, Williams.....LMFAO

yet 11-5 in the playoffs all time, 3-0 in SB with one SB MVP award can't make the list
no Bradshaw?????

Staubach #7 and Elway ahead of Montana

total farce

 

[YankeeRebel]

Well I'll check in on this drama tomorrow.

 

[wazzu31]

I'd put Bledsoe at the top. Bledsoe carried a shitty Pats team to a Super Bowl and taught some no named nobody from Michigan how to play QB in the NFL.

Even before I got to the 2nd comment I knew Tommy Boy was # 1 on the list. Otherwise you wouldn't have started this thread. Are your lips chapped from repeatedly kissing his ass?

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Eli # 10

Ill take it

But Marino being #9 leads me to believe this list sucks

 

[darken65]

List is a joke. Dude should be fired for writing this crap.

 

[jerseyhawksfan79]

No Rick Mirer? WTF!!

Dan McGwire?

Didn't Cool Joe lead one of the greatest Super bowl comebacks? I guess not handing the ball to Lynch makes Brady clutch.

As soon as I saw a link to Bleacher Report, I moved on.

Everyone else should too.

"Romo should be #1 or this list is BS" @TheStarOne

 

[dkmightyhammer]

From the article regarding Russell Wilson:

"He'll probably drag the deeply flawed Seahawks to the postseason yet again, where he will find himself in a showdown with a better-protected quarterback on a better-balanced team."

The Seahawks are "deeply flawed"?? OK. I was unaware of that.
