538 Calls Tom Brady the 43rd Clutchest Postseason QB
http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/...s-eli-manning/
I found the following interesting: Quote:
It projects that Manning's teams would have been 8-16 without Peyton Manning. Pretty much has always been my point. Manning has a history of not playing like God in the playoffs, but he has always had a hell of a lot more on his shoulders than Tom Brady. And the whole idea of the "Tom doesn't have enough weapons!!!" is criminally stupid. |
Doubling down on the stupid.
|
Give this up. Everyone knows Peyton sucks in the postseason, particularly when compared to Brady.
|
damn hoot, you are really taking this places.
props to starting your own web site. why did you pick 538 as the name? |
Wow, what a really stupid way to gauge players.

fivethirtyeight is owned and operated by ESPN ; it's like Grantland
and also, a hell of a lot more credible than coldhardbostondotcomwriterfootballfacts.com that is paraded around as fact by the three Patriots fans on this website The point is ... A replacement level QB would've gone 13-13 or 12-14 based off of more research than anyone on this website has EVER done over the course of Tom's 26 full postseason games. The same replacement level QB would've only gone 8-16 on Peyton's teams. Discuss. |
What's the percentages of these "replacement QBs" even making the playoffs in the first place?
|
They aren't referring to offensive talent, they're talking the team as a whole.
Peyton usually has good/great receivers, average/below average oline, Perry his RB's, and meh defenses. |

It's suggesting that he had much better teams around him. Teams. Not just an offense. Teams. For instance. In Tom Brady's 9-0 start to his postseason career, the most important part of those teams were the defense. Tom was in charge of just trying to be efficient and not ****ing up. We all know that. Skews the numbers. Peyton has always had to be the best player on his team. Always. Tom? Not during the successful part of his postseason career. Those teams were always defensive minded teams with Tom being a very efficient game manager. |

prove those replacement player win/loss numbers. |
Any method that proposes Matt Cassel could win 12 or 13 playoff games is not a valid method at all.

538=ESPN
ESPN=Create stories out of thin air to drive ratings |

This isn't about that. It's only benching Tom and Peyton for the playoff games they played in ... they are 26 1 game samples and 24 1 game samples. That's it. |
