Lately, yes. Strange thing is on a per snap basis, he is pretty similar to Tom Brady in terms of Playoff Win Probability Added to his team. One key difference between them is the defenses have always helped Brady in huge ways. He won two Super Bowls against high powered Rams offenses where the Patriots offense didn't have to do much. 3 points for McVay/Goff is just insane. They averaged about 35 points per game the rest of the season. Rodgers has lost 5 playoff games where his defense was an absolute dumpster fire.
Brady has also been extremely lucky that some of his chokejobs have been bailed out by the most unusual bullshit you've ever seen. The fumble in the snow against the Raiders. The Dee Ford interception play. We would view his career a lot differently if some of those things went the other direction. Heck, Brady choked at Lambeau Field in 2020 with 3 INT's and was bailed out by Rodgers not doing anything to take advantage of it.
Check out the Playoff Win Probability Stats below. When you normalize everyone with 1,000 snaps...Brady, Rodgers, Brees are all pretty similar to each other. Mahomes is about 2X higher than all of them.
