If you want a list of QBs who shine in big moments thats a different thing.
Look, if Vick won the SB last year he would be #1 and Eli would be top 10.
The list is a joke.

I disagree with you regarding Eli.
A few observations.
We have reached this era of prolific passing in the NFL - This was the year of the quarterback. Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers - set NFL records for passing yards, Brady was close.
But in the end only one quarterback was left standing - Winning MVP in the Super Bowl not once but twice in four years - Playing behind the worst pass blocking offensive line in the league.
The 15-01 Packers led, by Aaron Rodgers - were defeated 37-20 at home. The 13-03 49ers led, by Alex Smith - were defeated 20-17. The 13-03 Patriots led, by Tom Brady - were defeated 21-17 in Super Bowl XLVI - Perpetrated by the Giants and engineered by Manning - with none of those victories coming on home field.
Manning’s greatest characteristic is his ability to be clutch. He has established himself as the best clutch quarterback in the NFL.
Can you talk a little bit further about why your choices didn't make it to Super Bowl XVLI?
TIA
