That is why he is the best Regular Season quarterback of all time. I personally cannot consider him the best of all time when his only super bowl came when he threw 3 touchdowns to 7 interceptions on that playoff run.
He has talented teams that have gone 13-3/14-2, and there offense looks unstoppable, until they get into the playoffs then Peyton Manning, the offense, and the team plays well below their level. It is what happened last year with Denver.
I can't consider him the best of all time when he has 8 one and dones in the playoffs, more than double any other quarterback, and a losing record in the playoffs speaks a lot to me. Especially when your defense actually plays well in those games.
Its not just all him, it is never all on the quarterback, but I have noticed a significant difference in play when Peyton Manning plays in the playoffs.
It is why I consider Tom Brady/Joe Montana/Unitas right now ahead of him. But like I said he can change that easily if he performs and does his part in the playoffs.
Stats/Wins/Performance all matter. I think all are overrated by themselves, but all can help paint a picture.
