"Choker" is almost always entirely narrative. If Brady hadn't brought the Patriots down the field to win the Super Bowl against the Rams and Panthers, thus cementing him forever as the comeback king, then the 2005 divisional game, 2006 AFCCG, and the playoff losses the last few years would have given him a choker label. He still gets a bizarre and undeserved label for 'choking' in the Super Bowls against the Giants, despite leading potential game-winning drives, including a would-be historically great one on the level of "The Catch" in 2007, in both games.
Note that this doesn't apply to Peyton Manning, who actually usually costs his team the game in the postseason (as opposed to Romo, whose defense usually costs him the game). I'm sort of half kidding there though.
