I got it - you see beyond the amazing stats. Your a strictly W-L kind of guy? Well, maybe Rodgers has a few years left to impress you as much he has me.
Tom Brady's passer rating in the postseason is only 0.5 higher than Peyton's. Yet we know that Brady is FAR superior to him in the playoffs.
As you said, Rodgers has the highest passer rating in postseason history, but it would obviously be silly to consider him a better playoff QB than Brady or Montana.
That right there should let you know that passer rating is meaningless.
Passer rating scales each of the components that go into the formula based on data that is 40+ years old, when the game was completely different than what it is today. It also puts way more emphasis on completions than it should.
It's a meaningless metric.
