That SOB can make some plays when the chips are down.

Seems like a meaningless stat to me.
A great QB leads a great team, therefore has little to prove in the 4th quarter. Stats will be down.

Meanwhile, an average QB on a bad team will be chucking it up over and over. This style of play may produce big stats, despite not translating to wins.
I'd love to see a stat like this: 4th quarter QB rating while up by 7 or less or losing. That, to me, is a clearer sign of a great QB.
4th quarter QBR, +/- 7 points, 2010 season
Tom Brady 97.6
Drew Brees 94.4
Peyton Manning 84.5
Philip Rivers 67.2
Aaron Rodgers 94.2
Ben Roethlisberger 82.8
Michael Vick 138.7
There's your clear sign.
lol, how the hell did you work that out?
I made it up like some of the local beat writers do... j/k
ESPN stats has a "splits" category with all sorts of breakdowns, by month, by surface, by weather, by quarter, by down, by down and length, and a ton of others.
Here's the link to Brady's:
Tom Brady Splits - New England Patriots - ESPN
If anyone cares, Brady's QBR the last 2 minutes of a half is 104.1, another sign of still being clutch.
Rating mitigates the effect of leading or trailing. Accumulating 4th qtr stats would follow your example, but rating not so much.Seems like a meaningless stat to me.
