@Ice_Ice_Brady ,this is an outstanding effort no matter what arguments ensue and whatever holes can be punched in your methodology.
I've been mulling doing a similar exercise that's more stats-based, but that understandably opens a huge can of worms. I regret not doing that in 2020 when I mostly had the time.
In my imaginary exercise, I'd put a lot if work in measuring playoff performance in the context of its single elimination format: You didn't just win a SB, but rather you won 3 (or 4) straight games against winning teams. How much of that was the QB, both the wins and losses? For example, in Brady's 12 playoff eliminations, how much of that was on him? Maybe I'd include a WOLAB factor: "Went out like a female dog"...think Manning in SB48 or Montana in the 1986 divisional. Also, a "Went down fighting" factor, like Brady in 2015 or Montana in the 1983 NFCCG.
Keep up the great work.
Regards,
Chris
