He hold's 2 of the best performances in the playoffs in a single game all time:
He's at #1 and #3 ahead of Joe Montana and a whole bunch of other QB's. Brady's is at #9.
I don't think this article is idiotic or wrong, if anything, it just goes a little too far.
The fact is, Manning has been an absolute choker in the playoffs and Warner hasn't. Also, how could you possible say that Warner has had the better offense (OL, WR, RB) around him than Peyton? The Colts are built for Peyton. Peyton has had absolutely horrid playoff games and has managed to lose their first playoff game 6 of 9 times. No QB has ever had such success in the regular season (117-59) and failure in the playoffs (3-8).
There is no denying the fact that Manning is the better QB during the regular season... but there is also no denying the fact that Warner has been the better QB during the playoffs (significantly).
CHFF is saying that it's more important to play your best in the playoffs rather than the regular season. They are saying they would take Warner because he is good enough during the regular season to take his team to the playoffs, but then, unlike Manning, elevates his game to another level in the playoffs.
As Pats fans, we have preached that winning (especially in the playoffs) is far more important than just stats. In that case, if Warner were to go on to win the Superbowl, it would be hard to argue that Manning is the better QB. Sure, he might have the better regular season stats, but Warner is the one who has consistently succeeded in the playoffs.
