That is quite amazing.
You bring up an interesting topic that involves QB records and although I don't get too wrapped around the whole "best of all time" debate, its been said that a QB's legacy is defined by what they do in the postseason.
For that to apply, a QB needs to demonstrate the following:
1. The number of trips to the postseason
This gives value to the consistency of their team's performance in the regular season. I like to refer to this as the Eli factor. He's had some great runs in the post season and a lot of media members like to throw out the elite word around him when he has, but over the course of his career, he's had some significant down years. Over a 10 year career, a QB must go to the post season at least 7 times (just my opinion)
2. Won/loss record combined with point 1. I like to refer to this as the Peyton factor. Great regular record, great stats but boy, his record in the playoffs (9-11) really will be the asterisk when discussing the all time greats. This also takes into consideration those QB's that have great winning percentages (Trent Dilfer) but have had few trips to the postseason. A great QB over a 10 year career would have at least 7 trips to the postseason and would win 2/3 of their games (just throwing out rough numbers). That would require 3 or more games played each playoff season which would mean you would need to advance to the SB or the conference championship game. It would also imply that this QB would play in at least 21 playoff games (7 trips x 3) and win 14 of them (2/3).
3. Super Bowl wins
If the QB has met the above 2 qualifications, then this is the final factor.
This really in my opinion simply determines who earns the right to be considered in the pool of all time greats and looks at post season performance and the following in no particular order would make up this group:
Tom Brady 17-7 3 SB wins
Joe Montana 16-7 4 SB wins
John Elway 14-7 2 SB wins
An argument could be made for others (Terry Bradshaw, Roger Staubach given there was one less playoff game when they played) but in my view eliminates others that have performed well in the playoffs but have had fewer trips (Troy Aikman).
This certainly isn't something to write a thesis on and is not without argument but tries to establish measurement.
Sorry for hijacking your thread AJ, but you inspired me to consider this on a slow Saturday morning (and allows me to procrastinate a little more before having to do my honey-do's for the day).
