..to lead your team, who would it be? Forget championships, we are talking pure QB skills. I would take Elway. He had the cannon arm, he was mobile, and could grasp victory in the final seconds time and time again. Dan Fouts and Warren Moon get a nod.

Joe Montana

If we're talking current players it's Tom Brady

Any other pick means you're thinking about something other then winning

Nice post bro... Anyway I would also take Elway since because of his mobility and skill in the clutch. My second choice would be Marino. And lol at all the people taking Manning he isn't even a top 5 all time QB.

Did you? He played a great game. He threw one pick that wasn't even his fault. His WR let up on the route.

And how many picks has he thrown in the clutch? How many late game comebacks has he had in his career? How many times has he been at his own 10 or 20 and put on a passing attack that goes for a touchdown? The man is clutch, he can orchestrate a comeback at any time.

I seriously find it amazing that last season people were calling him the greatest QB of all time, then he throws one pick at a bad time and suddenly he's not so great anymore.

Doesn't matter whose fault it is, that is subjective and unprovable anyways. The point is, with the game on the line, Peyton Manning threw and interception.

Nothing subjective or unprovable about it. Go watch the clip. WR clearly let up on the route. Even with the INT he was still 31/45(69%) for 333 yards and a TD. Hardly his fault the colts lost.

i don't know this question has too many variables. The obvious answer would be joe montana but that's ONLY IF he's quarterbacking those great 49'ers teams of the 80's. What would happen if he wasplaying for the bills "TEAMS" that lost 4 super bowls? Would i want him then? who knows. Some people will just never get it. No matter how "clutch" a qb is, he has to have the "team" around him on all sides of the ball to win. I mean i can argue Marino cause he never had elite players on offense, defense or special teams but yet is still put in the same class as the Montana's and every other "great" qb that has multiple championships. So maybe he would be able to get the best out of the least. I don't know. It's just too loaded of a question

I never said it was his fault (even though he threw an INT to seal the deal). Looks like Peyton threw a bad pass to me, and also Tracy Porter made a great play. Like I said though, it doesn't matter whose "fault" it is. The only thing that matters is Manning threw an INT. He isn't even the most clutch Colts QB of all time, let alone the most clutch in league history.

Either Montana or Unitas.

Elway gets an honorable mention for his 4th Quarter comebacks.

Never said he was clutch anything. Only that the INT he threw in the Superbowl wasn't his fault. Whether or not you feel hes clutch of not there is no doubt he is one of the best ever. The guy can flat out play.

What does this prove exactly? Look this thread wasn't supposed to be a huge argument about Peyton Manning. So I will say this, and nothing more. It does not matter why or how it happened. Montana didn't throw the INT and Manning did.

Porter caught the interception, Lewis dropped it. They're both legendary QBs who made 1 mistake, 1 got punished and is somehow all of a sudden a choker, the other one got lucky and got away with it and is somehow the most clutch QB of all-time.

I know this is going off topic but I'd just like to say that INT was Peyton's fault. The route was jumped, Reggie couldn't do anything about it. Porter baited the throw because the Colts always go to that play and he knew the route before Reggie ran it. It was a great play by Porter, but it was a mistake by Peyton who should've read the coverage before making the throw. As far as him being the most "clutch" QB of all time, that's debatable, but I do think he's one the best of all time.

THANK YOU. And even if you do put that INT squarely on Manning, the argument that it suddenly makes him not clutch is total crap anyways. Is there really a QB who has ever played that can say they've never thrown a pick on a drive where they needed a score? No, they've all made mistakes from time to time. One pick, ONE, out of the multiple times that Manning has driven his team from inside his own ten or twenty to score is frankly nothing. When the Colts need a score, nine times out of ten he gives it to them no matter how much time is left or how far he has to go. You seriously cannot sit there with a stratight face and say that just because it's nine times out of ten instead of ten out of ten he isn't a clutch QB anymore, it's a completely invalid argument.

Super Bowl comebacks>Regular season comebacks. Too bad that 1 out of 10 was in the Super Bowl. Peyton isn't even the most clutch Colts QB ever, let alone in league history. Is he clutch? Yes. Top ten clutch QB? Laughable. Give me Kenny Stabler in the clutch over Peyton Manning. Or Otto Graham, or Roger Staubach.
