I recall similar sentiment about Peyton at one point in his career. Was it justified?

Trevor has had a handful of chances at winning a close game in his career thus far. Let's let him have some time before we decide if he's "clutch" or not. It could take years before he has the experience and roster that can allow for him to have the opportunity to take over a game late.

Peyton was considered to be a bit of a choker in the playoffs, I don't think anyone thought he wasn't clutch in the regular season lol. Also Rodgers imo would fall in that same category, he hasn't been great in the playoffs barring that one SB run.

Agreed on both players. Peyton had some ugly performances in his four Superbowl appearances. Even the two that he won were pretty ugly. Rodgers I think fits the same exact mold. 

His one Superbowl victory also came against a Steelers team that had it's entire offensive line completely decimated. I want to say they had a guard or tackle starting in that game after they picked him up off the street two or three weeks prior to the game. 

Great QB's. Don't get me wrong. Would have taken either one of them in a heartbeat as a fan here in Jacksonville growing up. However, when it's all said and done. People will remember you for what you did or didn't do in big moments. 

Both of them fall short in the play-off's.

I'm not talking about choking in the playoffs, I'm saying that there has been discussion about Rodgers' poor record in close games. He's improved since in that record over the last few years, but the point is if you think "clutch" is what matters then you would probably think Rodgers isn't any good, either. I think Jax would definitely take Rodgers' career for Trevor, but maybe I'm wrong about that.
