Quote:Before Peyton Manning actually won a superbowl - was he also considered a choker and a QB that is "not elite".... please answer.

Even in the SEC he was a choker, was a choker early in his career, but people still thought he was elite because HE WAS elite.

 

Schaub hasn't been able to get the Texans to the superbowl... injuries also played part in it.  He's 1-1 in the playoffs, with his loss coming against Tom Brady.  Let's not pretend he's like 0-10.

 

Now, by no means am I saying Schaub is elite - but simply saying he is just like Henne is just wrong.

 

Peyton has a penchant for choking in the playoffs, but his case was entirely different. During the regular season he had tons of games that he carried his team.

 

Peyton is an elite QB, but he's also a choker.

 

Schaub is a game manager and a choker.

 

However, you're right, he probably should be considered better than Henne. He's at least been smart enough through his career to not throw tons of brainless interceptions as Henne has. In the end, though, I'd rather not have either of them as my starting QB.
