I suppose we can agree that a player's legacy is not always fair. But results are all that matter. And I do appreciate your statistical sleuthwork. <3 sport nerd discussions. =D
Oh, don't get me wrong. Peyton is a fantastic QB. If not the best, certainly top 3 in modern history. I'm not saying all the Colts' issues are on him, as you can see by the Kerry Collins experience on Sunday, the team is **** with Peyton.
Clutch being that you can count on that player to play great when it counts. Usually when a QB plays great, barring an absolute shitshow from the defense (what's up 2009 Packers), that team wins.
Now let's leave the words behind and focus on the stats like the nerds we are.
Here are stats form Peyton's post season:

What it basically says, to me, is that I'm half right and half wrong. This is the first time I've looked in depth at his post season stats and I think his public perception is incredibly hurt by those few terrible games he had. When you can't put up TDs and throw multiple INTs, it's going to hurt your reputation. Ironically, it looks like his SB winning year 2006 was his worst post season performance on average. But yes, he has had some incredible post season performances.
