When it comes to winning a big game (such as the last two) you have to be better then just a consistantly average quarterback. When somebody starts to chase him, it's over. He just isn't good enough to lead a team places, he is only good enough to do what a backup is supposed to do.

So all the credit in the world for what he deserves, but he doesn't deserve any more than a backup quarterback successfully going through the punches.
I dunno, I see your point about him currently, but keep in mind the guys 37years old, I wouldn't expect him to win too many foot races, especially when he was never a "running QB".

I think he can still lead a team, but has to have the proper team around him, still has a good arm and decent release, short stuff to get the D to cheat-up and then try and burn them deep, but yeah, I wouldn't expect him to scramble and out-run too many people.

I'm pretty sure he was referring to today, not 2002 when he put up some of the best numbers of his career.
