re: Peyton vs. Eli "in the clutch"

I'd like the see the % of mutliple-interception losses in the playoffs versus all playoff appearances. For Peyton, Eli, Brady, etc

I would bet dollars to donuts that Manning's is much higher, despite being the most technically skilled QB of all time.

It would also be interesting to see what the correlation is between multiple interceptions thrown and passing attempts, rushing yards and time of possession.

If you have to throw, and the defense knows it, then they are probably going to be focused on stopping the pass first.

Solely focusing on the interceptions puts a bias on the statistical model.

Why?

In his 23 career postseason starts, Manning has 5 multiple INT losses (21%). In 6 of his losses, he had 0 or 1.

In Eli Manning's 11 career postseason starts, Eli has 2 multiple INT losses (18%). He had 1 INT in his other loss.

As a percentage of total losses, Eli's multiple INT games constitute 66.6% and Peyton's 45.4%.

The most glaring difference obviously is that Peyton actually makes the postseason EVERY SINGLE YEAR, whereas Eli has missed the postseason 5 times in his 10 years as a starter. That is a huge fact you are ignoring.
