This is completely untestable and unverifiable. It's a convenient argument that cannot possibly be disproven and has no place in actual sports discussion. It's literally no different than saying evolution is false "because God".
If I say "my mother is sad" based on her body language, I guess you have to throw that out too.
We're talking sports here, not physics. Jesus Christ. As I've already stated, something that is unquantifiable can still be legitimate and accurate.

If your mother, the one in question, says she is sad then she is sad unless she is in some sort of psychotic state. You saying she is sad however means very little, as her tears could be those of joy or sorrow. Your thoughts prove nothing and cannot be verified without questioning her. It's why we ask people who look sad "are you ok?".
So unless you can somehow get both Peyton and Eli to personally acknowledge Eli is more emotional and clutch, your point has no merit. Even then, clutch is not an emotion that can be personally quantified and one can overestimate or underestimate their own clutchness, whatever that is.
It's just convoluted nonsense meant to dance around verifiable facts and only applicable in isolated scenarios between players with similar resumes and distinct situations with similar variables which turned out differently.
