You make some pretty good points for an academic argument. But the bottom line is that in that AFC championship game vs. the Patriots last year he threw 4, I repeat 4 interceptions.

If he continues to perform like that in big playoff games he will never get to, let alone win a Super Bowl and if that failure is directly attributable to him (and I think it is if he throws 4 intys), he can never be considered one of the all time greats.

My point wasn't that last year's AFC championship game shouldn't be considered. Of course it should, and he played badly. But none of the arguments against him has even mentioned the big games where he played well, which have occurred more often over the past couple years.

If you are evaluating a player's overall greatness, aren't you required to consider the games where he played well? That's what I was getting at in that part of my post.
