He's not a bad playoff QB because he's going to lose this weekend, he's going to lose this weekend because he's a bad playoff QB. Great playoff QBs win the games that their teams aren't supposed to win, Payton hasn't done that yet, and he's lost a few games that he should have won (what was that 44-0 a few years back vs the Jet'?)

Mike Vick's done that once, and that's the only reason he was on my list, Strangler. I too think he's totally overrated (Not below average, but just overrated.)

Randall Cunningham Career Rushing yards

17 Seasons 4928 Rushing Yards

Steve Young

15 Years 4239 (more than 5000 total yards, more than Randall in as many sesons if you count his USFL days)

Roger Staubach

10 years (8 w/ 14 game seasons) 2246

Elway

15 3407

Tarkenton

17 3674

All of those guys won superbowls except for Fran who made it to the big dance and lost. None fo them ran for as much as Randall but they all put up comparable rushing numbers.

Careful with those sweeping definitive generalizations.
