![]() ![]() That’s due to the fractured finger he sustained on his throwing hand when it came into contact with Aaron Donald’s hand during a Week 5 loss to the Rams. On the other, Wilson will be 34 years old when the regular season kicks off, and he’s coming off one of his worst seasons. On one hand, he’s been a top-10 quarterback for his entire 10-year career with the Seattle Seahawks and more like top-3 when it comes to his deep ball. In fact, throughout the 2015 season keep in mind that every time you watch him throw the ball, you truly are witnessing history.Adding Russell Wilson to their roster this offseason presents a mixed bag for George Paton and the Denver Broncos. The time to appreciate his greatness is now he won’t be around forever. No quarterback has ever statistically dominated the position like reigning AP MVP Rodgers has over the course of his ever-unfolding career. To be honest, I was just as shocked as you and again, this isn’t an opinion, but fact. So…are you now convinced that Rodgers is the greatest statistical quarterback of all-time? If not, all I can say is that you must be ignoring the simple numbers that I have presented to you. Thus, those three signal callers don’t apply to a legitimate statistical discussion. “What about Terry Bradshaw, Troy Aikman, and Eli Manning‘s postseason play?” Well, Bradshaw and Aikman amassed more interceptions than games started in the playoffs and Manning, outside of his two Super Bowl runs, has consistently posted underwhelming statistics in the postseason. Again, I didn’t create these numbers, I’m merely presenting them to you.Īs you can see above, Rodgers averages the most touchdown passes per playoff start, the second-most passing yards, the second-least interceptions, has the highest completion percentage, and has the second-best rating all-time. ![]() Not many people would have guessed that he would have, arguably, the best quarterback statistics in playoff history, but he truly does. He often catches flack for his play in recent years in the postseason, but the facts state that he is playing the best football, statistically, as anyone has in NFL history in the playoffs at the quarterback position - insane right? Chris Humphreys-USA TODAY SportsĪs you can see from the numbers, Rodgers is, arguably, the greatest statistical quarterback in NFL playoff history. Peyton Manning’s average NFL Playoff season (per 16 starts): 25.33 touchdown passes, 16 interceptions, 4,533.33 passing yards, 88.5 rating, 64.0 completion percentage, 7.3 yards per attempt, 20.66 sacks taken, 2 rushing touchdowns, 16 rushing yards. ![]() Russell Wilson ‘s average NFL Playoff season (per 16 starts): 24 touchdown passes, 12 interceptions, 3,640 passing yards, 97.8 rating, 60.9 completion percentage, 9.0 yards per attempt, 48 sacks taken, 4 rushing touchdowns, 510 rushing yards.īart Starr ‘s average NFL Playoff season (per 16 starts): 24 touchdown passes, 4.8 interceptions, 2,804.8 passing yards, 104.8 rating, 61.0 completion percentage, 8.2 yards per attempt, N/A sacks taken, 1.6 rushing touchdowns, 41.6 rushing yards.īrett Favre’s average NFL Playoff season (per 16 starts): 29.33 touchdown passes, 20 interceptions, 3,903.33 passing yards, 86.3 rating, 60.8 completion percentage, 7.4 yards per attempt, 23.33 sacks taken, 0.66 rushing touchdowns, 48 rushing yards. Tom Brady’s average NFL Playoff season (per 16 starts): 29.24 passing touchdowns, 14.34 interceptions, 4,052.41 passing yards, 89.09 rating, 62.9 completion percentage, 6.8 yards per attempt, 25.37 sacks taken, 2.75 rushing touchdowns, 55.17 rushing yards. Joe Montana’s average NFL Playoff season (per 16 starts): 31.30 passing touchdowns, 14.60 interceptions, 4,015.30 passing yards, 95.6 rating, 62.7 completion percentage, 7.8 yards per attempt, 32 sacks taken, 1.39 rushing touchdowns, 218.43 rushing yards. Again, this gives a per-season perspective of how great each quarterback has been in the postseason throughout their careers.Ĭompare the statistics from the below quarterbacks and come to your own conclusion as to which player has been statistically the best all-time.Īaron Rodgers’ average NFL Playoff season (per 16 starts): 33.45 passing touchdowns, 10.18 interceptions, 4,338.90 passing yards, 101.0 rating, 64.5 completion percentage, 7.7 yards per attempt, 40.72 sacks taken, 4.36 rushing touchdowns, 279.27 rushing yards. I then multiplied those stats by 16 to give perspective as to how well each played in the playoffs (on a 16-game average). I took the below quarterback’s all-time playoff statistics and divided them by their total number of playoff starts. Rodgers is worse in the playoffs though, right? Well… Aaron Rodgers’ Career Playoff Stats Versus Other Great QBs ![]()
