faba Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Poll: Most trust Tom Brady in clutch Updated: January 29, 2014, 9:40 AM ET By Mike Reiss | ESPNBoston.com 34 88 10 EMAIL PRINT FOXBOROUGH, Mass -- When New England Patriots receiver Julian Edelman is asked whyTom Brady is the clear-cut choice as the quarterback any team would want in the huddle with two minutes remaining and the Super Bowl on the line, he is quick with his answer. "Look at his résumé," Edelman said. Edelman and others around the NFL did just that in making Brady a runaway winner in ESPN.com's NFL Nation Confidential anonymous player survey. Brady received 128 of a possible 320 votes, outdistancing Peyton Manning, who tallied 86 votes. Brady has played in five Super Bowls, winning three by leading the Patriots from a fourth-quarter deficit or tie. In his 14-year career, he has engineered 41 game-winning drives from a fourth-quarter deficit or tie. "He is a very calm guy when the game is on the line," Patriots rookie receiver Kenbrell Thompkinssaid. "He just says, 'We live for these moments. Let's do it.'" Few have done it better than Brady, whose fiery leadership and cool-headed play in the clutch are a unique mix. Brady has 30 comeback drives when trailing in the fourth quarter, which ranks fifth in NFL history behind John Elway (43), Manning (40), Dan Marino (37) and Joe Montana (31). Teammates of Brady say they can't help but feel his confidence at crunch time. "He's been there before and done it," receiver Danny Amendola said. "You just kind of follow him as he takes the lead." "It just comes from his experience, 14 years, that control he has over pretty much anyone in the huddle. He just takes over," Pats tight end Michael Hoomanawanui added. "Obviously, the fact he's done it time and time before helps out a lot, too. That's pretty much the way he goes out and plays each and every snap. "But when it comes down to those two-minute situations, he takes it to another level. That's why he's the man." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crusher Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 The only challenge I see is you have to "reach" the Superbowl in order to be clutch in it. Plus I would say the most clutch Superbowl play I have seen in a very long time was Eli when he dispatched the Patriots perfect season. Personally I'm fine with Brady winning a meaningless poll. Good for him. I'm sure he is GRACIOUS in winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Peyton Manning: 40 career fourth quarter comebacks, 51 game-winning drives. Tom Brady: 31, 42. The end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JiFtheOracle Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I agree with this...I'd take Brady in the clutch any day over Manning. People are acting like Manning taking a 2nd team to the Super Bowl is the end all be all in this conversation. Is there any doubt that Brady wouldnt do the same with the Broncos? Theyr'e loaded. Brady is playing with High School talent on offense and the dude lost 1 less game and beat them head to head. I hate Brady as much as the next guy, but he's really ******* good.

I would ask if Brady would be the same QB playing for John Fox rather than Bellicheat. We know that Peyton could be coached by the fizz from a can of Coke and still win. Could Brady?

Peyton once went to the Super Bowl with this guy as his HC: I don't recall Caldwell ever talking into that headset, particularly when the Colts offense was on the field. He was the best statue in the league. With Peyton, it never really mattered who the coach was. He found ways to win himself. Could anyone really, honestly say that was the case with Tom Brady? Also how has he done post-Spygate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Manning also had= subpar defenses he had to play with to overcome. Bingo. Brady won his titles with guys like Ty Law, Richard Seymour, Willie McGinnest and Rodney Harrison on the other side of the ball. Who did Peyton have? Dwight Freeney and a whole lotta nothing. His defense this year has been nothing special either, with injuries all over the place. Still found themselves in the Super Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, there is zero doubt in my mind that if Brady was the Broncos QB that they'd win the Super Bowl. The fact Manning is involved, makes me have my doubts. Also, Manning never beat the Gators and that means something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
