4 QBs left have unique talents — but they also have flaws

There are some overlooked truths about the four superb quarterbacks left chasing a Super Bowl title: Tom Brady’s career AFC Championship Game stats hardly should scare an opposing defense, nor should his deep-throw efficiency in the playoffs. “Watching these quarterbacks play has been extraordinary,” said Hall of Fame defensive back Ronnie Lott, a teammate of Joe Montana’s on four Super Bowl champions with the 49ers. They share attributes, such as reading a defense, arm strength, leadership skills and more. In 10 conference-title games, owns 76.3 passer rating with 12 TDs, 12 picks. On postseason deep throws (more than 20 yards in the air) since 2007: 50.6 rating; 26 completion percentage, 4 TDs, 6 picks. Only 17-36 with a game-winning drive or comeback opportunity, a .321 winning percentage that’s by far the worst of this bunch, according to Scott Kacsmar of Football Outsiders. Trailing by one possession in the fourth quarter, career passer rating is 81.9, with 16 TDs, 14 picks. Atlanta All-Pro receiver Julio Jones says a sprained toe won’t keep him from playing in Sunday’s NFC Championship Game against Green Bay.
