...Hostettler, Flacco, Eli. They did not "lead" the team to it, they just came through and were otherwise good qbs. Who is to say Green was incapable of coming through in that way?..
They won a playoff game.
As did Tarkenton, Kelly, and the others you listed.
When Trent Green wins a playoff game, get back to me
I tried to stress that the qb alone does not win games, playoff or otherwise. Good or great qb play help but they are not the whole story.
So I don't judge a qb that way. We all admit that Green was a good qb. You said so too. Yet sometimes people think saying that about him detracts from Warner. And I personally don't think one thing has anything to do with the other.
And then you believe that the value of a qb depends on playoff wins. I don't buy that. We have all seen good qbs in the right situation on good teams they helped win, and we've seen weaker teams hold elite qbs back.
So I actually don't see the point in trying to find a way to downplay Green in Warner's defense, when in fact praising Green for what he was takes nothing away from Warner in the first place.I also think that Warner's character is such (another one of his strong attributes) that if he were here, he would agree with me.
