Plan and simple, the biggest reason Phillip Rivers doesn’t get mentioned among the great quarterbacks of this century is almost exclusively because of his shortcomings in the postseason. Despite having more wins as a starter, more touchdown passes, and more passing yards than fellow 2004 NFL Draft selection Eli Manning, people always rank Manning ahead of Rivers solely on the basis of Manning’s two Super Bowl wins.

In contrast, Rivers has a 4-5 record in postseason games, throwing nine interceptions in the nine games he’s played. Despite the fact that he even played in one game with a torn ACL, he’s always viewed as someone who can’t win the big game for his team.
