Top 10 Most Clutch NFL Quarterbacks of All Time

I could say comeback kid, but he's the oldest player in the NFL. He has led 49 game-winning drives, five of them occurring in the Super Bowl. He led a game-winning drive in a Super Bowl in his first year as a starter, and followed that up two years later with another one. He also threw four touchdowns and led a ten-point fourth-quarter comeback against one of the greatest defenses of all time, then led a 25-point comeback to win a Super Bowl two years after that.

He would go on to win two more Super Bowls after that comeback, and it could go on. He is 44 years old and led a game-winning drive against the Cowboys. He always has laser focus and never gives up. His touchdown throw against the Saints with five seconds left back in 2013 sums it all up.

Joe Montana is the GOAT and COAT!

Montana was the best when the lights shined brightest!

Joe Montana had one of the greatest statistical passing seasons in NFL history in 1989. Montana set a then-NFL record with a passer rating of 112.4, a completion percentage of 70.2%, and a 26/8 touchdown-to-interception ratio. In the playoffs, Montana was even more dominant, with a 78.3% completion percentage, 800 yards, 11 touchdowns, no interceptions, and a 146.4 rating. Cold Hard Football Facts calls Montana's 1989 season "the one by which we must measure all other passing seasons."

Joe Montana's Super Bowl stats: 83 completions, 122 pass attempts, 68% completion percentage, 1142 passing yards, 11 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing, no interceptions, and a 127.8 rating. UNMATCHED in NFL history.

Joe Montana did what he did playing real football, not the version they play today. Montana played in a league when the definition of a legal hit was very different from today's standards.

These guys are only good, not clutch. John is the only real clutch quarterback.

Very underrated. Did you see some of the comebacks he made in 2008?

He, Marvin Harrison, and Reggie Wayne dominated together.

Johnny U was my boyhood idol. In the ankle-deep mud, blinding snow, and whiteouts, the Colts' passing and running games are legendary. Scratch a Raven, and you'll find the Baltimore soul of a Colt inside. You affirmed my faith in sports history from the days of black-and-white, blue-and-white-collar football in nature's elements. Johnny Unitas, my hero, the late and fantastically great in those high-tops. RIP.

He's the Jerry West of football and is very underrated. He should be number one.

There are only three other QBs on this list who have three Super Bowls or more than Troy Aikman. He had a great running back, which took a lot of focus off the passing game. As a result, he could have had much better stats. He is a first-ballot Hall of Famer and deserves to be in the top ten.

Bernie Kosar on the list? What has he won in the NFL? Granted, he won some big games, but none bigger than conference championships or Super Bowls. What about Brett Favre? He was always clutch.

Eli Manning's Giants have often been underdogs in the postseason. They were projected to have a 4-7 record or perhaps 5-6 in Eli's 11 games. Instead, Eli Manning's Giants went 8-3, and two of those playoff victories were against arguably the greatest QB ever (in the postseason, in the Super Bowl).

Tom Brady even laughed at a prediction that the Giants would win and that the Patriots offense would ONLY score 17, and look what happened. Eli 17, Brady 14. Eli's play to David Tyree was the most important play in NFL history when three people were trying to sack Eli on 3rd down, and then he threw it to David Tyree for the helmet catch. That's what I call clutch, baby.

4th and 8, final chance in Week 17, delivers a deep touchdown to save the season. Hail Mary vs. Lions. Two straight Hail Marys vs. Cardinals in the divisional round in 2015. Throw to the sideline in the divisional round in 2017. Comeback after comeback. Most accurate and clutch quarterback of all time.

How many comeback wins did Aaron Rodgers have, not to mention the Hail Marys?

There have been many flawed quarterbacks who deliver when the game is on the line, and he was one of them. In the picture you see here, he was flawed in his final playoff game against the San Diego Chargers in the 1982 Super Bowl Tournament. But go back to Super Bowls 13 and 14. He was flawed, but with the game on the line, he delivered.

He connected with his targets John Stallworth and Lynn Swann for key touchdowns that earned him the Super Bowl MVP in both games and, in 1989, induction into the NFL Hall of Fame.

Its Joeysworld

The Snake deserves to be in the top 5 easily. Look up these plays: The Sea of Hands, The Ghost to the Post, and The Holy Roller, and tell me that's not clutch! Let's not forget Super Bowl XI.

Please, people. Look at the numbers and consider the era. By the way, Roger was pretty good too.

Russell is probably one of the greatest running quarterbacks of all time. Not only that, but he does it with the Seahawks, who have only won one Super Bowl.

People are too funny. This guy invented clutch. Ten straight championship games, people - seven wins. He moved to the NFL where he was bound to fail, and he still dominated.
