Check this out. (this is through the first week of Sept/'09)
GAMES WON AFTER TRAILING GOING INTO Q4
McNabb: 11 out of 43 (25.6%)
Manning: 10 out of 33 (30.3%)
COMEBACK VICTORIES (trailing by 8 points or more going into Q4)
McNabb: 2 out of 22 (9.1%)
Manning: 4 out of 17 (23.5%)

Can't really compare McNabb and Manning. McNabb has won playoffs games with mediocre receivers/TE whereas Manning has had Plax, Toomer, Shockey, etc. Put Manning on a team with a so-so oline and receivers and he would be an average(maybe even below average) QB. He wouldn't be that so called clutch QB. Manning is an average QB who is on a great team. You could Alex Smith on the Giants and he would look like an Hall of Famer.
How does Manning and McNabb stats look with Plax being gone??
