Major drawback in the complete category ranlings seeing as how that is the most important part of the game. Winning under pressure.

WHAT? He was a 62% career post season passer, he was 9-5 (.643%) in games he played a significant part of, scored 28td's rushing and passing, and in the biggest game of his career (super bowl in 94) he threw for 325 yards and 6 (yes that's right 6) td's and no int's. (plus he ran for 49 yards)
He averaged 239 passing yards per postseason game which he played a significant part, ran for 41.07 yards per game (that's a total of 280 total yards), and had 28 total td's to only 13 int's over 14 games. That's an average of 2 td's per game, and just a hair under 1 int per game. Those are solid numbers.
Elway (for instance) played in 22 games, completion percentage of only 54.6 (that's 7.4 less than Young), averaged 226 passing yards (13 fewer than Young), 33 total tds, an average of only 1.5 to young's 2, and 21 int's (that's just a hair under 1 per game). He also averaged 21 rushing yards per game. So he averaged 247 total yards per game...that's 33 fewer yards than Young. Young was better in every catagory. Elway was 14-8 (.636%) in his postseason career. (That's .007 less than Young)
By the way, until the last 2 years of Elway's career, he was 7-8 in the postseason.
Young was one of the smartest players to ever live. And that monkey on his back was something the media placed on him and it was a show to take it off. I have to say, if I was the winning QB and MVP of a super bowl, I am going to be giddy like a little school girl.
