Clutchness is as important as any other factor in my opinion.
This poll was about which QB would you want in the Superbowl, which is the most Clutch situation in football. I'd take Brady, Montana, or Young over anyone. And Brady may actually be my first pick.

And I'm sure Brady beating Manning in those clutch situations had nothing to do with Manning having to face the Patriots defense while Brady got to face the Colts defense. The fact is Brady is a Vinatieri 48 yard field goal and a Vinatieri 46 yard field goal from being 1 for 4 in the Super Bowl and don't tell me that Brady somehow caused Vinatieri to make his field goals while Jim Kelly caused Norwood to miss him. He is also 1 for 4 against the spread in Super Bowls which means his team has underperformed against expectations. And the one that he actually covered the spread was completely due to the New England defense shutting down what was thought to be an unstoppable Ram offense. Brady threw for 145 yards in that game.
Vinatieri was clutch, there is nothing remarkable about Brady in clutch situations, that is largely a myth cause he's a popular celebrity, similar to people regarding Jeter as a great clutch hitter when he's just solid in the clutch.
