Sizing up the quarterbacks
Cold, Hard Football Facts for January 9, 2006

We're taking an early look at the postseason success of all eight quarterbacks still alive in the playoffs.
 
While Tom Brady's 10-0 postseason record and clutch leadership have been well-documented, he actually stands second statistically among the eight remaining quarterbacks. Carolina's Jake Delhomme enters his team's divisional round playoff game at Seattle with an impressive 105.1 passer rating in his five playoff games. And, with a 4-1 postseason mark, he's second only to Brady in terms of postseason winning percentage.
 
Delhomme is also the only other quarterback remaining with Super Bowl experience. Here's how each quarterback stacks up in the playoffs, sorted by postseason passer rating.
