Matt Ryan is a Super Bowl Legend for how hard he chocked
The biggest part of Matt Ryans legacy was that he directly assisted the patriots in the greatest comeback of all time. Legend.
Did it against the Vikings this year lmao
@@razelsaldana1575 You all know that Matt Ryan can’t play D?
@@johancarcamo7560 he did play offense and generated no point nor chewed enough clock. dont let him off the hook
@Gabriel Kelly he doesn't call the plays it was Kyle Shanahan who lost us that game
@@theunovanative7640 And he led the 49ers to blow out loss to the Eagles.
Kind of hard for Gannon when his former coach knew every single play you were going to run.
In practice Gruden would play Gannon and imitate his cadence. Rich didn't even change that up. Some of the interceptions the Bucs were surprised "That went exactly like we practiced!"
Matt Ryan should still be in the hall of fame and that throw to Julio on the sideline should have ended it. One of the best throws, one of the best catches of all time.
Joe Namath’s guarantee in the Jets 16-7 upset win over the Colts as 19.5-point underdogs in Super Bowl III is a classic professional sports moment that will always be remembered forever!
And he also guaranteed that the Super Bowl will never be the same again and it became the worldwide phenomenon ever since
Well there are tons of rumors that it was rigged and the colts were payed to lose to make the AFL look like big threats
Namath didn't win that game. The D did. Namath's numbers were abysmal 17 completions out of 28 attempts. 206 yards with the longest pass being 39 yards and a QB rating of 83.3
@@ClassicStreetIron Can't just let the comment have it, huh? You had to come out and say it, huh?
@@ClassicStreetIron so a great passing game for the 60s?
I don’t blame Matt Ryan for that choke. I blame Kyle Shanahan for that choke. Freaking terrible play calling.
I blame the defense more than Shanahan. Last season (2021) the Bucs went up 35-3 on the Bears in a game, only scored 3 pts the entire 2nd half, and still won 38-3 because the D shut down Chicago's offense. Atlanta was up 3-21 at the half and scored a TD in the 3rd qtr to make it 3-28. The defense needed to do its job.
@@sabishiihito I can agree with that, but running the ball and taking time off the clock would give the defense more time to get their breath when the offense is on the field. Atlanta abandoned the run game in that Super Bowl.
@@sabishiihito Shanahan knew what was wrong with that defense. Ergo, you make in-game changes as needed. What sank Buffalo _this season_ was that very inability. The Bengals came in with plans on O & D & possibly with ones to flip to if/after Buffalo adjusted.
They never did. Same with Shanahan. He has this _bad tendency_ in the clutch to mentally withdraw into his version of the fetal position & try One All-Encompassing System of Protection when there is No Such Thing. If football was that easy, Matt Canada couldn't suck at it that badly. Shanahan can _get_ you there.
But he crumples away in the clutch *consistently.* We should be able to see that by now. (It may be why Aaron Rodgers refused to be traded to San-Fran, but I truly do not know that).
You forgot the ONE play Foles made that day. He's the only QB to get a receiving TD in SuperBowl history.
Legend: James White from SB51. Yeah Matty Ice choked and Brady got MVP, but White scored 20 of the Pats 34 points... 3 tuddies (including the game winner) and a 2 point conversion.
Choker: Jim Kelly... 4 SB appearances, 6 AFCCG appearances... zero rings.
I was surprised Kelly wasn't on here, too.
Edelman should also be a legend for his efforts in winning three super bowls for the Patriots. He scored the final touchdown of Super Bowl 49 giving New England back the lead before the Malcolm Butler Interception, he had the crazy circuit catch in Super Bowl 51 on the Pats’ game tying drive, and won the Super Bowl 53 MVP.
choker: Cam Newton and Donovan Mcnabb
Brady is also haunted by his 3 SB L's, but he can take consolation in his 7 SB W's!
BDN will always be a legend in Philly
Oh hell yeah!!
Always
I would have to say Jim Kelly of the Buffalo Bills was a choker. 4x and no trophy. Bruce Smith also never showed up for those big games on the defensive side.
Y’all need to hang a huge ass asterisk on the Gannon listing, since Gruden pretty much knew everything Oakland was gonna do going into that SB
Love your video, man, and can't wait for this super bowl
Staffords final 2 minute drive against the Bengals to get his first and probably only superbowl ring
Unless he leaves the Rams we won’t win again. The Rams are probably entering a rebuild.
That whole postseason:
Wild Card Round: got the "no playoff win" monkey off his back.
Divisional: Beat Tom Brady.
NFC Championship: Beat the team that eliminated Aaron Rodgers.
Super Bowl: Beat the team that eliminated Patrick Mahomes. And doing so with a final drive that evoked every armchair quarterback from the Lions days (Cooper Kupp got Super Bowl MVP for his perfect Calvin Johnson impersonation) .
The refs helped with that.
You should’ve included Tracy Porter for the legends and Cam Newton and Jim Kelly for chokers.
David Tyree should of also gotten a mention as a legend.
As a falcons fan this still hurts
Yep, me too, it will forever! 😡😡
That's because all of the Aints fans (not the PATRIOTS fans) keep beating that dead horse.
Same
I gotta say cam newton for choker
The panthers went 15-1 that regular season and then lost to the broncos
If cam won it would have cemented that panthers team legacy but no
Now that season is just “that one time Carolina was good for no reason”
Foles the 🐐
9:58 “First ever Super Bowl”? 🤔
He Forgot To Add Win At The End.
Patriots That Became Legends After Winning a Super Bowl:
3. Julian Edelman
2. Malcolm Butler
1. Tom Brady
How the hell is Tom Brady NOT on this list? It's a no brainer that he's the greatest ever!!! He is a living legend! He may have made others legends, but that took a TRUE legend to do so! Well he's the biggest NFL legend so far in my book and I'm a Lions fan!
haha honestly. two of these are extra legendary just because of how legendary tom brady is
Lol calm down. Brady’s career isn’t defined by one one or two moments like all of these are.
In the _super-bowl?_ Ummm...
ua-cam.com/video/DJh9lQ8x7qQ/v-deo.html No. & even then, did _he catch_ that interception, make that game-winning field goal, hold the Greatest Show On Turf to under 10 points? Plus he's almost always had a top-10 defense.
In 5 of nine playoff games, Aaron Rodgers' defenses gave up 37+ points. In 324 _career _*_STARTS,_* Brady's teams only ever gave up that many points *eight times!*
There's more, but the videos made by the guy who made the one I linked will say it all. He's the _only_ top-tier QB of his era to play on a team with consistently good defense. The Colts with Manning & the Packers with Rodgers had one good year each with the Packers in particular being at or near the bottom consistently. Brees on the Saints?
Don't make me laugh. Same for Matt Ryan. Never had a _decent_ defense, Brady is like the '85 Bears only because he's the Golden Boy, Brady gets all the attention _they_ deserved. If you score 13 points in a game & win, that's the defense, not you.
I think there were more than one playoff game where Brady wasn't involved in any of the scoring & they won. He still got the credit for being there, even though so was the water-boy. If anything, Brady has failed far more in the playoffs than succeeded, & besides, this video was about people who made their rep _in the clutch,_ so like, weren't good anytime else (or bad in Fran Tarkenton's case. Sad, he's one of my all-time favorite players).
@@choosecarefully408people kill me with this bs argument. Tom Brady is the LEADER of the team watch what he does and says on the sidelines in those games. He makes every teammate want to run through a brick wall for him! That's why he has been to 10 Super Bowls and won 7 He is the ultimate leader and team player. And in football the best team usually wins
@@choosecarefully408and to say Brady has failed more often than not in the playoffs is the dumbest thing I have ever heard his record is 35-13 in the playoffs 🤣🤣🤣
Do a video on The Top 5 best Head Coaching hires and the Top 5 worst head coaching hires from the past decade
Matt Ryan is a big chocker
Why is Jim Kelly not up there with chokers?
Let's be fair to Gannon, they've tried to keep it air tight but there has been alot of noise about Bill Callahan setting the team up for failure for that game. As someone who watched it personally it was similar to playing local co-op in Madden back in the day...all the plays are on the same screen so you kinda know what the other player is running.....only problem is Gruden was the only one who could see it.
Chokers honorable mentions:
Scott Norwood
Neil O'Donnell
John Casey
Donovan McNabb
Surprised no one mentioned Jim Kelly.
Devin Hester kickoff return to start game legend for sure.
If you wanted to show one play from the Eagle's 2018 Super Bowl win to illustrate what an absolute stud Nick Foles was (and will always be), you should have shown the Philly Special.
Yes they are Legends in their own minds......
Cam Newton😭😭💙🤍
The Eagles and Patriots Super Bowl is my favorite.
Von Miller😭💔
He had a HOF career outside of that.
@@gbrow1604 Von Miller is still most well known for Super Bowl 50, that’s when most people learned the name Von Miller, that’s when he became a legend
@@lethalinjection2031 I think this list is more about players who wouldn't be that well known without their SB performances. Von Miller was already 5 years into a HOF career and would have been a legend either way.
Didn't realize Matt Ryan plays on defense as well.
He choked, no doubt about it, but it's more so on the coaching than on him
@@detroitmcpro how did he choke esp wen they had the running game going and stopped using also he didn’t play defense
2016 Falcons help make this list
Manning outside of the two runs either lost in the first round or missed the playoffs his defense was great tho in the 8 games held teams to 13 ppg and not one team scored more than 21 points
Most people get to enjoy the New Baconator Sandwich without ever having to slaughter a single pig, & get to enjoy bragging about "their guy" winning without earning it either.
Then again, it's the same way Americans justify torturing people at Guantanamo Bay. So where do _you_ draw the line?
The defense was great when it needed to be in the second superbowl run but Eli's arm is 90% responsible for them winning the 2011 superbowl
Julian Edelman-legend
Was Matt Ryan calling the plays in Super Bowl 51 or was someone else doing that? Obviously it was Ryan's fault to take the sack but maybe if someone else had called another play, Freeman or Coleman would have had the ball instead.
Bill Belichick was calling the plays for BOTH teams.
Coleman got hurt in that game plus Falcons failed too many times in the playoffs before the super bowl lost that way it hurts so much.
People forget that the sack didn't immediately end the drive, they got back into FG range on a pass from Ryan to Mohamed Sanu that got called back on a dubious holding call on Jake Matthews.
The plays had already been called 📝
Ryan shouldn't have been in position to take that sack though. Like, they should have ran it, and he actually took a sack to keep the clock running instead of throwing it away but he shouldn't even have been passing
All the Falcons had to do was take a knee 3 times and kick an easy FG to win that game, yet they kept trying to pass for some reason.
Ask Kyle Shanahan idk what was going through his mind
Superbowl 51: My absolutely favourite Superbowl in my life. Biggest Comeback.
Thank you choke falcons 😆😁
TOP 10 PLAYERS ON THE DECLINE 👍
Joe Namath is in the Hall of Fame BECAUSE of Super Bowl III.
Legend: Troy Aikman
If Nick foles is a legend you guys have to put Joe Flacco as a legend to Superbowl MVP countless playoff wins he deserves to be a legend in this list.
The biggest choke of all? The Buffalo Bills kicker 1991 Super Bowl. If he makes that FG the Bills win the SB and even if they lost the next three, they still would have been considered one of the greatest teams of all time.
Matt Ryan then went on to cement his legacy by blowing a 33-0 half time lead to the Vikings.
How did he blow the lead doesn’t the defense have to get stopped I’d say the defense and the coach lost it Matt n offense gave Defense 33 points to protect and they failed and on top of that the falcons stopped running the ball and became very conservative
@@sportsfantastic361 Most of the Colt's points did not come from the offense. They came from good plays by the defense and special teams, the Colts kicked a bunch of field goals when starting from good field position. The offense only one touchdown one day. While the Colt's defense needed to do better in the second half, if the offense scores more than three points or eats up a meaningful amount of clock they win regardless. That choke was as much on the offense as it was the defense.
I feel split on the Gannon one while he threw some horrondous passes the fact the Raiders staff didn't change the play calling, play names or force Gannon to change his cadence should keep him off the list since it's hard to be effective when your team practcically handed your opponent the playbook.
Go bills😭
I’ve never heard anyone say Wes Welker was a choker 😂
Jeff Hosteler coming up big for the Giants when Sims was out.
Tarkenton failed to show up in big time moments? Tell me how that differs from the Vikings QB today.
If Lamar Jackson would stop choking in the playoff games, his name might get added to that list.
For these chokers, these plays WOULD’VE cost them the Hall of Fame
WDIM? You choke at the Super Bowl, you don’t belong in the HOF, PLAIN AND F’N SIMPLE!
The 85 Bears, never before or since
Yeah Rich Gannon threw five picks in the super bowl and I'm not a raiders fan at all so I'm not trying to defend him or the team but you got to put that on the coach because he knew that Chucky over on the other side knew all of their plays and all of their signal calls and he didn't bother to change a damn thing going into that super bowl so that's on the coach
Choker: Russell Wilson!
He's won the SB
If he hadn’t won the Super Bowl the year before, he definitely would’ve been here.
Hmmmm dumb question , bad coaching explains Gannon and Ryan.
When your former coach joins the other team, maybe you should change up your plays and calls ? - Gannon
When your teams gets down to the 20 yard line. I or Pro Formation (running play) against a blitzing defense. Instead they go ' Shot Gun" and lose 40 yards - Ryan
FORGOT...
Jim Plunkett - Off the bench twice to win 2 Super Bowls (Raiders)
Where is Jim Kelly "Bills" 4x Super Bowl loss in a row ?
Coach Carroll awful pass play on the 1 yard line when you have a guy named Beast Mode ?
Welker was a beast
Matty ice? MORE LIKE MATTY CHOKED ON ICE
nick foles daughter is so adorable tho
How the heck was Tom Brady not mentioned!! Hello, no one was expecting to beat the Rams! He became a f***ing legend after winning Super Bowl 36.
This is mostly about players who wouldn’t really be remembered with their SB performance.
Okay ill be honest. Cause obviously i was at that falcons patriots superbowl. We had that game scripted. Was so honored when my # got called to win the game in overtime. Poor matty ice thought he had a chance.
Jim Kelly .......................................................
I'm also a legend
Nobody blames Gannon cmon, his coach screwed him
BTW TPS... you can say Redskins
Malcolm Smith? Russell Wilson?
Cam newton for biggest chokers, lead his team to a 15-1 record and won MVP and dominated in the playoffs just to lose to the denver broncos, I mean they had a top 1 defense but their offense sucked no excuses here
“Bruh Matt Ryan choked”
-People who think QBs play defense
Go birds!💚🦅
Foles was good for the 4 game run but wasn’t good soon after and same with Doug was kicked from the eagles or left seems like they were one hit wonders
Foles was good the next year and was a dropped pass away from going back to the NFC title game. Doug was good whenever Carson wasn't playing.
Go bills
Jim Kelly started four consecutive Super Bowls at quarterback for the Buffalo Bills in the early 90s and lost all four, and he's not on the chokers list? Once again TPS shows they don't know football.
I'm starting to dislike this Channel if your lives depended on it you could not say anything positive about Matt Ryan
You never miss the chance to bash him
Thanks for being jerks as always
If his defense wasn't worn out, not to mention he made some costly boneheadded moves
#1 Legend of all is Tom Brady! Eli, Foles, and Ryan would not even be mentioned if not for their games being against the Patriots! If it came down to Brady winning, or beating Brady, the common denominator remains Brady!!!
you forgot Troy Aikman as an all-time Superbowl legend.
Could not agree more. I hate Dallas, but Aikman was a beast and only got better as the season went on.
Matt Ryan should have done an audible and runned the ball. That alone would have saved them.
Chokers Dan Marino fran tarkenton 4 times Jim Kelly 4 times
Redskins!!!
Go chiefs!
What’s with the fake radio voice?
Why do we do this with Eli Manning he was an average quarterback that had a couple good runs in the in the playoffs on way to a Superbowl. He played big a couple of times that does not make you clutch a broke clock is right twice a day. I don't see anybody propping up Julian Edelman for only being good during the playoffs. It's a myth that he was clutch if he did not play quarterback literally no one would give a flying s***. And people need to stop acting like they didn't have a historically great defensive line on both of those teams and a flat-out dominant run game. Yeah they're not in position to do anything if not for the defensive line harassing Brady. Eli has absolutely no business being considered for the Hall of Fame
So one bad play by a player in a Super Bowl makes him a choker? The accusations against Wes Welker and, especially, Jackie Smith, are bullsh*t. Smith is one of only 8 TEs in the Hall of Fame, and had an impeccable career. Yes, he will always be remembered for that play, but it hardly stands as a capsule description of his contributions to the teams he played for. Welker was a 4-time All-Pro, a 5-time Pro Bowler, a 3-time NFL receptions leader, and tied the record for most receptions in a Super Bowl. The incompletion he's cited for here was as much on Brady for throwing a terrible pass to a wide-open receiver. Was the ball catchable? Perhaps, but by any measure it would've been a tough catch. I'd love to see the keyboard warrior who put this film together do better, if he could put down his burrito and diet Sprite long enough to turn off his computer and lift himself out of his desk chair.
First of all, if Pete Carroll doesn't make a HUGE blunder by calling a terrible play, the second bad play call in a big game in his career, people would be asking... Malcolm who?
Secondly, I think it's wrong to put Matt Ryan on this list as a choker. However, I think that there are 11 Falcons players from the same game that more than deserve a place on the list... All 11 defensive players. The Falcons had a 25 point lead in the 3rd quarter of that SB when the defense gave up 31 points to lose the game. How do they not make the list yet Ryan does? 🤔
Can we please leave Matt Ryan alone
You forgot Tom Brady.
If Tom Brady is a legend you better have your eyes examine because he never won a super bowl if you think he won any you better have your eyes examine
When I think of Eli Manning I actually think choke tbh
He didn’t choke when it mattered most.
When I think of two SB MVPs the word choke doesn’t come to mind
Labeling Malcolm Butler as a legend is wrong. I think the NFL wanted the Patriots to win that game, so they said, you win this we will find a way to punish you. The second thing is that the league was not happy with Marshawn lynch, so they may also or have said something like this. If Marshawn Lynch is the hero, we will find a way to punish you.
First
Eli manning legend?? C'mon bro
Butler's interception was pass interference
I don’t think I’ve ever heard that angle. Butler made some shoulder contact? He didn’t grab, played the ball; I’d love to talk trash about that Pats win. I really would. I don’t think that was PI tho.
@@jluchette Don't worry, it wasn't. The defender is allowed to play the ball too. If he goes for the ball, anything he hits to get it is not PI. Had he shoved away a receiver who was _NOT_ in his way for leverage or to prevent *them* from playing the ball, that would have been PI. But nothing in the rules says he has to go _around_ someone in his direct line to the ball.
Love the vids plz pin me
Jesus Christ I hate tom Brady but he just lost he didn’t “choke”! You can’t say A guy who’s won 7 Super Bowls chokes just because he lost a game
Hot take Joe Namath was overrated Ken nderson was much better and should be in the hall of fame that's just me thought.
Matt ryan didnt choke his defence did
Tom Brady the G O A T 🐐
If Brady plays 20 years earlier he lasts 3 seasons. Maybe I am exaggerating, but Brady was only a product of the times that helped protect him. Amazing talent, no doubt. Definitely the best of the last 25 years. But, put him in the 80's, non-fantasy football era and he isn't even close. So the GOAT? No. But GOHE (Greatest of His Era) for sure.
Where’s Tom Fing Brady at
