Peyton Manning Not Clutch... Come Again?

I had an interesting conversation this past weekend. It went something like this:

Me: I love Peyton Manning.
Person: I don't.
Me: (with a shocked look) What? How could you not like Manning?
Person: He's ugly. Have you seen that Gatorade commercial? He's just not marketable.
Me: OMG, I LOVE THAT COMMERCIAL (The one where he's bursting out of a football and drinks Gatorade Rain).
Person: He's just not clutch.
Me: (Speechless and in utter shock). What? NOT CLUTCH? (Still grasping for words). How can you say that?

Thinking in my head: I'll give you that he's not the cutest guy. I'll even give you not marketable, although I completely disagree because I love the Sprint commercial he's in, and I'll even be okay with not liking Manning because he's ugly. Reason being, I originally became a fan of the Eagles when they changed their uniforms to the darker green.

Me: Okay, not clutch? Did you miss the last two games when he was nothing but clutch?
Person: But he hasn't won the superbowl. Just not clutch.
Me: Seriously? Are we debating on Peyton Manning's ability as a QB? (Thinking to self: With 2 seconds left on the clock, my team down, and we have to go 100 yards, I want P. Manning on my team. I wouldn't sweat it b/c I know he would get the ball where it needs to be to win the game. Side: That was a drastic exaggeration in my head, but you get the point).

The conversation ends with me still baffled and speechless. How can you say he's not clutch?

Using another illustration to show how flabbergasted I am that someone could say Manning's not clutch and just b/c he hasn't won a superbowl, he's no good: It's sorta like basketball. I'm not a fan of the Mailman, but he's good. I wouldn't mind having him on my team. He's not pretty at all, and I would say, not marketable, but he along with Stockton, who I think is good have not won an NBA championship. Does that mean they're not clutch? Maybe. I don't remember, but that doesn't make them crap. What about all those young guns who I would say don't contribute all to much and only won an NBA ring b/c they rode the coat tails of let's say Shack and Kobe? I'm thinking of Devean George.

I'm still in utter shock.
