Brady P. Manning Brees Farve Elway Montana
Brady P. Manning Brees Farve Elway Montana
All are correct except Elway. But, Elway was next up at #11 with 27 post season TDs.
5 more names.

Aaron Rodgers
Troy Aikman
Aaron Rodgers
Troy Aikman
Rodgers, Check. Not Aikman. He is down the list a bit.
Only 2 more names.

Graham, maybe Starr.
No, neither. Otto had 14 post season TDs. (Remember, they only played one single postseason game then. QBs since then have had to play in 3 , maybe 4 postseason games each year. Starr played half of his career under the same situation...and the Packers were really a grind it out running attack.
So: hint: think of some of the most prolific passing offenses in history.

Marino, Check. Favre already named. Not Moon/Kelly...they are down the list, but not far.
If Moon didn't play in Canada or those years, he'd be on the list. Threw the nicest ball I've ever seen.

Yes. Maybe

Yes. Maybe
Moon had a 3-7 lifetime playoff record with 17 touchdowns and 14 interceptions in the NFL.
That's pretty pedestrian.

For some reason I'm going to throw out Kurt Warner, but I just don't remember him playing in that many playoff games to get 30 touchdown passes...

Remember the old thinking good defenses win super bowls well here's the first 20 games, it used to be true way back when. Then along came the Steelers, 49ers era and the West Coast offences !
Betting went from bet the under to take the niners and the over -and- the overs went from the thirties to the fifties in no time including the extinct St. Louis Cardinals and the greatest show on turf with former Arena League star Kurt Warner.....my golden era of professional football.

Even though I guessed him, I'm still kind of surprised he played enough playoff games to make the list. Either he played in more than I thought, or he was prolific as hell in the ones he did play in.
Edit: So I looked up his playoff record, and man is it impressive. He went 9-4 in 13 playoff games, throwing for 3952 yards (304 per game) and 31 touchdowns vs 14 interceptions, with a 102.8 QB rating.
