Um....Ben's a future HOF with a big game reputation. His individual, none-statistical efforts alone contribute a lot to who they are as a team. Also, when key offensive players are out or just not playing well, often he's the difference maker.
On the other hand, our QB has never performed well in the post season, therefore, his post season reputation supersedes all things he accomplished in (2015) one great regular season. Until he proves differently, the assumption in the media will remain as such, "he's not likely to perform well when the lights shine brightest!"
