Re: Who is Clutch?

I would replace Clay Mathews with Charles Woodson. Mathews has made some big plays at end of games, but Woodson has made more over the last two years(same sample size for both players.)

Making plays=clutch. Interesting

Re: Who is Clutch?

First guy that comes to my mind is Roethlisberger. Not a fan, but he is clutch.

I struggled with those names. The list ofr clutch players shouldnt be longer than 25 players....It was hard for me to get 10 sure fire players so i figure that a list of 25 will consist of a few tweeners

Clutch = Good

Re: Who is Clutch?

To those that have listed defensive players, how are you making that judgement?

Not an attack, I'm just curious.

Clutch = Good

Haha, kind of agree with you on this one, but lets not start that debate in other thread.

Clutch = Good

To add onto this, I think it's kind of silly that EA made a clutch rating but didn't make a choke rating. I really hope they add this in or some variation of it in M13.

Can't have good without bad and you can't have yin without yang people.

I like the idea but I couldn't imagine EA would put that in the game.

Re: Who is Clutch?

Clutch is a weird term in sports because it can fluctuate so easily. I am a Patriots and Brady fan but look at his last few postseason games. Not too clutch. Roethlisberger didn't look too clutch in the Super Bowl. Brees against the seahawks is another example. Then look at the other way sanchez and hasselbeck looked clutch in the early rounds than not so much in later ones. Another nonfootball example would be lebron. He was the definition of clutch vs the celtics sand bulls and now he's unclutch.

So what I am trying to say clutch shouldn't be automatic or stay with the same people the whole season. It should fluctuate.

There is only one place in this thread where "making plays" is used and you seem to take that phrase from its original context and change it. And I really don't get the point you are trying to make. Please elaborate.

He is probly saying that clutch doesn't really exhist. Good players make plays. For every "clutch" game we remember, there is a game where he isn't clutch. So the clutch rating makes someone clutch every time? Kinda silly.

You are mentioning all playoff games, which would go under the role "playoff performer."
