AFC Champ QBs

Since 2001 when Tom Brady entered the league, here's a list of AFC Championship appearances by QB:

Brady: 12
Manning: 5
Roethlisberger: 5
Flacco: 3
Sanchez: 2
Stewart: 1
Gannon: 1
McNair: 1
Plummer: 1
Rivers: 1
Luck: 1
Bortles: 1
Trent Green/Matt Cassel/Alex Smith: 0

A few takeaways:

• Brady is to date, 12 out of 17 for making the AFC title game. 
• Brady has more than Manning, Roethlisberger and Rivers combined. 
• For all the comments about how Rivers is underrated and jokes about Flacco being elite, Flacco has a leg up on him. 
• The Sanchez, Plummer and Bortles appearances makes the Chiefs absence that much more painful. 
• Obviously, the team around you shouldn't be overlooked. Roethlisberger has 5 while Rivers only has 1, with their career stats being comparable. 
• Extrapolating to what I really care about, if Mahomes is on the level of Roethlisberger/Rivers the range of AFC title appearances could be 1-5. If Mahomes is on the level of Brady/Manning, the range could be 5-12. 
• As for Super Bowl appearances, it's Brady 8, Manning 4, Roethlisberger 3, Gannon 1, Flacco 1. 

EDIT 1/13/19: 

Brady is now 13 out of 18 for making the AFC Championship. That's insane. 

Mahomes is 1 for 1.
