Default Is 'clutch hitting' overrated?

Posted By: davidcycleback

In a 10-9 win, is driving in the last three runs in the 9th inning more significant than driving the first three runs in the 2nd? Most sportscasters and fans beleive so.

In football, is a quarterback leading his team to a dramatic last minute win more significant than a quarterback who maintained the lead from the second quarter to the end? What does it mean that John Elway is judged as great in part due to the number of last minutes wins? Why are these wins given special significance over other wins?
