You can’t measure intangibles by reading stat sheets. You can just tell by watching the plays and results. Guys like  Trevor and Kyler Murray. Trevor has got the size and tools, but hasn’t had the greatest surrounding cast to help him. I’m not sure he has a complete command of the game when it’s needed most. Murray has got something most don’t have, which is speed when scrambling. But command of the playbook has been a problem with him from the start, and if you watch Cardinal games, he misses open receivers. Not because of errant throws- he just can’t see them downfield.

Those guys I mentioned on the last post, being able to lift their teams, are guys you know just sitting on your couch watching games, that they can make clutch plays with their intangibles when it counts. Mahomes did that last week in that final drive. Lamar, Allen, Herbert, Burrow does it every Sunday.

There isn’t a starting QB in the NFL that doesn’t have intangibles. Some intangibles are stronger than others. You know, like being a winner or a leader, being able to read and pick apart defenses, scrambling, being able to make quick decisions, or make uncanny, off-schedule plays when things break down. Maybe it’s confidence in the huddle, maybe it’s the ability to see the entire field or make throws that very few can pull off. And there’s just something about being clutch when it counts.

If the stuff you are saying is viable the Bengals would not be 5-8.  Purdy has been trash since he lost his left tackle. LOL    Do you watch games or ever go to them?

Nice try but no cigar.

NFL football isn’t a one-man operation. You’ve still got to have a good surrounding cast. See my comment about Trevor Lawrence.

NFL football also has a main component known as defense. The Bengals have given up the 4th most points per game at 27.7. Think that has anything to do with their record?
