It's basically a new season every week. The most un-emotional men tend to have the most success at this level. At least that's what I believe.

I don't think he lacks any fire at all. It's just a matter of taking your lumps, understanding you're not going to win them all but you're certainly not going to lose them all. When he's on fire play wise his actual fire comes out of him. Rightfully so. 

It's understandable. Nobody wants to hear [BLEEP] coming out of your mouth when you're the QB and not making enough plays. He was quiet his rookie year but you can see now how he truly is with quite a few big games, big time throws and the performances he's had this year.

Give him another year and a play off appearance and I bet he'll be more along the lines of an Aaron Rodgers. He'll be cool and calm in the media circus but on the field he's going to be giving guys the death stare after they [BLEEP] up or getting a lot more vocal with calls being missed, blown assignments, etc. 

There's arrogance and then there's a quiet confidence. He has a quiet confidence and when the game gets big he's seeming to get big as well and make big plays. That's what you want to see out of a generational talent.
