A "game manager" QB is just that. He's a Jimmy G, Derek Carr, Minshew, etc. A guy who isn't going to lose the game generally, but also isn't going to be the GUY and go win the game for you.

Trevor is THE GUY. That 3rd down stat line shows that. Chargers playoff game shows that.

We're 6 - 2. A lot of that has to do with him not just managing the game well but also elevating his play when it matters the most. He's been doing it since last year. As long as we keep providing this kid with adequate offensive line play and quality starters he'll continue to elevate his play. 

I said it in the gameday thread yesterday. He's starting to get used to playing under duress now with pressure hovering by him and he's not shy about taking the hits to hang in there and make the big time plays. He did it in London against the Bills. He did it again yesterday. He showed he was willing to run on a gimpy knee against New Orleans. 

This team is lucky to have him. He's still nowhere near his ceiling in my opinion.
