Yeah that just sounds like some Jordan Peterson word salad tbh. Tom Brady is elite at reading defenses, has elite accuracy, elite pocket presence and an above average arm. You don't have to run a 4.4 to be a game changer.
Again, name ONE other "game manager" qb who was tasked with sitting in 5 wide and dissecting defenses, to the point even their best WRs became expendable.
The system my guy. Managing the game means you aren't a gunslinger and we know Tom wasn't that. The most elite game managers are taking what the defense gives them all game and plays the percentages because they know that will win every time. Keeping it simple. Then if a shot is there and you want to be greedy take it. Gamechangers spend games going high risk low reward. Managers spend games going low risk high reward. They know keeping the opposing defense on the field longer breaks them mentally and physically.
It's similar to basketball where you don't want to spend all game letting your superstar go one against five just because they can or your team coming down just to take the first shot you get. The best teams, the winning teams play through everybody by moving the ball and bodies to work the defense each time down them start hitting them with big plays because they're tired of defending entire shot clocks.
Or with boxing how you jab and body shot wearing down the opponent down and when the opportunity comes you take your big shot.
That's who Brady was. He didn't mind working down to get a FG. The difference between guys like Brady vs guys with more physical talent like Rodgers, Favre, Josh Allen or Cam and others is they wanted the touchdowns/big plays or wanted to use their superhuman gifts to get it done. Brady said I'll just hit this slot guy or TE for the first down each time. He kept the game simple, playing it with his mind more than his physical talent. That is the epitome of a game manager. Opposing coordinators don't change their entire defense up for game managers they stress "just do your job" to their guys and we will be okay. When those avenger type gamechangers are on the schedule they will change everything thing up for that one guy because they know that one guy can put pressure on every part of your defense every single play. In their minds, they feel like we can't stop them we just get lucky. They don't say that vs the thinking game manager style QBs.
Now, I will be back. I have to Google who the hell Jordan Peterson is.
