Seahawks vs Broncos in the Superbowl

20. I agree wiyth you about Ryan, but not about the importance of yards per pass

I think there are many other things to consider. Does the QB take what the defense gives him? Does he convert 3rd downs? Is he smart about when to throw the ball away? Doe he manage the clock and time-outs well? Does he get plays called crisply with few procedure or delay penalties? Does he win games? Can he inspire his team to come from behind? Does he overcome adversity with key players going down? Can he take a hit when he has to? Can he prolong plays when the pocket breaks down? Can he run for a first down in critical situations? Can he get a pass through the lanes without having a lot of palls batter down? Does he make clean ball exchanges? Doe he make convincing play-action fakes Are his teammates excited about playing for him?

Those are the things I would use to measure a QB. It may the hardest job in all of sport.

We had a guy named Jeff George who might have had the best arm of anyone ever to play in the NFL. But he just couldn't do enough of those other things consistently. Our owner (who had just taken over after his father passed, got sucked into that rifle arm, hook line and sinker (to mix about 10 metaphors). Irsay has learned a lot since then.

It will be very interesting to see who bites on "Johnny Football", because I doubt that he measures up very well on my list of questions.
