how many times has he completed a pass and you wondered, how the hell did he just do that?

it works both ways, guts can take you so far but they can get you killed too.

I say this all the time. After he threw the second INT, he dropped a perfect ball over double coverage to Jimmy down the sideline. Everyone said "wow great throw". That same throw gets picked the next week and everyone says "what an awful decision, terrible throw". It's part of what makes him great. Sometimes those throws become turnovers but more often than not, in the past, he completes those balls.

This year a higher percentage of those risky throws have been deflected or picked. Again, it's just variance.
