re: Here's the definition of a 'game manager'

I can do this too. In 2006 Drew averaged 34.6 attempts per game a 8.0ypa. In 2011 he averaged 41 attempts and 8.3 YPA. Fact is, it is an average and you sounded like a maroon earlier

People on this board get so caught up in arguing tangent points instead of the root. The sole point of all of that stuff about YPA is that some people were using that as a claim to prove Wilson is elite and not a game manager. He is neither elite nor a game manager. He is an above avg QB that wins games with a very good supporting cast around him. That YPA stat is irrelevant in the spirit of this thread, which is whether or not Wilson is a game manager. If you would take Aaron Rodgers and place him on the Seahawks, do you think they would be better or worse for it? Now, take Wilson and place him on the Packers. Zero running game, avg O-line, avg/below avg def. Are they better or worse with Wilson? Wilson is not the type yet that will win a game purely on his throwing ability because he simply has not been asked to do that. He has been asked to manage the game. Wilson was 18/25 for 206 yards and 2td's/0 int in the Super Bowl last year which is nearly exactly his avg game for his career. He is incredibly efficient. He will not carry a team and win with his arm on a consistent basis. He was given a safety, a pick-6 and a kickoff returned for a TD by Harvin in that game before he threw his first TD pass with 2:58 left in the 3rd quarter.
