I still think one of the most ridiculous stats is that Gronk averaged more yards a catch than Hill, Jefferson, and OBJ.

Brady once told me that accuracy is about ādecisiveness.ā He just mentioned how the greats know presnap which target has the best matchup. If heās covered, they move to the outlet. If heās covered, they throw it away. The best have thought that way for decades.

A "system QB" is a perceived slight. It's not. Elway was the least system Q ever, and look at his stats under Reeves and Phillips/Shanahan. Coaching matters. It matters to Caleb, Drake, Bo, Jayden ... and then they enhance the system with their own skillset. For more:

It still baffles me that Tennessee had a coach who deployed such a ninja move in the pivotal moment of a playoff game ā against two greatest-eversāto help seal a win, and was deemed expendable.

Just finished āAmerican Kings.ā Hall of Fame worthy. I have no personal experience but my sense is writing a book is a tag team match against King Kong and Godzilla. Such great reporting and weaving so many storylines so well with the segments. The entire book was a game-winning 2-minute drill.

Itās been said before but worth saying again: one of the things that makes Andy Reid great is that he consistently draws up short, safe passes that maximize the receiverās chances of RAC. Why other OCs, especially with struggling young QBs, arenāt stealing those plays ā¦

This is next Thursday at DSK in Brooklyn and the books are really interesting. Wickersham, especially, is doing some really weird (good) stuff in his quarterback book, and I am looking forward to asking him about it.

Finished this book today, and my god, is it incredible. Such a fun read - learned so much about so many quarterbacks, and the reporting and writing are, of course, impeccable.

Happy 30th to Patrick Mahomes. Has any quarterback been the undisputed best player in football as long as him? (Save your arguments.) Not Unitas, not Bradshaw or Staubach, not Montana or Marino or Elway, not even Young or Warner or Peyton or Brady or Rodgers. Maybe Favre, in the 90s?

When Jake Browning was asked what he was thinking heading into the final drive, he said, "Be delusional." So true! Quarterbacks have to find a sweet spot between self-awareness and disconnecting from reality. For more on that ...

Digging in, finally. I asked my pop warner coach to play QB, but his son was entrenched as the starter. Genetics weren't in my favor either. All I can do is watch and worship.
