That would be a guy like Jimmy G, who’s averaging about half that.

Not necessarily. It isn't all about yards that define game manager. It's about avoiding critical mistakes. He survived the INT, but any other mistake in such a close game regardless of yards we lose. Championship football can be I guess a qb leading a team to 4 fg's to 1TD. But I think that credit when you watch games like we have against Oakland and Tennessee goes to the D.

He had a great game putting up the yards given 9 sacks, but he did take us out of field goal range 3 times and some of those sacks were pretty bad and on him. If Tennessee doesn't go for 2 and just kicks the extra point, this is a different discussion.

Jimmy G isn't even a good game manager with his critical mistakes (especially late with the lead).
