We played against him my newbie year, and it was actually so cool," one QB claimed. "You 'd hear tales about his intelligence quotient and also his means of seeing and also comprehending the activity. Yet to view it in person, the way he operated, just hand indicators ... his entire procedure was smooth as well as restful, like he would certainly performed it a million times. I indicate, he possesses." A near second along with 12 ballots was the Rams' Matthew Stafford, right now 36 and entering his 16th period.
