A truly prolific and consummate pro who took control of the game and was fearless with all of his passes. Was an exceptional touch passer with great timing and accuracy on short throws. Had outstanding pocket presence and moved and slid very well. Was also a clutch team leader and a winner. He was consistently productive. Was undersized for an NFL quarterback, and while nimble he was also not a top scrambler. Could sometimes force balls down the field and overthrow his targets. At the end of his National Football League career, he lost a lot of arm strength and started to deal with more and more injuries.
Long Range Potential: Hall-of-Fame quarterback and one of the best passers in NFL history.
