You "simply do not share the opinion that he has the intestinal fortitude and mental competence to be consistent over the course of a playoff run to win a Super Bowl." I'm saying that you have no ground to stand on. Things like "intestinal fortitude" and "mental competence" may sound quite meaningful when you do your armchair analysis. But how do you measure those? Do you have some sort of scale?

No, I don't believe that you do. Instead, I believe that you measure them after the fact. Wait till the guy shows it, and then say he has it. ... That is entirely useless, in terms of our discussion here.

My sense is that you are chasing a fairy...this great sounding thing, that you can never have.

Done with conversation. Go Cowboys.
