“Let’s see him do it in the playoffs. This is a great regular season stat, but every single one of the other QBs on that list has a Super Bowl ring. Until he wins when it matters, this is just another data point in a long history of a team that can’t even get over the hump. I am a Cowboys fan.”

“Nothing burger. You want to impress me? Make a serious playoff run.”

“The most elite quarterback ever until it matters.”
