And so I just – I think he is such a different caliber of clutch athlete that it is – we are like the – His ability to diagnose exactly the style of game, of play it would take to win a particular game and be able to play that exact style is unlike any quarterback I've ever seen other than late stage Tom Brady.

And where Brady deserves all the credit in the world is he was at his, you know, kind of physical best late in his career and then also had all the institutional knowledge, which is why he was so dominant, you know, into his 40s.
