That's the difference between Russell Wilson and clowns like Matt Stafford and Jay Cutler. I don't give a **** if they can throw the ball a mile or if they are built like an ox.
I'll take a QB who has good but not great physical attributes with incredible intangibles over a QB who has incredible physical attributes and questionable intangles any day.

So they bail on him on the road then, eh?
Matt Stafford threw for the 5th highest yardage total NFL
history last season. He is not the problem in Detroit. As for Cutler, again, by most accounts his teammates will run through walls for him. But the media has pasted this 'diva' label on him and suddenly shit that Brady would get fellated for gets him excoriated. Cutler's problem isn't 'leadership', it's the fact that he's never seen a throw he didn't like (or an offensive lineman he did). He's a questionable decisionmaker and that sometimes burns him. That's it.
The leader label is a horseshit mythology we attach to people in hindsight. There are very few QBs in the history of this league that won
because of their leadership (again, Montana, Brady and a few others probably qualify). Most of them were simply capable leaders with exceptional talent.
