But he didn't mean it as a negative thing like you do.

I may be wrong, but I feel like "game manager" and "franchise quarterback" are terms that weren't used until maybe a couple years ago?

If that's true, I would say it's the media's attempt to put more attention on the QB, since the league is lead by QB's nowadays.

A Quarterback's job is to keep the chains moving and put the team in a position to score, and at the same time, preventing the team from being put in a bad position. Game Manager QB's as well as Playmaker QB's do this. QB's that fail to do both of these things are just bad QB's.

A game manager is a guy who throws for less than 25 touchdowns in his "career year". An elite guy throws for 40-50 touchdowns and/or wins the Super Bowl in his career year. Hope that helps.

Not really.

Not really, if you are trying to assign a QB to a category. A game manager gets the ball to the playmakers.

Good game managers become playmakers on third down and in the 4th quarter. I see where he's coming from. I can't stand this idea that QBs who throw for a ton of yards/TDs are franchise, and low yardage/low TD QBs are automatically game managers.

I would say that it's typically not being a playmaker to throw an easy three yard completion on third and two. Or, for that matter, to play field position with a five point lead in the fourth quarter because you know your Defense isn't going to let the other team score. It's all relative.

You have to differentiate between a QB who is a "game manager" and a QB with game management skills that can make plays.

It's a meaningless bullshit buzz phrase.

My point is that the internet definition of game manager is different than most coaches definition. I'm real sure that Andy Reid would consider Alex Smith's performance in the playoff game to be as both a game manager and a playmaker.

Exactly. It is a term amateurs use to describe a QB they don't like.

Dunno. You call it."

Game manger right there.

Technically, Tom Brady is a game manager. But he is a DAMN GOOD ONE.

Wrong.

As Dilfer said the term game manager is only a negative term until that qb wins the superbowl. So I guess we'll see.
