He was ****ing unconscious in that game against a SAVAGE philly defense.
Like you said -- it's the difference between the casual fans and the guys who watch him every week. We KNOW when he's playing well and it isn't because he's out there pulling plays from his ass.
It's because he doesn't have to. When he's locked in, it's Neo in the Matrix. Everything slows down around him and he just looks like he's in complete command. The more 'showy' games he plays are usually among his worst.

He talks a lot about that, too... the prep time and practice that's behind all the arm angles, throwing on the run, etc.... already knowing what he's doing in any given situation and then physically preparing to make those plays.
And even when the offense is at its worst, the first drive of the game tends to still be above average since those are the scripted plays.. and then at the end of games when he just goes out and plays ball.
