When I see a completion percentage and YPA where they're at (both elite, and both good indicators of quarterback play), I'm sorry, I don't see a game manager.

If you really believe pointing to one or two games across the span of his career means he's not a game manager, I can't help you.
And I'm not even saying he wasn't being a game manager in those two games anyway.
Bottom line, like I said, you'll never find anybody talking about him making graeat throws, or how he won a game for the team.
