ODU AGGIE Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 27 minutes ago, mistertim said: I think to me the "It factor" is mostly about making the biggest plays when the team needs it most, playing your best when it's the most important, and never being fazed by how big the stage is or how important the game is. That requires high confidence, extreme focus (see Terry's amazing catch as noted above by @ThomasRoane), having a short memory for mistakes, and the ability to remain calm and composed in highly stressful situations. TM, you just described Taylor Heinicke, as he demonstrated every one of these characteristics against the Giants and the Bucs. Maybe that was your intent? 1.

Mooka Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Heinicke has it. He's a baller. But if we're not targeting a franchise QB in the draft then we're really dumb.... and will probably be trading first round picks for Gorrapolo at some point lol.

One thing we should not do again is trade up or draft a QB based on one good year in College. I'd imagine the Jets fans are suffering from buyers remorse after this weekend. Zach Wilson looks awful!

If more of his games are like the NYG performance than I'll be a believer. This week is really a big game for him. Playing @ Buffalo will be a sturdy test. He'll have plenty of time to prepare and game plan. Not going to put winning the game on his shoulders but he should not be the reason the team loses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Rivera seems to have the IT factor. He is 4-0 in Primetime games. A complete reversal of what we saw prior to Rivera. So we can stop talking about Primetime Futility, right ? 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the one year of production in college thing is a bit worrisome to me as well. I was pretty shocked when SF traded 3 1sts to take a small school QB with 1 year of production (not even 1 good year after other mediocre ones...only 1 year of starting period). IIRC Shanny and Jay were both guys who also weren't high on taking QBs who didn't have multiple years starting in college. I really like Zach Wilson's skillset and I liked him coming out, but yeah...he really looked bad on Sunday. Though of course every rookie QB has had horrible games their first year so I'm not going to make too many long term judgements based on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those fans are damn close to Seattle when it comes to energy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fearlessNelms Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Whatever "it" is and however you define "it", "it" is probably the #1 quality you want your QB to have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stone Cold Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 It?….there’s no moment too large. Matter of fact, those with “it” thrive under the spotlight. They have an energy, an infectious energy, that never says die regardless of how the chips are stacked. “It” is easy to follow because “it” gets it done when it matters most. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone Cold Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I’m sticking with the Johnny Manziel comp. if your nickname is johnny football, you clearly have “it”. Very similar style and approach to the way the game is played. Just without the enormous baggage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
