[QUOTE="ThatGuy, post: 944556, member: 3440"] Dunno that too many will agree with me, but I pretty much love CBK's quote on which QB stood out to him in this article. It's smart, and accomplishes a few things: 1 - Keeps the 2-3 frontrunner QBs from getting "too big for their britches." There's been a lot of talk about the QB battle; everyone keeps asking about it in press conferences, everyone keeps writing about it, everyone on the message boards keep talking about it. We all want to know who'll start, as do the QBs themselves. With one small quote, Key told them all "Look, I saw lots of good things, but the job is still open, and you've still got a lot of work to do to make it yours." Seems that there really is competition there. 2 - Reminds the QBs they're part of a TEAM. They're important, but they're not going to be the focus. They need everyone on the team to perform in order to make it work. There are no "star players" on the team - just guys who make plays and keep improving. This is a stark contrast from the rumored "We'll start you if you stay," cult-of-the-recruiting-rankings approach of TFG. 3 - Engages the whole team. How important was it to Brody Rhodes to hear that? How much harder will he continue to work because of that single mention, when the press has been focused on 4 other guys? How much harder will other players work, when they see players outside the press's radar called out for their performance? The message sent - every player is important in the eyes of this coach. And he sees what you're doing, even if your name isn't written up in print as often as some others. I doubt that was all planned in CBK's mind - I just think it's good leadership, and a good look.
