Blackstar12 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Players being “clutch” is one of the most played out things in sports. Especially in the NFL where the player needs things out of his control to go right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but then you could use the same case for players who falter under pressure. I don’t think it’s outlandish to think that when some players (or some people in general, really) know that there’s a lot more on the line, they are more focused/on point. Maybe it’s an effort thing more so than a clutch thing, but I think there are definitely people that change their level of play at the end of a close game - for better or worse.

I think confidence plays a part in this as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially in the NFL where the player needs things out of his control to go right. Sometimes, but sometimes he creates it all. You can say someone catching the ball is out of the QB's control, but placing the ball in stride and making it easy to catch IS in his control. I agree it's an over-done phrase, but I also think it's in the QB's hands quite often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a story about Ken Stabler. He was a pitcher as a child and at the end of the game when they needed he struck out the opposing team. He was Mr. Cool, and he wasnt phased at all by pressure His father asked him afterwards how he did it. If hed been up there he wouldve cracked.

I was mainly taking about the NFL where so many things have to go right around you to make it even possible. It’s not like Baseball or Basketball where there’s more pressure to come up big.

Puts up a lot of really good empty stats, but does not have any sort of clutch gene. When do we put the choker label on him? (this comment was trollol.) Boi, I was about to burn you alive. You put some respek on Kirk's name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means 6 were from year 2/3 (which is roughly 1 full season due to injury) The number is not including just the last drive. For example against KC he counted the last *3* drives that Wentz failed on. Your next paragraph is irrelevant, because you didnt follow the premise. Wentz performs significantly worse statistically. YOU WROTE AN ENTIRE NOVEL AND WERE WRONG ON EVERY SINGLE POINT! <3 RMIB Who cares. Dakota deserves the largest QB contract in nfl history. I’m sure Jerry is working out the kinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
