Exactly. Guys like Favre, Manning, Brady and McNabb are all guys who go that extra distance to make a play when there appears to be nothing there. They elevate their team's play. Football is the ultimate team sport. If a quarterback doesn't have the right supporting cast, he is not going to be successful.
Someone brought up the fact that Tony Romo has made a very average offensive line in Dallas look superb. Jeff Garcia seems to be doing same thing in Tampa Bay. That's the bonus of having a mobile quarterback.
Everyone is back on the T.O. bandwagon after he struggled last year and I'd have to say that nobody is more responsible for this than Tony Romo. T.O. is not a really fast guy, but he's great once he catches the ball and those types of guys flourish with a mobile quarterback. If you look at T.O.'s career he's always had mobile guys getting him the ball (Romo, Garcia, McNabb, Young). The one year he struggled was last year when he had a pure pocket passer in Bledsoe throwing him the ball.
