That's not to say he didn't also have more than his fair share of terrible receivers, who dropped passes and ran poor routes. Todd Pinkston, FredEx, Billy McMullen, James Thrash, etc.

That said, his intangibles of leadership, elusiveness, and arm strength I always thought made up for his accuracy deficiencies.
His athletic ability has always made him what he is, so his shelf life as he ages will be shorter than the pure pocket passers in his age bracket (see Manning).
