For all the stick Sam gets, from myself included, only QB in league history to win 14 games with 2 different teams in back to back years.

In part because he’s fully in agreement with his coaches and coordinators, mostly. He has the physical size and tools and is smart enough QB to understand defences and make adjustments.

With the right game plan setup, as he had in Minnesota and again in Seattle, he just has to execute the game plan they have set up for him in passing situations. He doesn’t have to do more than that or take it upon himself to do something on his own unlike some guys who get frustrated in that seemingly restrictive mindset, he has no problem or ego around that. So, things get done the way the coaches plan and map it out, without any surprises in the QB going off script (Russ, Geno) and a QB who can complete all short and long passes.

His mistakes are usually 5-10 yard interceptions where he tries to force something he himself thinks the play or throw should work instead of trusting the coaches who have told him to throw it away.

I somewhat think Hurts is the same in that regard.

So with the execution more or less robotic from the QB, it comes down to the Xs and Os from the coordinator, and adapting within game from the coordinator vs the defense, to have the success.
