So doing what is asked of you and what you are supposed to do is exceedingly or unbelievably great?

I bet your wife thinks you have nine inches, too.

I am not trying to belittle his accomplishments this season. He was the starting QB for an undefeated national championship team. He avoided making crucial mistakes, and adequately distributed the ball.

I am not, however, going to say he was phenomenal.

Bama's defense was phenomenal. Hell, your defense scored more points in the championship game than your offense. Maybe not technically, but realistically.

It doesn't make him great in everyones eyes, but he was great for the team.

I don't have a wife. I'm only 22. I wish I did though

I see what you are saying. He won't be considered one of the all time greats. He won't be mentioned with Namath, Stabler, etc. other than the fact they all played for Alabama. But he was phenomenal for the team. It's just another way for people to look at it if they choose. But I do see what your point is.

+1,000

Congrats to him, he definitely played well enough to win games and didn't turn the ball over, but that's not phenom worthy. No one think Matt Mauck or Matt Flynn are going to earn phenom status.
