Also I left out the most important one: he's physically more exciting than
any other quarterback.  Passes look the same on the throwing end whether
they're completed or not.  But broken field running by a quarterback is
rare and breathtaking.  Whether it adds up in the final box score is
something you only realize if you're a statistical wanker.  As a viewer,
you remember the moments where he did something no one else can do right
now.
