[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 1091320, member: 17987"] That one's always a bit of a conundrum. On one hand you have a guy like Matt, who in my estimation is amongst the best in the league at his *initial* game planning and approach. But I often don't think he adjusts that well when teams punch back, or when his initial plan doesn't work as intended... How many games did we have this year (even wins!) where it felt like we went up early and then had to hang on for dear life in the second half and just hope we'd built up enough of a "cushion" in the first? And then there's guys like Ben Johnson on the other hand. He DOES seem to adjust well, and usually gets a good response from his team...BUT is also often put into those situations because of bad early-decision making. Like, the Bears/Johnson (and by extension Caleb) have been in situations where they have to make the right adjustments and secure a 4Q comeback precisely because they didn't manage the earlier periods well. Similar to his former team in the Lions, we saw so many instances here where Ben made some questionable 4th down calls and if he'd just taken points in many of these situations they just would've won, no need for 4Q theatrics. It's similar to how I've seen all these folks talk about how fantastic Caleb is in the 4Q, and there's some truth to that, but a lot of the times he's also had to have been Superman in 4Q because he had like 70 passing yards and a passer rating of 40 in Q1-Q3.
