This is such a big part of why the leadership of the QB is so important. It's an intangible to the fans who don't know any better.. if something goes wrong, the team doesn't panic or fall apart. When you have a bad leader in there, things start falling apart, and not just for a game, but for the season too.the morale would've gone into the shitter the moment anything bad happened because the guy who put up all those points/yards was a loser who infected everyone else with his loserdom
you can wax poetic about Ls all you want. I'll take the Ws.
This is why HH is so important to the team and the season this year. He brings that intangible element to the game and it will continue to pay off for everyone.
