Intangibles and "it" ???

Hey Billy, go back and read my previous post. You\'re talking about magic, I\'m not. You\'ve turned \"it\" into some crazy power that Popeye gets when he eats spinach.

The title of this thread is INTANGIBLES and \"it\". As I said before, you\'re talking about the same thing. There are tangible attributes that are measurable - height, weight, speed, arm strength, even things like efficiency or hell even smarts if you want to count the wonderlic.

Then there are intangibles - those things for which there aren\'t stats. Desire, leadership, quick decision making. Those are OBSERVABLE but there are no stats for those attributes. Those are INTANGIBLES. You act as if \"it\" is only this other special quality that no one knows about. Elway was the comeback kid. I know he was, but it was still an intangible. Who makes faster decisions? Peyton or Brooks? You know the answer but show me stats to prove them. You can\'t b/c it\'s an INTANGIBLE.

That\'s what I\'m talking about. Leadership, football smarts, ability to read a defense... intangibles. If you want to talk about some magical power go right ahead - but that\'s not what I\'m talking about.
