This is what seperates the merely talented from the consistently elite. The only two of which IMO are Brady and the elder Manning. Most guys work hard to arrive and then don't seem to know what to do to sustain success or realize how much of that is on them. They spend lots of time rolling eyes or shruging shoulders (ok, Peyton did some of that in game, too...) or pointing fingers or defending themselves against everything from bad playcalling to poor roster management to inconsistent teamates and bad calls or bad luck. Brady doesn't waste time on that, he works at getting himself better so he's in a position to push those around him to do likewise in and out of season. Manning does as well although until the injury his work was mostly on his own ability to read and dissect defenses as opposed to mechanics (although he had to work hard on re-establishing those over the last several months).
They say the only thing harder than getting to the top is staying there. QB's who fully acknowledge and grasp that are the rare birds who do.
