To help untangle these euphemisms, we created a glossary to decode NFL evaluations, separated by levels of nefariousness that even Dante would appreciate. And in that spirit, let us take you on a journey ...
CEILING
The external limit set by people who aren't the player on how good the player can be. A player must spend his career justifying his CEILING.
CONSENSUS
What the NFL personality or writer believes. There's a CONSENSUS that what they're saying is true.
CONVENTIONAL WISDOM
A quarterback needs to be tall and have big hands to succeed. That's why Ryan Mallett is the best quarterback in the NFL.
FILM
A real FOOTBALL PLAYER with high FOOTBALL IQ is someone who watches a lot of film. Does not refer to the movie “Concussion†or the documentary “League of Denial.â€
LEADERSHIP
The quality of being able to yell out inspirational quotes and cliches.
MATURITY
The state where a young adult can stand on the podium and assert that both teams played hard.
