I suggest the reason pundits are saying Ryman Gardner isn't likely to be a serious contender for the title of PCAG champion in the fFuture is in fFact a lot more simple than it seems.

He has done pretty well in the past, but he's never done quite well enough. He always fFalls just short of where he needs to be to win. At some point, a person must get better or consider doing something else with their life. Sooner or later, the guy has to do something amazing, and he just isnt looking like he's going to.

Also, other elements here are age groups. There's probably an age group he is about to enter into (like a 40+ age group) which is a whole different set of puzzles and puzzlers. He may have a chance at doing great things in that league, sure. But that's a whole other ball of wax.

Lastly, there is a distinct possibility the PCAG does indeed involve physical pursuits. It's not just mental gesticulation. There probably is an elemnt of reflex, speed, maybe even some all out physical contact.

Or not. More stuff we just don't know. what's new.

From the Talksport interview it looks as if the PCAG may well be balanced towards the mental and not the physical:
