1. Leadership: Do men follow him? Does he lead by example? Do people listen to him and trust him? Does he know how to handle celebrity? Does he say the right things to the press? (Peyton Manning, Joe Montana)

2. Arm Strength: Can he make all of the throws and get the ball there quickly? Does he have a touch as well? (John Elway)

3. Quick Release: How long does it take to get rid of the pass after the decision has been made? (Dan Marino)

4. Decsion Making: Can he read the defense? Does he find the open WR? Does he go through his progressions without taking sacks? (Tom Brady, Marino)

5. Instinct: Does he feel pressure and instinctively step out of harm's way without panic? Does he know when throw it away and know when to run? Is he always aware of the game situation and the game plan? (Brees, Elway, Montana).

6. Accuracy: Does the hit the reciever in stride? Does he throw them open? Can he place the deep ball where only his teammate can catch it? (Brady, Drew Brees)

7. Intelligence: Does he study film and does it carry over to the game? Does he know his team's limitations and strengths? Does he know the playbook and what everyone is doing on every play? (Manning)

8. Mobility: Is he always a threat to get a first down by running the ball? Does he have good speed? (Michael Vick)

9. Toughness: Can he take a beating and continue to play at a high level? Does he have the size he needs to take the beating? (Brett Favre)

10. Character: Is he a symbol of what men should be? (Brees, Manning, Montana)

How often do college players come out with characteristics that draw comparisions to the great ones in every aspect of the ideal QB? Luck has, and he may just be the most complete talent to come out since Elway. However, not any of the QBs listed above possessed ALL of these attributes, except maybe Elway. I am sure some of you disagree, but the best teams in the NFL have great QBs. Although Luck is not proven, he is our best chance to have a great QB.

Cam Newton fans: This should expose why he will not be a great NFL QB.

You guys are gonna be so fuged if he comes out next year.

At this point, the main reason I want Luck to declare, the Panthers to get the #1 overall, and Luck to be wearing our colors on the podium next to Goodell is because I believe in population control.

Luck being drafted could help completely off-set every child birth in 2011 by mid-November.

Newton made a 100 on your test.

Newton must have taken it four times and combined the scores.

Vision is a good one that I missed. Brees is a great example. I watched Luck and could not actually tell how much he was reading/going through progressions. Is he doing it without turning his head or is everything predetermined. It is the only possible ***** in his armor.

At 24, Luck may very well be one of the best in the NFL, considering age will start to deteriorate Brady, Manning, and Brees.

You are destined for disappointment.

Most of you people are comparing this kid to some of the greatest QB's that ever played the game. You are expecting him to come and be great.

The truth of the matter is that, the most that 90% of you know about him is that his college coach and some National Media types said he was really good.

Is Luck going to be a good QB in the NFL? Probably.

Is he going to come in and be one of the best right off of the bat? No.

If he gets stuck playing behind this OL is he fuged? Yes.

Is his long wind-up and delivery going to be a MAJOR factor on whether he has success in the NFL, like make or break type factor? YES.

Most of you guys that are hyping this kid are heading for a severly disappointing 2011.

What does Vince Young not have on this list?

I was kidding about Newton, but he simply relies on his supreme athleticism too much for me. Newton has been criticized for his lack of intelligence, his delivery, and his character, something nobody seems willing to address right now. His stock is ascending, and I was very impressed with him vs. SC. However, does he have the experience in a pro style offense. He is a stud and has all the physical tools. I have no real negatives on him, just question marks.

People who have criticized him for lack of intelligence don't know him. Cam and I have several mutual friends and the times I've talked to Cam he's no idiot. No genius, but no idiot. Character? You'd be better off dissing Cecil's, not Cam's. Cam made what can only be described as an immature, stupid decision when he was at Florida. Just idiotic. Doesn't make him an idiot though.

      Anyone know XL’s drop % rate?

      After the Chiefs game a 6'5 X would really help in the Red zone. I would also love to add Slayton in FA

      But again, you can restock a defense through free agency much easier than offensive skill positions. Spend all our cap space on defense, take a true elite prospect who also happens to fit a position of need in T-Mac, and then use the rest of our picks on defense. Again, every season there’s a smattering of great DL, LB, and DB options in free agency, a Top 10 WR never hits free agency, ever.  The only way you get one is through the draft or giving up 1st round picks in a trade for one. If he’s there when we’re on the clock, he has to be the pick, he’s just that good.

      Bryce QB School Week 12

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      It must be an early Christmas for JT O'Sullivan having Thielen back so he could put a coal in Thielen's stocking every chance he gets.  Honestly, the biggest surprise is not so much the anticipation. There were those moments here and there last year as well. It's that even that one positive quality he had seemingly vanished his first two games to where it looked like it was all but over, only for it to start coming back some until you get exclamation points all over this game film. And some of those throws were under a lot of duress, something I feel is something new. Finally, those deeper shots are starting to land. Not all of them, but enough that defenses may have to start respecting them. No guarantees whether this will end up as more of anomaly but I certainly hope it isn't. The Green Bay game was a sampler of what BY could be. Against KC, we got a meal. If we could start getting these meals regularly, we might actually have something to work with here.
