Qualities of an NFL Quarterback


MHS831

Recommended Posts

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.

Decision making should be at number one. You can be the greatest leader in history, but if you make bad decisions, you end up getting released and signed by Cleveland. :)

I havent seen many negatives on luck, only thing I see is experience and a long wind up before his quick release.

and he's fixed that dramatically since last year. The one negative I've noticed is that he side arms is a little bit but nothing like Jimmy does. And since when is Drew Brees 6'4?? He's like 6'1 tops Maybe they say he's 6'4 in New Orleans
