Dutch 874 Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) Here is a list of QB traits that I saw on an Eagles website. So I decided to have some fun with them. The point of this thread is to name the first QB that comes to your mind and best epitomizes that trait. Also, bold the EIGHT QB qualities that you believe are most important to the QB position. Accuracy: Drew Brees Arm Strength: Matthew Stafford Athleticism: RG3 Clutch Play: Aaron Rodgers Elusiveness/Mobility: Cam Newton Football IQ: Peyton Manning Gunslinger Mentality: Jay Cutler Health: Eli Manning Improvisation: Ben Roethlisberger Leadership: Drew Brees Measurables: Cam Newton Mechanics: Aaron Rodgers Pocket Awareness: Tom Brady Poise: Aaron Rodgers Pre-Snap Reads: Peyton Manning Progressions: Peyton Manning Student of the Game: Peyton Manning Vision: Aaron Rodgers Copy and paste template. Enjoy Accuracy: Arm Strength: Athleticism: Clutch Play: Elusiveness/Mobility: Football IQ: Gunslinger Mentality: Health: Improvisation: Leadership: Measurables: Mechanics: Pocket Awareness: Pocket Presence/Poise: Pre-Snap Reads: Progressions: Student of the Game: Vision: Edited July 12, 2013 by dutchff7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RazorStar 4,025 Posted July 12, 2013 Accuracy: Drew Brees Arm Strength: Jay Cutler Athleticism: Robert Griffin Clutch Play: Eli Manning Elusiveness/Mobility: Aaron Rodgers Football IQ: Drew Brees Gunslinger Mentality: Matt Stafford Health: Eli Manning Improvisation: Ben Roethlisberger Leadership: Drew Brees Measurables: Andrew Luck Mechanics: Aaron Rodgers Pocket Awareness: Eli Manning Pocket Presence/Poise: Same as above? Pre-Snap Reads: Peyton Manning Progressions: Tom Brady Student of the Game: Peyton Manning Vision: Aaron Rodgers Surprised you have Aaron Rodgers as a clutch QB, he's basically the exact opposite of that. He plays so well in the first three quarters that you don't need to worry about making a comeback in the 4th, because you're almost never behind. In those rare situations where that does happen, the Packers normally lose. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're just close 2nds in so many categories, that on the whole they come out rated very highly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch 874 Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) Strange that Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady aren't on my list anywhere. They're just close 2nds in so many categories, that on the whole they come out rated very highly. I was thinking the same about Aaron Rodgers thinking his name should be on my list more. I probably did force his name in the Clutch area. Rodgers is probably like the Jerry Rice of receivers; He may not be the best at one particular thing but he's so damn good at everything it makes him better at than everyone else. Also, I like the Drew Brees vision pick. If it's a play to be made on the field. Drew Brees is going to find it. You can't have three 5000 yard seasons throwing to a multitude of targets without great vision. Also for pocket presence, Brady is an excellent candidate for that in my opinion. He's so savvy in the pocket with how he steps up into the pocket and has great footwork side stepping sacks etc; definitely has the 6th sense.

KempBolt 498 Posted July 12, 2013 If you have to ask the question, he's probably not a good guy for that category. I think that he was going a play on the health category. Big Ben pops into his head first because he had to wonder if he'll stay healthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HUMCALC 3 Posted July 16, 2013 We're talking about QB's only. No TE's. He's listed as NE's 3rd string QB. As far as athleticism goes, how many other QBs have lined up at: QB, WR, RB, and blocker on STs? As far as leadership goes, tell me who else has taken a 1-4 team to the playoffs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KempBolt 498 Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) I really enjoy Bronco fans attempting to prove that Tebow is really a good QB. Edited July 16, 2013 by KempBolt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thanatos 2,847 Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) He's listed as NE's 3rd string QB. As far as athleticism goes, how many other QBs have lined up at: QB, WR, RB, and blocker on STs? As far as leadership goes, tell me who else has taken a 1-4 team to the playoffs In 2002, the Jets started 1-4 before benching Vinny Testaverde for Chad Pennington and they made the playoffs. Pretty much exactly what happened with Tebow's situation. Brett Favre did it with the '04 Packers. Steve McNair did it with the '02 Titans. Warren Moon did it with the '93 Houston Oilers. Stan Humphries did with the '92 Chargers. Terry Bradshaw did it with the '76 Steelers. And finally, Virgil Carter did it with the '70 Bengals. You know what all these teams have in common? They didn't back into the playoffs by losing their final three games, and they all had to reach an actual winning record to get in, not just 8-8. Not that this means jackshit when you look at Tebow's accuracy as a QB, (worst in the league). But don't act like its something no else has ever done before.
