What seperates a #23 QB from a #28 QB? What are the characteristics of a successful QB in today's NFL?
With my 12/1000 light bulbs on I propose, in order:
Decision-making, Accuracy, Leadership, Arm Strength
Decision-making is a fairly broad category that includes the ability to recognize a defense and adjust accordingly (thus increasing the number of possibly acceptable decisions), ability to progress to your next read (thus increasing the number of decisions available), and actually deciding to execute the correct decision.
The other characteristics should be fairly obvious.
I guess this could be simplified to: Mental ability to make the appropriate play and Physical ability to make the appropriate play. I'm just noodling here. Am I missing anything?
How much of each category do CW and T-Jack have? How do we measure it? How mobile would that number be? Would that range have a ceiling? How can we tell? *sigh* I don't know if I have the wherewithal to dive into Football Outsiders, collect and watch tape, and formulate a thesis on this.
