Design the perfect quarterback

Arm Strength - I will say Favre
Accuracy - Brees
Legs - Vick
Vision - Brady
Toughness - Favre
Leadership - Brady

Hard to argue any of your picks.


Arm Strength - Self explanatory. Do they have a gun to get the ball there quickly?

- Has to be Elway

Accuracy / Touch - Also self explanatory. Can they fit the ball in the perfect spot while the receiver is being double-covered? And are they able to take something off the fastball when appropriate?

- Brees or Brady. Brady has a knack for putting the ball where only his receiver can get it and not getting him killed in the process. Hard to argue against Brees in this category, though.

Legs / Scrambling Ability - Can they move out of the pocket when needed and can they also get a first down by running?

- Brady. Kidding, I'll go Vick, though you should also give Elway consideration here.

Vision / Intelligence - Can they see the whole field, dissect a defense, call a timely audible, make quick decisions?

- Manning or Brady, though Manning's ability to do this seem to drop off a cliff in the playoffs.

Toughness - Can they take a hit and get back up or do they end up on IR when a D-Lineman looks at them funny?

- Favre, no contest. Played in a million straight games. Even if he was drunk and on 17 different pain killers at the time, he was out there.

Leadership / Intangibles - Harder for those of us not in the locker room to always determine, but are they a leader? How are they in the clutch? Do they whine about refs and make excuses and throw teammates and coaches under the bus or do they find ways to win?

-Brady all day, every day. His work ethic and willingness to be called out by Belichick has set the tone for that locker room for almost 20 years. 'The Patriot Way' doesn't work with a prima donna QB. On the field, his team BELIEVES they can win when he's out there. Gronk was practically in tears talking about Brady in a press conference once. Hell, the other team even openly fears him. See: that classic mic'd up bit from Super Bowl LI when the Falcons are blowing out the Patriots and one player is bragging about it on the sidelines while his teammate replies, "They got Tom Brady though."

Also maybe this goes under intangibles but another category that Brady excels in is operating under adverse conditions. Nobody in history is more consistent in wind, rain and snow. Honorable mention in that category would probably be Favre. Ironic that a guy from California and a guy from Mississippi would be so adept at navigating cold, sleet and snow.
