Which QB traits are most important to you

[SUPERSEE]

With the Giants in the QB market, I have been reading scouting reports on QBs.  The reality is there is no perfect quarterback prospect; it often comes down to what one values in a quarterback.   With that being the case, what do you consider the most important traits in a quarterback prospect?



Being a successful NFL quarterback requires a unique combination of physical, mental, and emotional attributes. Here are some of the key traits:

Arm Strength/Arm talent: The ability to make all the throws on the field is crucial. This includes deep passes, tight-window throws, and passes with velocity.

Accuracy: Precision in throwing is critical. This means putting the ball where only the receiver can get it, and consistently hitting targets in stride.

Decision Making/Processing speed: A quarterback must quickly assess the defense, understand his offensive scheme, and make the right decisions in a matter of seconds.

Reading Defenses: Understanding defensive alignments and strategies is key to anticipating what the defense will do after the snap.

Mobility and Pocket Presence: The ability to move well in the pocket to avoid pressure, extend plays, and sometimes gain yards with their legs is increasingly important.

Leadership: Quarterbacks are often the leaders of their teams. They need to command respect, motivate teammates, and maintain composure in high-pressure situations.

Work Ethic and Preparation: Studying game film, learning the playbook, and preparing for various game situations are vital parts of being an NFL quarterback.

Resilience and Mental Toughness: The ability to bounce back from mistakes, endure physical hits, and handle the pressure of high-stakes situations is essential.

Situational Awareness: Understanding the context of the game, like down, distance, score, and time remaining, to make smart plays.

Communication Skills: Effectively communicating with coaches, teammates, and executing the play call in a loud, high-pressure environment.

Field of vision including and especially peripheral and lightning fast mental processing speed to breakdown what you see into what to do.

That solves finding other open WRs after 1st option, where pressure is coming from to sack him, etc.
