Chiefs What are your qualifying factors for QB excellence?

Fast reads
Multiple reads
Strong arm
Ability to recognize defenses and audible
Pocket presence and ability to evade rush without scrambling
Good runner when opportunity presents itself
Respected team leader (or even feared team leader, but respected is better)
Recognizes game situations re: spiking, time outs, throwing checkdowns, etc.
Accurate, hits receivers in numbers and in stride
Good with passing speed, i.e., doesn't throw 100 mph ball at a guy 5 yards away
Good lead blocker when needed (that's for Trent and now for Matt)
Improves in pressure situations (or at least doesn't panic)

All of those = Hall of Fame. Most of those = good QB.
