Fatal flaw in QB play

[threebag]

Having the intellectual aptitude to read and react to defense is far superior to arm strength. The strongest arm on the field really doesn't mean shit when half of his/her passes are equivilant to punts.

1. Confidence
2. Accuracy
3. Work ethic

You can't teach any of those.

I think confidence aND work ethic can be, not taught but maybe incorporated for lack of better term?

Confidence comes from success, success comes from prep, so it's hand in hand I guess.

If you're having to teach those things to a 22 year old than you're screwed

True.

But guys aren't making it to the nfl without confidence and work ethic.

Amen. For number 4: I would have to add discipline/demeanor (on/off the field)

Wilson, Rodgers, Smith, Manning all had these qualities in their college days. unfortunately for Smith, he got thrown into the shit storm known as san francisco and had an entire fan base against him which destroyed his confidence as it would have to any other QB. Now he's got his mojo back.
