big toe...if you don't have a strong big toe to push off of...all the rest is moot.

Ryan Leaf had all the tangibles, and he failed miserably. Michael Vick is a phenominal athlete who was a lot of fun to watch- but dumb as a rat, and displayed very little leadership.
Terry Bradshaw was a leader, but not a super-sound technician with all the tangible qualities. Joe Montana same-same. Lenny Dawson was a re-tread who didn't live up to his #1 draft status until he caught on as the leader of the new Texans/Chiefs franchise.
Bottom line, when its 4th QTR, and you're down by 4 points with two minutes to go, the dudes in the huddle want to look into the eyes of a poised and confident leader that they believe in.

and that sure wasnt Bledsoe, Mecca.

Super Bowl 36

Bledsoe: Im ready coach, can I go in?

Belichick: No

Bledsoe : Please, I want to!

Belichick : No

Bledsoe : But ive passed for all those yards

Belichick : No

Bledsoe: You are a liar.

Belichick : No

Bledsoe : Well im not going to go to the parade then. Hmmmph!

When Sanchez drops back he is like a chimp on xanax. Opposing D's don't know what to do. Will he throw it with pin-point accuracy 40 yards down the field? Will he look off the deep receiver and hit the middle pattern for some YAC? Will he simply place the football down and bite the hands and face off of the nearest defensive end? Nobody knows. That's why he's so dangerous.

USC is an overated program. They suck monkeys.

Deberg? He was money on play-action.

The right kind of shoes help too! :thumb:

Excellent question. Here are just a few of the things that I believe a great quarterback must have, Mr. MahiMike.

1. Lungs. The great quarterback must have lungs in order to take in the air used to bark out signals later.

2. Eyesight. The great quarterback must have eyesight. You will find very few great, blind quarterbacks.

3. Bald Arms. The great quarterback must have bald arms to minimize wind resistance when throwing the pass.

4. Razor. The great quarterback must have a razor in case his arms are not bald.

5. Big Feet. The great quarterback must have big feet so as not to topple over in the pocket.

6. Medium Sized Pecker. The great quarterback must have a medium sized pecker. No real reason, they just do.

7. Extra Underwear. The great quarterback must have extra underwear for emergency use after being knocked into next week by the great 330 pound defensive tackle.

8. Loves Dogs. The great quarterback loves dogs. But if he doesn't, the great quarterback must have really good friends who won't squeal to the cops.

9. Attached Ear Lobes. The great quarterback must have attached ear lobes so that, when donning the helmet, they don't flap over his ear canal preventing the great quarterback from hearing the signal calls.

10. Good Cell Service. The great quarterback must have good cell service in order to receive calls from his agent, mother, and Las Vegas bookie.

11. Fluid Hips. The great quarterback must have fluid hips to compensate for the great quarterback's medium-sized pecker.

Personally, I believe that intelligence, maturity, posie and composure all falll into the intangibles category.

All things that can't be quantified.

I think intangibles are far and away the most imprtant qualities.

Legs are far and away the least important.
