On pure physical tools, he's up there with Jamarcus Russell, who was a freak and ended up as the #1 overall pick, even though he had the "inconsistent" label throughout his college career. He hasn't done great yet, but I still think he'll end up being a very good QB in this league if he gets more protection. But obviously, this shows that tools and athleticism win out in the eyes of scouts.

I know that most scouts are going to go with tools, but I think there is a clear difference in the ability that Stafford has shown to play the position opposed to Freeman. Other than 2 inches of height, there isn't anything you look for in a QB that Freeman does better than Stafford. Stafford is more than mobile enough, so that's a non-issue.
