I guess for my $$ the most important aspect= Leadership. Take charge of the huddle and as one of, if not THE most high profile player, set the tone for the team.
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.
