So, I agree with most if not all of the qualities you've listed above. While he's not Manning or Brady, he's still damn good. It's just at this point in his career, he wouldn't be my choice.
I'd be looking for a little bit young guy, with more of a prototypical frame to withstand the abuse that what would almost certainly be a complete shit O-line would hand out.

Brees is a excellent QB whose skills would translate to pretty much any team/system. Your earlier point about taking Big Ben to start a team is kind of shaky to me. Yes, he is a proven. Yes, he has two rings. However, that D in Pitt is always tough (O-Line also) and they have a strong tradition. Outstanding player in many ways who is on the right team. Throw him on some team that needs to rack up the passing stats to stay in games and he wouldn't do quite as well IMO. I know this is an old thread and I didn't read all of it....the bottom line is that Allen is long gone and wanted it that way.
