I would agree with all the traits listed above other than raw intelligence. A quarterback does need to be "football smart," however. Terry Bradshaw won 4 Super Bowls and will never be mistaken for a rocket scientist, but he had enough "football smarts" to become a Hall of Famer.

I would add one more quality to the list and that is toughness. This is Blake's best quality by far. Regardless of how talented a quarterback may be, if he can't be counted on to stay on the field and not miss many games he is worthless. Unfortunately for Blake, he is greatly lacking in the other areas- especially mental processing and poise while under pressure. That is why the Jaguars' top priority in the off-season will be to find someone new at this most critical position.
