1. Football I.Q.- Someone read a defense, scan the field quickly, make a decision and find the open receivers. This is without a doubt, the most important and most difficult thing for a young QB to process, especially when the speed of the NFL is much faster than in college.

2. Accuracy- This is something you really can't teach. You either have an accurate arm or you don't, but if you don't, you won't last long in the NFL. If you have a QB with football intelligence and accuracy, I believe you have a pretty good shot at drafting a winner.

3. Durability- This is one of the most overlooked qualities. What good is the best QB in the world, if he's hurt all the time? I want a guy who is tough and whose body is able to hold up against 270 lb. linebackers knocking you over. He also cannot be afraid to get hit. I want a guy like Peyton Manning was. He was a QB who showed no fear, standing in the pocket as long as possible, knowing he was probably gonna get hit, but just when defenders were breathing down his back, he'd get rid of the ball at the last second and deliver a strike.

4. Leadership- I want a guy leading the huddle who other players want to rally around. they don't have to necessarily like him, but they must respect him and want to play with him. We don't need any Jay Cutler types in our locker room.
