There's so much variation. Favre wasn't a film guy, but was great. Lots of great QB's are not mobile.
As far as I can tell there's only 3 traits required of a great QB. Three traits that ALL of them have.
1. Accuracy. Pretty self explanatory.
2. Toughness. Guys who panic in the pocket or won't play through pain can't be great.
3. Better than average arm strength. If you can't make all the NFL throws, you can't be great.
It's really the combination of traits that make a QB great. The more positive traits he accumulates, the more successful he'll probably be. Things like immobility can be compensated for with film study. You can't compensate for the 3 things I mentioned. If you don't have them, you can't simply compensate with other skills. You HAVE to have those 3 things.
