The only things that make you elite are accuracy and playoff success. The fact that literally everyone didn’t select playoff success is laughable. Cuz I sure can’t name a bunch of elite QBs sitting at home in January |

Favre has a very high football IQ. Sometimes he let his bravado get the better of that but he’s not football-dumb.

And by the way, I didn’t vote playoff success because that’s not a quality a player possesses, it’s a proof point that said player possesses certain qualities.
This poll is flawed because it contains both inputs and outputs. |

Arm strength is what separates Mahomes from being great and being legendary. I think he’d still be elite if he had like, merely a very good arm.
I think understanding defenses/playbooks and also your own limitations is more important than raw arm strength. Peyton Manning threw wobblers his whole career but he could dissect a defense like a science experiment. Now, if you have an arm like Smith or Pennington? You can still be good but you’ll never be elite. |
