Favre.

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.

I dont think any of those traits are teachable either really. You either got it or you dont.

Gotta be able to read defenses pre snap eventually & I do think that's teachable.

A really strong arm & a quick release aren't a necessity but they really do help as we see. Mobility to get out of the pocket and/or run is also helpful but also not a necessity as we've seen with countless pocket QBs.

And obviously durability, intelligence, work ethic, leadership skills & the desire to be great are a must.
