The QB position in the NFL requires an ability to process information/ make a determination swiftly and efficiently then make an athletic throw with accuracy while under pressure.
How a QB performs behind center in the NFL is the best test available in my humble opinion Doc.
I realize the NFL has evolved over the years making it harder to make a fair determination.
What puts Brady a little higher in my mind is his ability to operate at such a high level with average for the most part players on the receiving end of Tom Bradys passes.
The guy makes everyone around him better and has continued to do so throughout his career.
My vote goes for Tom Brady as the greatest QB all time.
thanks OP
Does anyone think its possible that failed coaching/systems may have played a role in E J Manuels failure to develop into an NFL QB.
Why can 2nd or 3rd string QB's win football games behind center for the Patriots?
How well do the same QB's do elsewhere?
As O's and D's become more complex low wonderlic scores become more of a red flag for coaches/GM's when evaluating QB prospects IMO.
Tyrod Taylors low wonderlic score is offset by the elite skill set he exhibits and its very possible a more user friendly system in this case the West Coast O and innovative coaching may help Taylor/Bills overcome the obstacle in my humble opinion.
thanks OP for the interesting topic
Peyton Manning scored 28, brother Eli 39, how did that translate onto the football field?
Cam Newton scored 21, about the league player average. Does Cam struggle reading Defenses or running the Panther Offense? In my opinion, no
Middle ground is reached when two sides of a discussion come together in a civilized manner in my humble opinion.
We all don't have to agree on everything,
just get along while debating it...
Playing the Pats twice a season, then a 3rd time in all likelihood to win a championship is a tall order for any team in the NFL.
On the other hand its a New Era in Buffalo,
with a new sheriff in town,
goes by the name McDermott...
With all due respect Wilcoam,
I'm much more confident/excited with McDermott and Co then I ever came close to being with the circus act the Ryan brothers brought to Buffalo.
