What is it you think is the most important qualities of a franchise QB? I think these things are all very important but the most important to me is something that cant be measured instincts . Instincts being able to know when & where & how in a split second . Edited May 3, 2018 by NastyNateSoldiers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 It is accuracy, especially intermediate range accuracy. When you strip away everything else away from all the great ones that is the biggest single commonality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I want them to work harder than the guys next to him, film study - extra reps - weight room etc. I want him to have that moxie and swagger that is just infectious... you're never out of a game with this guy. I don't want there to be any inherent weaknesses to his game. It makes you so much harder to gameplan for when you can do a little bit of everything.

Bills757 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 (edited) A QB can have a ton of positive traits, but it's still a team game. If the Oline isn't good, the vast majority of QB's will struggle. If the WR corps is hurt/hobbled, it hurts the QB. Same goes for the RB group. If the OC's scheme doesn't incorporate accentuating the QB's strengths, the QB struggles. This has been the Bills the last few years. By drafting Allen, McD and Beane are embarking on building THEIR team. Is Allen a risk? Of course he is as most first round QB's are every year. I give credit to Beane for shoring up other areas of the team, namely the Oline and LB's. It'll be interesting how they handle Allen this year. Does he start? Or will they bring him along slower? The likely bet, of course, is that he starts for two reasons 1) he was a first rounder and 2) who else do they have? God help Allen though if he struggles (and he will to a certain extent). This board will have a melt down of epic proportions calling for McD and Beane to be fired before Christmas.

What is it you think is the most important qualities of a franchise QB? All of these. With regard to decision making, I'll specify: when to run, when to slide, when to get out of bounds and when to throw the ball away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart able to read Defense Size & strength are highly overrated ...sure are....need to have a kid that makes the passing game a viable threat every week....how the hell do you game plan if it is a limp noodle?.....opposition having eight in the box with folding chairs is a feared passing game?......Daboll needs the flexibility of 60/40 or 40/60 depending on what the defense gives him...sure as hell would be nice if down by 7, 2:28 to go in the 4th, that I can depend on the guy executing the two minute drill to tie this bad boy up......sure the TBD pundits say the WR corp sucks, but they were regularly INACTIVE on Sundays.....growin' mold I think....

With awesome beard, plays with his wedding ring on, and has great neighborhood parties. Also, accurate, strong arm, doesn’t throw red zone interceptions when the game is close and time is running out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
