According to Brandt, the perfect QB would have:

- The accuracy of Aaron Rogers (no argument here)

- The toughness of Ben Roethlisberger (I think Cam could be in the argument here, but I'll let Brandt have this one)

- The mental quickness of Peyton Manning (no argument)

- The leadership ability of Tom Brady (no argument, though Brady doesn't get near enough criticism for being the dick that he is)

- The athleticism of Cam Newton (*ding*!)

- The touch of Drew Brees (I agree, Brees looks like the type who likes to touch things)

- The arm of Matthew Stafford (Cam again could be in the argument here, but I won't disagree)

- The running ability of Russell Wilson (Wilson is a good runner, but I wholeheartedly disagree here... Cam has and is breaking records for a QB running the ball, Wilson has/is not)

- The competitiveness of Andrew Luck (a sop category to get the QB Man-God in the conversation, IMO... I don't think Luck is any more "competitive" than any other QB, especially top ones)

Whenever I try to bring up that Cam is a better runner than Wilson I get non stop poo. I really hate Raleigh sometimes.

Wilson is probably deemed the better runner because of the spots and times he chooses to run.  Cam, otoh is forced to run/fall down bc of our horrid OL.  As far as raw ability, def. Cam.

Cam is the perfect QB.  The world just hasn't realized it yet.

I think when he said running ability he actually meant the ability to move in the pocket. Russell slips out of danger so many times because of his movement ability. Not saying Cam doesn't, but that is one area where Russell really stands out.

I think Flacco has better arm strength than Cam and Statpadford.

I would have taken the competitiveness of Philip Rivers over Andrew Luck.

Dude played a playoff game on a torn ACL because "fug that, I need to play". Plus he talks a lot of poo for a QB.

Come down to Durham, we can actually have a football conversation and it won't be full of retardedness.  

[Mr. Scot]

Roethlisberger's best quality is his persistence.

That guy just won't take 'no' for an answer.

I've used that joke on several Steeler fans.

Their reaction is generally a little stronger and slightly more negative.

I would say that Wilson is a little better at using his legs to escape rushers because he is a little smaller and and has a quicker first step.  Cam is certainly better when it comes to designed runs, and running through or over defenders. 

[Mr. Scot]

Speaking of Drew...

“We look at our personnel and we say ‘How can we put our guys in the best positions to succeed according to their strengths?'” Brees said. “We’ve been a top-five rushing offense before. We’ve been able to hurt you down the field with our wideouts, we’ve been able to hurt you underneath with running backs and tight ends, so I feel like we have all those components. And when you have all those, you’re dangerous. You’re hard to defend. There’s just too many things to worry about.”

Drew Brees thinks opposing defenses will have “too many things to think about” this season
