Fatal flaw in QB play

[O.city]

Slow day here, let's drive some conversation.

With the Rams moving up for a qb and these young qbs coming into the league taking over for the old guard, I think there are some interesting questions to be asked.

When looking at qb prospects, which "flaws" that they might have do you consider fatal?

So now you may ask, "o.city, define fatal flaws". Well, to me, it's inconsistencies that can't be learned or corrected.

The biggest one to me for a young qb, is accuracy issues. I feel too much of that is an innate thing that either you have or you dont and I consider qbs who struggle with accuracy to have a fatal flaw.

So, which flaws do you consider fatal?

1. accuracy, you either have NFL accuracy or you don't.
2. reading the defense/intelligence. Walking up to the line like Peyton did and being able to tell you what the defense was and where to attack before he had the ball snapped 99% of the time is a extremely rare gift that was developed thru years of film study. As much as I disliked him I respected his ability to do this.
3. being a good teammate/person. Players don't excel in the NFL without help from teammates whether it's a receiver that lays out to get the tuff throw or the guard who chips the guy next to him and so on. You don't get the last 5% of someone giving "110%" if you're an azzhole and that is the difference between good and elite or elite and great.

Attitude and work ethic can make up for a comparative lesser amount of talent in the NFL. The NFL draft is littered with 1st round picks that had a tremendous amount of talent but bad habits when it came to work ethic and attitude.

The great ones are those that had great talent and great work ethic and attitude.
