Many of the so-called draft "experts" pride themselves in assessing a quarterbacks "raw skills". Unfortunately, more often than not, raw skills don't always translate at the next level. A quarterback that can throw the ball through a brick building is useless if he can't figure out what brick building to hit, and the guy with pinpoint accuracy might not be able to get it there in time because he tried to force it into coverage or didn't have the arm strength to get it there before the defender was able to make a play on the ball.
The most important measure of a quarterback, and sometimes the hardest to gauge, is his intangibles. Is he a leader? Was he able to win with very little supporting cast? Does he make intelligent decisions on and off the field? Does he show poise under pressure? How does he perform on the biggest stage? It is from these guidlines that I begin my assessment and work backwards. Each quarterback will be assessed on a scale of 1-20 in 5 different categories ultimately adding up to 100 which will be the quarterback's overall grade
