Attributes of elite quarterbacks

[Cain]

All elite quarterbacks in college or pros. Have these two attributes.

Number one they make quick decisions. they see things happen before anybody else sees things happen. They make quick decisions, the correct decisions, and know where to put the football.

Number two they’re accurate passers. are typically very accurate passers on all types of throws, over the middle, out on the side, down deep, crossing routes, fade routes, everything they’re very accurate in all types of situations.

You’ll notice I did not say they can run to 40 in 4.5 secs or less, I did not say they can bench press 450 pounds. I did not say they have a vertical leap of 44 inches.

Now withall above in mind, evaluate our current gamecock quarterback. Sadly he is slow to make decisions, then often makes bad ones. He is inaccurate on anything beyond 10 yds.

And they never played for SC.

another key attribute of elite qb's, they seldom hurt their own team, specifically with turnovers.

And they never played for SC.

not so fast, Conner Shaw was an elite qb for the Gamecocks. when he was our qb, I felt like our team could compete with just about anyone.

He made quick decisions and was accurate. So did Dylan Thompson.

Spencer Rattler was very similar, with more arm strength. But we ran different offenses with him v. Shaw/Thompson.

Your definition of elite is different than mine. Shaw, Thompson and Rattler were very good but not elite.

There’s only so many ELITE QB’s to go around and none of them are coming to Columbia, SC to play for the Gamecocks!
