I think Drew Brees probably fits that title too - guys who don't have the body or the gun to be a great quarterback but know how be a great executioner and cover their weaknesses.

Everyone who evaluates talent says he has a plus arm and he is very athletic as a runner. Especially for how big he is. I am not sure what he is at the next level, but he is no Drew Brees. Brees was undersized and underarmed. Luck is neither of those things and is a better athlete. I also highly doubt he is Drew Brees in the head. If he is he'll be the best QB in the NFL. Brees almost is with half the tools.

Well I, for one, am glad we lost to the Colts.

We aren't going ANYWHERE in the playoffs with Yates, but at least we made it that much more difficult for the Colts to get Luck in the draft. I think he's better than anybody we currently have at the QB position. The last place I'd like to see him go to is to the Colts, who we've never beaten on the road.
