The other stuff is nice, but being able to deliver the ball to targets with accuracy and strength are must haves for me.
Shouldn't accuracy be a given for an NFL quarterback? It's like being able to field grounders for a shortstop or third baseman. They must be able to do that. I would expect a certain level of accuracy, but you can be the most accurate, and have the strongest arm, and still throw it accurately to the opposing team. Jamarcus Russell had great arm strength.

What separates good QBs from the bad is their decision making. Where to go with the ball. Accuracy is very important if all else is considered equal. Arm strength is a luxury. That's what I've noticed.
