Would the type of QB etc you have not depend on the player you have? e.g. if you have Manning you have a field general pocket passer type of QB and you have RG3 you have a mobile passer etc?
Yes, it would be fundamental in the QB position and that's why the interconnecting pieces around the QB and overall scheme are so crucial.

Off the top of my head:
Strong arm/tools - Flacco, Cutler
Speed/mobile - RGIII, Newton, Kaepernick
Pure passer - Brees, Brady
Field general -the Mannings, Rivers

The more versatile QBs that come to mind are guys like Luck, Rodgers, Russell Wilson and Roethlisberger who have elements of strong arm, elusiveness, accuracy, speed and field general attributes.

If you selected Peyton Manning as a mobile/speed QB it would be like choosing John Terry as a winger in FM. There could be an element of building around a franchise player so the Broncos would need to built around a field general/pocket passing QB, Vikings around using the pass to set up the run for AP, the Lions would want to get the best out of Calvin Johnson so adapting the franchise to his role would be crucial.
