Someone with an above average IQ

I don't think IQ is the quality that I am looking for...football IQ is what is needed. You can have all the physical tools in the world and be a terrible QB.

JJ has some physical gifts, but no feel for football: poor pocket presence, no ability to anticipate when a receiver will come open, poor vision when trying to run the football, poor feel for game situations, slow decision making, etc.

There are a lot of qualities that a QB needs that cannot be measured with a stopwatch of a speedgun. The biggest one of all is the ability to lead the team, especially under pressure.

A high IQ can certainly be helpful, but football IQ is required.
