And every position on a football team needs men who have these traits. All the talent in the world wont keep a guy in the NFL is he’s an idiot. Peyton Manning wasnt the best athlete when he was taken number one. About 50% of everyone thought Ryan Leaf was a better talent.

Sounds like the best way to be a good team is to draft from the Ivy League every year.

And I’m not saying a QB doesn’t need to be smart - that’s obvious. I’m saying there are different aspects to intelligence and the ability to recognize and process information EXTREMELY quickly is different than the intelligence necessary to maintain a high GPA. And there are other aspects as well. The ability to focus on what is important and tune out what isn’t is big as well. Again that has little to nothing to do with GPA. Teams use other tests to measure those traits.
