With the inevitable comparisons between the four QBs taken in the first round, this might be an interesting topic for discussion. What factors are most important in determining the ultimate success in a QB's career?
We've already heard about the guy who predicted that Eli Manning won't be as successful as his older brother because he doesn't have the ideal personality type according to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test (and incidently the same guy predicted Ryan Leaf would flop).
We've also heard that Losman has the best measurables (arm strength, 40 time, quickest release) of the four. And we've heard a comparison of the situations in which the 4 QBs find themselves.
In theory, Losman has the best situation because he is not under pressure to start early, has a mature QB (without big ego issues) to mentor him, and presumably the strongest coaching situation with Mularkey, Clements, and Wyche all having experience in helping QBs succeed.
Can a great situation and solid coaching make the difference between success and failure for a QB? Is aptitude more important than measurables? Are you optimistic that Losman can have a great career even though he was not the highest rated QB in the draft. Can the situation here overcome any shortcomings he might have in comparison with the other three?
