    Either these problems are correctable or Simms still thinks that he's in high school and he can throw the ball through defenders, and that his sheer arm strength will beat DBs.


    Leaf is a real head case, I agree. But he's got all the tools of a prototype drop back passer, and still failed. Simms may end up to be the same way. The point I was making with Fiedler, Grbac, Garcia, and Matthews is that the QB's with the best arms and physical skills aren't always winners. There are many more factors to succeeding as a QB in the NFL. Here's some high round busts in the NFL:
    Andre Ware
    David Klingler
    Akili Smith
    Cade McNown
    Ryan Leaf
    Danny Wuerrfel
    All these guys suck or sucked in the NFL.

    As for the little guys, here's a few more:
    Aaron Brooks
    Scott Hasselbeck
    Brad Johnson
    Doug Flutie
    Charlie Batch
    Tom Brady
    Alex Van Pelt
    All of these guys are starting even though they have less than stellar "prototypical QB" qualties.
