Grier talks quarterbacks, coaches and draft

Q. How do you personally weigh arm strength, mobility and things like that versus intangibles like presence and leadership skills when it comes to quarterbacks?

Chris Grier: I think when you’re talking about the quarterback position, a lot of the intangibles are what separates a lot of guys because you hear stories now even when they talk about ... like they said Tom Brady coming out didn’t have great arm strength or Drew Brees. But those guys are some of the all-time best to ever play the game. You look at everything, everyone’s skill set at the end of the day. Do they win games? Are they leaders? Are they football smart? The intangibles, the character and stuff plays a big part at that position but also at any position.

Editor’s Take: The answer is you obviously want a quarterback with everything — physical traits and great intangibles. Duh! If you have to prioritize, give me football smarts and moxie (the “it” factor, if you will) over pure athletic ability, though there obviously are minimum requirements there.

Q. You got to see QB Tua Tagovailoa in person at least once. We know you were at the LSU game. What were your thoughts on him from purely a football standpoint, not taking into account the health, but the way he throws the football and runs an offense?
