Physical comparisons don't mean much when you are talking QB position, by that I mean as far a how great or shitty a QB will be. This guy is so raw (only 13 starts) that there is no way to know what he will eventually be. That depends a lot on who he is as a person. How many people (including themselves) actually know they will react under pressure or how much they can improve? I have heard that he is a quick study who seems to understand what is going on on the football field. I am not sold on him but expect that our front office can figure it out.

The only measurement, IMO, that matters for an NFL QB exists in the 6 inches between his ears.

Drew Brees was too short.

Tom Brady was too unathletic.

Brett Farve was too inaccurate (best completion percentage in college was 55.8%!?!).

What made them superior franchise QBs was the 6 inches between their ears.

An NFL smart QB can make it work no matter what his roster or physical limitations.

I want the smartest QB of the group. Not the most physically gifted.

This from a recent mock draft analysis….4.0 good enough for you?

Selection (No. 4 overall): Will Levis, QB, Kentucky
Expert: Jason McIntyre, FOX Sports
Date of mock draft: February 13 (link)
Analysis: "He will rise during the draft process, despite a poor final month of stats with the Wildcats (6 TDs, 5 INTs, zero games over 215 passing yards). Above the shoulders, he's a big winner: Levis had a 4.0 high school GPA, graduated college in three years with a finance degree and was slated to compete his Master's degree in business in December with another 4.0. At 6-foot-3, 230 pounds, he's the most sturdy of the elite QBs in this draft."

There are plenty of smart people who can’t process information fast enough to be an NFL QB. GPA tells us very, very little.

I bet you there are more stupid people that can’t process the information fast enough!

I wouldn't be upset, mostly because I think the Colts could get him at 4 and not spend any draft capital to move up.

I would still rather have there other three though. Though not by much when it comes to Levis.

It tells you that they can learn. Take in a lot of information and act on it.
There was a qb for the colts who finished college football career after one year of graduate school.

Unitas was no Phi Betta Kappa. Book smart he wasn't but the man knew how to run a football team. I agree that it is almost all about the head. I am 5'8'. I could have the greatest head in the world and I still couldn't see shit and would get the crap beaten out of me. Size, arm strength matter. Luckily those can be measured. It the heart/head that people make the big bucks evaluating. The head is the hardest to evaluate therefore is the most important. You need both however, otherwise Manning would still be our QB.
