Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 872664">Here's something I've mentioned a couple of times.Before Gruden went to Oakland, he'd do pre-draft shows where he'd take some of the better QB prospects through their paces.  He'd put them in front of a grease board with the offensive and defensive alignments drawn up and ask the QBs to go through their pre-snap and post-snap reads.  Mahomes at that board was a "wow" moment.  He ripped through those reads so fast Gruden wasn't keeping up.  Everything he does is very fast, talks very fast, analyzes very fast, processes the field very fast in once-in-a-generation fashion.Reading and processing the field fast is the most important QB trait, more than athleticism or arm strength once those latter traits reach NFL acceptable.  Mahomes had all of that.  Going in for arm strength and athleticism and hoping the rest will catch up is not a successful formula for fashioning a franchise QB.</blockquote>
