Honestly, I went back and forth on the three quite a bit because Jimbo is such a hard read with his QBs. In the end, I went with the athleticism just slightly over the intangibles. I believe Jimbo thinks football IQ is teachable enough if the players are just willing to be coached. So what is the "it" factor he speaks so highly of in his pressers?! I'm willing to bet, if pressed, Jimbo would say the game is still a measure of physical ability first, followed closely by how it is applied on the field.
I myself believe, "While you have to love ball to be great, you have to be a baller, first and foremost." That's why I think athleticism comes first as well.
