An example would be Montana. Apparent average physical talent for an NFL quarterback, but you watched him for a while and you knew he was really good. To me, Costello seems to have the look of a pretty good quarterback, but I'm not completely able to say why. I think situational awareness has something to do with it. This certainly was a strength for Hogan. This is based on very limited observation, but so far I like what I see.
Careful when you start mentioning intangibles for quarterbacks. According to the thread on Rosen, none of us are qualified to comment on those things.
(I think you're spot on, but don't tell anyone.)
Free Phogge!!!! And no, crimson doesn't refer to the Tide.
