Some guys have "it" and you can see it a mile away.  The first throw I saw Andrew Luck make (on the sidelines before the spring game), I thought "Holy crap, he's going to be amazing".  Others seem to have it, but then melt down in games.  Others are pretty unassuming in practices, but you put them into a game, and you realize that something clicks in a game.  Hogan was kind of like that.  Didn't give much of a vibe until he was under center.

That being said, one look at West under center at the UCLA game two years ago, and he looked like a dear in the headlights.  Sure, even a really good QB like Trent Edwards was ineffective without an offensive line that could block for him, but at least Edwards didn't look hopeless and helpless.

I totally agree.  On demeanor, West does not inspire confidence.  I try to look past it, assuming its prejudice on my part, but his body language reminds me of the teenage son, Ben Henrickson, on "Big Love".
