The NFL is notorious for acting based on a QB having "the tools". Sorsby supposedly can physically do everything a QB needs to do very well. The thought is that these are things that can't be taught. How far you can throw a football, how quick your feet are etc. is considered a natural gift. You have it or you don't. Very few humans have all the skills, or even most of them. Of course, the ability to determine on any given play exactly which skills are relevant and exactly how to use them is also necessary. The theory is those skills can be taught. Sorsby supposedly has all the tools. It is a rare enough find that some NFL personnel directors may be willing to take a chance on character, intellectual ability and reading the field. It is at best risky.

Everyone wants the next Josh Allen.  No one cares for the next Mitch Trubisky, Jamarcus Russell, Vince Young, Zach Wilson, Trey Lance...but of course, no one wants to bet on the Brock Purdys of the world either.
