Assuming the QB is smart and accurate, I definitely prefer the guy with touch. Brady and Peyton don't have good arms, but they still dominate.
Brady has been awful on throws over 20 yards for several years now, but NE has a great system that gets a lot of guys open. Brady has mastered the system and makes great reads and has great accuracy. Guys with cannon arms are fun to watch, but it's far from necessary and quite frankly I think it's the most overrated QB attribute by far.
1A. Intelligence, decision making ability
1B. Accuracy/consistent mechanics
2. Pocket presence
3. Command of the huddle/leadership
4. Arm strength

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
