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
This is the way I see it too. Only in a few situations does arm strength really come into play. One of those happens to be in the red zone though as the windows become tighter and those touch passes are low % completions. I'll take a QB with decision making skills and accuracy over just about anything else.
To each his own... unless you belong to a political party...
