i wouldn't argue that long throws make the QB, but i woudl argue that you can't enjoy sustained sucess without it...what is mcnabb doing these days? manning? any of the other elite qbs?

As a quarterback with smaller receivers, you can't just throw the ball up for grabs. Those guys have to get open, create separation. They haven't been able to do that for the most part yet.
