The Jacksonville Jaguars held a Fan Forum event on Tuesday night, which allowed fans to ask questions to head coach Gus Bradley and general manager Dave Caldwell. A lot of the fan questions naturally centered around the NFL Draft and the quarterback position.
Caldwell gave a little bit of insight into what attributes he looks for in a quarterback when evaluating them.
"Anticipation, decision making and accuracy." Dave on what he looks for in a QB. Says spread systems don’t show this enough in college.

Pocket passer or dynamic, moving QB? "For sustainability, #1 thing is to win with their arm. Pocket passer + some mobility ideal." -Dave

Personally from what I've watched, three players stick out to me possessing these attributes. Louisville's Teddy Bridgewater, Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel and San Jose State's David Fales.
Speaking of Bridgewater, Caldwell was asked directly about him.
I asked the Teddy question. Dave said he has 3 attributes he mentioned earlier, bit light in frame to withstand 16 games. Viable prospect.

Dave said because Teddy is a junior, they haven’t been able to speak with him yet. Need to see what "makes him tick."

Could mean something, could be nothing but it's interesting to see the three attributes Caldwell noted that he looked for specifically.
