I was half kidding and that's what I was getting at with my post. You look at Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger and Jay Cutler in the nfl. Not the fastest or most athletic guys but they are smart runners and no how to be mobile. So he might have good speed and all but doesn't know how to use it out of the qb position.

These are from @brianstumpfespn tweets and the overall estimate is only a ranking average of the top five.  The "overall estimate" would not necessarily reflect the overall performers (eg that might be ranked 6 in every category).

While initially amusing, this is kind of annoying.  Couldn't they come up with some way to get some quality WRs to come to this gig?  Hopefullly they are only judging the QBs' accuracy on whether or not they got the ball to the target and not on actual receptions, o/w the hard throwers will be at a disadvantage.

I don't think so.  In the video I watched of earlier Elite11s, there were a few reps where the pass was on but the WR dropped it, and Dilfer still congratulated the quarterback on a good throw.
