This was from a few years ago, but thought it was interesting. Link below but here they are:
1. He must be a senior, because you need time and maturity to develop into a good professional quarterback.
2. He must be a graduate, because you want someone who takes his responsibilities seriously.
3. He must be a three-year starter, because you need to make sure his success wasn’t ephemeral and that he has lived as “the guy” for some period of time.
4. He must have at least 23 wins, because the big passing numbers must come in the context of winning games.

...arguably the greatest QB in NFL history.
Simms was there before Parcells took over.
Also a shorter schedule, 10 or 11 games as opposed to 12.
he drafted one QB who had any measure of success while a coach or GM/exec and it was Bledsoe with the #1 overall pick and he complained during that HC stint they weren't letting him shop for the groceries so not sure he was even responsible for that pick or to what extent.

Joe Montana as well I believe

How does Hostetler measure up to these requirements?
When Parcells drafted Bledsoe # 1 overall it was all him. James Orthwein owned the team then, not Kraft. The "groceries" quote came after Kraft owned the team and they forced him to take Terry Glenn. He wanted to trade down and take Tony Brackens, who became a damn good DE with JAX.
It can't be a very impressive list.

stuff like Chad Henne and Pat White.

Bledsoe and Chad Pennington the 2 best. He developed Romo (along with Sean Payton) as UDFA from Eastern Illinois.
I think you look at the track record firstly,especially with and without surrounding talent. That gives you a feel of what he can/ can't do both from in front or from behind.
Obviously beside the 4 are the intangibles.
As mentioned above, he was de facto GM in NE until Kraft bought the team and did draft Bledsoe.
Phil Simms played for "Homecoming opponent " Moorehead St. Then on the reverse side you had all the Florida quarterbacks who won for Spurrier. W-L record is relative .
That conference has a very shabby conference, especially if you throw at Aikman, who left for UCLA.
Uh- Marino easily won over 23 games at Pitt. Probably between 30-35 as a starter.
It's why you don't make lists.......lol

Romo
Hoss won a SB. Credit to BP or GY?

for the 5th time. And Pennington wasn't bad either. Romo was a UDFA

GY ran the draft. Bill had input, but GY made the final call.
Might straighten out guys like Hernandez and others from entering the league with negative baggage, criminal records and poor credentials.
1. Assume that they want to put no thought into much of anything, so boil every situation down to four simple rules...or fewer if you can put time and effort into doing so
2. Realize that because of rule (1) they have written five different variations of tomorrow's headlines today, and so the trick is just really leading them to the headline that they've already written
3. The demand for intelligent and meaningful news exceeds the actual supply of either, so feel free to create story lines that sound exciting, but have no actual bearing on reality
4. The press has convinced themselves that the role of the press is to comfort the afflicted while simultaneously afflicting the comforted...which means they are going to do nothing all day but dream up plausible but idiotic story lines to stir up garbage and pay sponsors...so when in doubt, send Pat Hanlon in to call it for what it is and set the record straight
It can't be a very impressive list.
