when looking at young QB's. I'm much more interested in seeing how they are playing if that makes any sense. Eli came in the league at a different time and played murderers row in his first season, but to me you could clearly see he had it when everyone was screaming bust. Just needed to speed up his decision making process.
like Cosell said, he really does turn his head quickly after the play action fake to see what's going on downfield. I remember Steve Young once saying in an interview that that skill was an underrated complexity... processing what transpired on the field while you had your back turned during the play action fake.

Did you notice Eli not doing this on his first play as one of the TEs had a free release? As a result he was late recognizing it and had to throw the 3 yard dump off.
btw - the oline did nice job on all those plays...
