There was a topic on this years ago and I remember someone asking the age old question of how do you get an elite QB?
Everyone bashed the poster with their own opinions, because he was in for trading for Jay Cutler.
One poster proved his point with a simple answer, of which always stuck with me, "You start by finding one that wants to win and never lose."
Tom Brady is Tom Brady because he invests his time in planning, executing, learning how to evolve his game to be one step ahead of the rest.
