Agreed. To me, you look at those guys you list (Howard, Fields, Broyld) and I don't think it was ever an athleticism/talent issue.
Fields played briefly at another position in the NFL - that tells you all you need to know about his physical ability.

The question with most of our QBs since McNabb has been do they have the mental makeup to handle the position?

How do you react to a 3rd and 15 in your own territory in a hostile environment? Do you have the ability to put your team in the right position to succeed based on an audible at the line of scrimmage or a timely throw away when nobody is open?

Look at the list of QBs we have had since #5 and it's been either they don't have the mental makeup to succeed, or they have had the mental makeup but lacked the physical ability (Nunes, Long at this point in his career, etc.). Or some have lacked both, sadly. Nassib is the one exception, specifically his senior year.

Hoping that Dungey and/or Womack have both and can help lead this team to the promised land.
