Brodie also is a great passer, but I don't see the instincts of a PP quarterback there.
I don't think it is a coincidence that the PP has looked better recently with the addition of Tkachuk (cycle machine), and Giordano (much more experience than Brodie). The Right hand shot is an issue, and so is the lack of movement and variety of threats. And right now confidence is a huge issue.

I really hope we are able to sign Adam Fox. He looks like he could be that PP quarterback we need.
