I know it's a mechanical no-no, but I think it really boils down to the savvy and athletism of the quarterback.

Agreed. Among the guys you named, Bret Favre also made a career from throwing off his back foot. An extremely talented quarterback can make nice throws off of their back foot. The problem is, most of Brunell's natural talent left him four years ago.
