Why the NFL Has a Quarterback Crisis

If current trends continue, NFL insiders say, quarterbacks who have the sophistication to outfox NFL defenses to deliver the ball to open receivers are “going to be on the endangered species list,” said Cleveland Browns coach Mike Pettine. “The quarterback may not be gone yet,” he added, “but if you have one, protect it.”

“It’s doomsday if we don’t adapt and evolve,” said St. Louis Rams general manager Les Snead.

Half of the 10 best QB Debuts in the history of the league have come since 2011. What are these people thinking?
Robert Griffin, Russell Wilson, Teddy Bridgewater, Cam Newton, and Mike Glennon.

A parade of general managers, like Pittsburgh’s Kevin Colbert, think that if the current model holds, the notion of drafting a quarterback to start right away will need to be scrapped.




Cleveland’s Farmer has one idea: What if you could design an offense to minimize the passing deficiencies of modern quarterback prospects?

you mean the spread offense?:russ:

Well there are some terrible quarterbacks in the league, a handful of average ones and the elite quarterbacks are a dime a dozen. Hence why the likes of Tannehill, Ryan, Stafford, Cutler etc have been paid big. There aren't many good quarterbacks around.

The position has more talent than it did say 15 years ago. Hell we have 5 guys active who are first ballot locks. Field of play was more even in the mid 90's to mid 2000's bc the overall quality at the position declined drastically.

The GMs in both nba and nfl just can't help themselves.

in the NFL they complain about the quality of their 1st rd draft picks. Well...if thats proven then don't draft those guys in the first round...if you get more out of an LT or WR, don't draft a scrambling qb early :dahell: OR, draft a pocket QB, they still exist in college. And if option QBs don't get drafted, prospects will REFUSE to BE on in college.

in the nba they complain about salaries and value..well..don't pay those guys the money...don't give "Max contracts" to guys with ZERO ASGs

keith price performed just as good as washington, not drafted :yeshrug:

you know exactly why keith wasn't and locker was :mjpls: they need someone they can trust to be in the film room all the time :mjpls: someone who they can depend on....rally around :mjpls: someone who is "well-driven" without worrying about any potential "off the field issues"

Meanwhile Jake Locker retires because he doesn't even like football and Keith Price trying to make a living as a Saskatchewan Rough Rider :beli:

Where the NFL teams got fukked up is thinking QB's need to start right away. There's nothing wrong with letting a first round QB sit for a few years. The best QB in the league right now (Romo) sat several years before starting, so did the second best QB in the league right now (Rodgers). Look at Tyrod Taylor this year in Buffalo after having several years on the bench.
