“It’s like he was put on this planet to play QB in the NFL.”
It seems crazy to me that there are only 10? really good NFL quarterbacks on the planet.
It definitely is one of the most difficult things to do in all of sports but there just has to be more people on the planet that can do the job well.
I feel like if more people got the opportunity to play QB in the NFL we would discover more really good NFL QBs. It’s just unfortunate that there are only 32 jobs to start the year and scouts/GMs are really bad at identifying who will be a good QB before they get multiple years experience playing the position at the NFL level.
People have a skewed perception of “an average NFL QB” because guys like Brady, Manning, Brees, Rivers, Rodgers, Big Ben have such long playing careers. We’re talking guys who were drafted in late 90s to mid 00s playing well into mid 10s and early 20s
The reality is that an average starting NFL QB isn’t QB16 in any given year, it’s the average of all starting QBs over the past decade.
QBs who “bust” and don’t get another starting contract or bounce around are closer to average than most people are willing to give them credit for.
