“It’s like he was put on this planet to play QB in the NFL.”

The folk lore has gone religious.

    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.
