“Hey, kid, we’re short a guy – wanna play?”
Finding a franchise quarterback in the contemporary NFL landscape is not simply at the top of a general manager’s checklist, it is the list. As the league enacts more and more rules that protect the quarterback, and allow receivers to run freely down the middle with little repercussive hits that make receivers end up looking through their ear holes, this will only become a greater team need. Through the first three weeks last season, all 32 teams passed an average of 32 times, resulting in more passing yards and passing touchdowns in the history of the league. Conversely, only 5 teams had a running back that carried the ball more than 20 times.
