A) People throw for 4K like it’s nothing these days lol. Kids take QB reps and are individually trained at 3 or 4 times the amount that it used to be. Camps and 7v7 leagues have made QB and skill position training a competitive year-round achievement. This along with an increasing adoption of college and HS offensive principles have made good QB’s a lot more common than before. Yes rules have helped the offense, but again the initial conversation is how a younger audience enjoys a certain style of play. Rule changes only enhance that.QB play is at it's best....This alone should be enough for you to realize that maybe what you see isn't what you believe.
B) QB’s are as a whole much more athletic than in any QB era in history. Mobility and out of pocket playmaking ability is much more important now than ever, as well as much more exciting and fun to watch. Pocket passers were once the only standard for a franchise QB, now a prospect gets dinged if they are solely a pocket passer.
C) QB’s who are solid to good and capable of winning games are now considered “Bridge Quarterbacks”. Never in the history of the league have you been able to find multiple starter quality level QB’s in free agency. Guys like Bridgewater, Dalton, Fitzpatrick, Brisset and Rivers last year are guys who wouldn’t be on the market as easily in previous eras. Now we see QB’s being traded and moved more often. The obvious clear reason for this is because QB’s have become more plentiful, they aren’t as scarce as they once were.
D) 2020-2022 will be the re-up of franchise QB’s. There is a collision of older QB’s leaving teams and a burst of young prospects, which is why you see so many openings this season. There is a very significant chance that in the near future 27-30 teams will have a guy capable of playing well and winning games. Shoot, after the draft it will probably be there this season.
