I tend to agree with you, @
erod .
To play devils advocate though, there are probably several QBs in the bust status that could've been decent or above average quarterbacks had they maybe been drafted by a different team and coached by a proper coaching staff. Though, we don't see any coaching staff clamoring for these guys, so maybe that perspective is wrong.
I agree though that the future of the quarterback is either A) grim; or B) fundamentally changing.
Who knows? Maybe 10-20 years from now, quarterbacks will all be freak athletes who run as much as they pass, the RB position all but disappears, and the game is played completely different that the game we watch today.
I think one of the more interesting things about the sport of football is that it is constantly evolving. For better or worse, whether we like the change or not.
That's the thing about these more modern sports (broad term, historically speaking). We're watching them organically evolve.
Soccer has been around for thousands of years. It pretty much is what it is at this point.
American football, basketball, and baseball are babies in comparison to that. Imagine what those 3 sports will look like in 3,000 years. I'm sure they'd be unrecognizable to us.
