The NFL is becoming less of a quarterback league and more of a supporting cast league. Sure, there are still a handful of quarterbacks capable of carrying a lackluster offense, but a majority of the league’s signal-callers need the right players around them to succeed.
With that in mind, we set out to figure out which quarterbacks are in the most ideal situations and which have been dealt a terrible hand.
We tried to figure that out with a metric we’ll call QB Situation Grade, which factors in the four elements most conducive to quarterback success: A good offensive line; a group of receivers who will make plays when given the opportunity; an offense that keeps him in favorable down-and-distances; and a good scheme that gives him open receivers to throw to who can gain yards after the cach. We created four statistical measures to capture those factors as best we could.
