The NFL is A Quarterback Driven League Eh??

Sorry for the interruption, but really quick I wanted to touch on this as I’ve written countless times – football is about the team and there are many ways to build a championship unit. It takes balance and good quarterbacking but more importantly defense. The propaganda of covering just the quarterback has been constantly overblown and its simply not true. Well Super Bowl LX is being played in 4 days and none of these top 10 paid QBs are in it.

In fact 4 of them didn’t even make the playoffs and 3 are on teams that just hired a new head coach.  Not only that, no one in the Top Ten highest paid quarterbacks even bothered to make it to their respective conference championship games. Tell me again how its just about the franchise quarterback?

Back in 2013 I wrote a series Huge Quarterback Salaries: Feast or Famine with a follow up in 2022. With a resurrected Sam Darnold just 60 minutes from possibly winning a Super Bowl teams need to rethink their whole approach.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming of propaganda from traditional media outlets.  Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
