The Great Quarterback Debate
The significance of identifying the ideal quarterback for a team has been a subject of much discussion among experts and players alike. Some contend that a quarterback can determine the fate of a season or an entire franchise. One lineman comments, "It makes it harder... Drew Brees was brilliant for years and years. That is tough." Others argue that it's not just about skill, but also about finding the right fit and having the necessary support in place.
