And yet, Mark Sanchez continues to start as a QB in the NFL.
Are there really so few guys who can play the position at a high level that a Sanchez is still starting? This year, even Andy Dalton is being hailed as a quality QB (which he might well turn out to be, but, hey, it's way too soon for calling him that)...and Cam Newton, who's beaten a bunch of teams with a combined record of 48-65, including just one team with a winning record, is being compared to Tom Brady. Even Andrew Luck, whom I would call a talented guy, is starting to look like he can't handle it over the long haul. Aaron Rodgers, whom nearly everyone has put in the HOF, is struggling. Joe Flacco parlayed a good season and a great Playoff run into millions of dollars. Ditto, Eli Manning, who, outside of two seven or eight game runs, has a career record that looks like Trent Dilfer.
Were Brady and P. Manning and Favre, just anomalies of the last 20 years, attaining different levels of greatness that even their haters have to admire, with Brady more and more as the consensus GOAT?
Is the position really that hard to play at a high level...or is it the inability of OC's to gameplan for the strengths and weaknesses of their QB's...or have the Defenses gotten that technical and sophisticated....or something else?
