We all remember when conventional wisdom was that a young QB needed to sit behind a veteran and hold a clipboard for two or three years before they were ready to play in the NFL. Now, not only does that not make financial sense because you've got your QB at such a low price for their first three to five years, it also doesn't make sense in practice. It seems as though we have more guys than ever just coming into the league and tearing it up at that position. Blaine Gabbert is an outlier at this point.
Now, is this partially because there is more pro-style offense being played in high school and college, giving the QBs an idea of how to run an actual NFL offense years before they get there, or is it more because college offense is being injected into the pro game at a high rate over the past handful of years, helping young QBs make the transition more easily? Or is it a mix of these two things, or is it something else?
What do you guys think?
