Multiple Paths To Quarterback Success
- There is no single correct path to find a franchise quarterback; top teams all used different routes.
- The only constant is the quarterback must possess an elite, next-level trait to truly be a franchise guy.
Context Trumps Acquisition Method
- Top organizations found quarterbacks via very different strategies: drafting, trading, sitting, or starting early.
- Team context and development plan matter more than a single acquisition model.
Demand An Elite Trait Before Committing
- Do not convince yourself you have a franchise QB based on heart or effort alone.
- Require an elite, defining trait before committing long-term to a quarterback.
