This is almost nauseating
Everyone is trying to guess how a Good QB is made.
Well let's KISS
Starts in the head of the QB and proceeds to his heart coupled with ability then given a fair chance which includes quality coaching and requisite talent and patience.
Most are not made overnight.
Can Goff just go thru this process?
I mean Wentz is not elite yet.
Carr is being paid because he shows potential and has had that opportunity.
It really works.
All the hand wringing over every game or every nuance doesn't change a thing.
We lost with Bulger and a host of QBs with less talent.
We lost with Bradford compounded by a lack team talent and injury history
We ought to be more confident or at least knowledgeable that it takes more than media hype to develop a star QB
It takes time and success.
Well I see both the last 2 Rams qbs you list at the end there as good ones. The problem was not that they didn't develop. On contrary. With both, the real problems were something else. With both, it was genuinely massive and extensive OL injuries that were so bad they brought the entire offense down. And also in both cases, heavy injuries---though with Bulger they were not as dramatic as a knee. But they were real and kept him out of games.
So what the lesson of those 2 qbs teaches is this. You're pretty much not going anywhere if your OL falls apart to THAT extent and if your qb keeps getting injured.
On your first points, I agree. Takes a while for a qb to come around.
And to me it's not a question of "elite." Elite is rare and while it's nice to have, you don't need it. Just a good franchise qb is all you need. Elite is gravy.
So I don't look for any of the guys you list---Goff, Wentz, Carr---to become elite.
