It's something everybody has known for years. It's not like Goff, Wentz and yes Watson, gave us this new idea.
But, sometimes, draft successes like these remind GMs, coaches, owners, etc. that it all starts with the man behind center.
I do believer you are right...some of these guys are being pushed up because of it. I think only a couple are really ready. And...I don't mean like Goff. I think they need to sit out the entire season. But...once their team starts losing...they will be on the field.
GMs have never doubted that.
BUT there were bad years at qb. Thinking of 2011-2013. 2014 is a
little better.
YEAR ROUND PICK PLAYER
2011 1 1 Cam Newton
2011 1 8 Jake Locker
2011 1 10 Blaine Gabbert
2011 1 12 Christian Ponder
2012 1 1 Andrew Luck
2012 1 2 Robert Griffin
2012 1 8 Ryan Tannehill
2012 1 22 Brandon Weeden
2013 1 16 EJ Manuel QB
2014 1 3 Blake Bortles
2014 1 22 Johnny Manziel
2014 1 32 Teddy Bridgewater
Then came Winston, Mariota, Goff, Wentz, yet also Lynch.
Then 2017:
2017 1 2 Mitch Trubisky
2017 1 10 Patrick Mahomes
2017 1 12 Deshaun Watson
Jury is out on 2017.
