NFL teams have been tripping over themselves to add star quarterbacks the past two seasons, believing an upgrade at the position can lead them to the Super Bowl.
But second-year Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell told beat reporters Wednesday he does not believe teams need to be elite at the position for long-term success.
“No, I don’t think you need that," Campbell said. "I think that those guys like that are obviously, they’re special. And they certainly can give you a better chance. But no, I don’t believe you have to have one of those guys to have sustained success.
