Sustainable success in the NFL is not easy to find but it starts and ends with who is behind the center for every NFL team and a reason why the Miami Dolphins have been bad for so long.
In today’s NFL a franchise quarterback will not just win games for a team it can cement the position for 15 or 20 years. The NFL has long abandoned the days of old when quarterbacks could get hit and get hit hard. You can no longer hit a quarterback high and you can’t hit them below the waist. The league is protecting that position and as a result, quarterbacks are lasting a lot longer in the league.
