The reason there is a lot of mediocrity in the league is because QBs are way overvalued. Look at their contracts. They get special treatment. Its hard to find good QBs. The pro game is a lot different. Teams dont develop QBs for long enough. Teams dont give backups enough reps. Teams misevaluate. Bryce could be a pro-bowl player with all-pros surrounding him, given the right system and development. But there are so many teams that discard players so quickly and teams are incentivized to tank and get a great draft pick that could land you the next great QB. Its a system that is meant to uplift the bad teams. By doing so, there ends up being a lot of teams in the middle and at the bottom of the league. Reaching the top of the league requires the right people at every key position owner, gm, coach, qb, coordinators.
