What is the most important position on any NFL team? It’s not a trick question, and if your automatic answer was “the quarterback”, you are correct. It has always been true, and as the league has evolved to be more centered on the passing game with rules tilting the table strongly toward the offense, it has just become more so. If a team doesn’t have a franchise quarterback, it is nearly impossible for them to be competitive, no matter how good their running game or their defense. Get that settled, especially with a young and talented QB, and you are set to at least be relevant for years to come.
