And right on queue, the LA Rams acquisition of quarterback Matthew Stafford has elevated the perception for the team’s chances for this season. Is the team truly better with changing the quarterback? That’s certainly a legitimate question and one that will be a topic of debate well into the 2021 NFL season.
I don’t subscribe to the ‘one-player makes a huge difference’ theory. Of course, the wrong quarterback on the field will push that to the limit. While an unprepared inexperienced backup quarterback forced into a starting role can have horrendous consequences, I don’t judge any offseason moves at quarterback to be miracle cures.
