Quarterback is easily the most important position in football and arguably in all of sport.
In the college game, the team with the better quarterback wins what feels like at least 80% of the time.
Back in the day however, having an experienced signal-caller heading into a season with high expectations or a single game with big time stakes was considered a huge advantage.
Now, with the evolution of collegiate offenses, super-talented quarterbacks with limited or zero game experience have proven more than capable of leading a team to the national title game. Yes, it takes more than the quarterback for a team to reach the College Football Playoff championship game but if you don't have legit production from behind center, your favorite team is likely screwed when it matters most.
