You’ve probably heard it said before that the NFL is a “quarterback and head coach league” — that teams need to have quality in both positions to be successful.
If only it was that simple.
Yes, the NFL is a head coach and quarterback league, but it’s the relationship between the two that drives teams to the playoffs and championships.
It’s a marriage. And like in any other marriage, the two parties have to be on the same page and above the fray. Good teams have head coaches and quarterbacks that you can take for granted — they’re the parents in the room.
