ANALYSIS/OPINION:
There has never been a bad time to be the quarterback.
From pee wees to the pros, they enjoy a certain cachet that’s unattainable at other positions. QBs are the most scrutinized and criticized, but that’s a small price to pay for the prestige and extensive package of off-field benefits.
But as good as life has been, NFL quarterbacks have never had it better than now.
From the rulebook to their checkbooks, everything is trending in signal-callers’ favor.
The league for years has tilted toward offense, especially passers. Their receivers are freer to move about the field.
