With all these new rules to protect QBs, guess what? They are still getting injured and teams are suffering because of it. That is the nature of the game and is a key reason why teams should be mandated to keep at least 3 QBs at all times. They could make a roster exception for QBs but I have a problem with the situation that occurred in the Arizona Cardinal at Carolina Panthers game. The two QBs who finished that game were guys who were a week removed from sitting whee we are sitting. I am not trying to hate on Vinny but I think America's reliance or desire for a quick fix has saturated head coaches minds.  Whatever happened to developing young QBs? Call me what you like but a 43 year old QB, should never be your starting QB or anything other than your clipboard holding mentor to your young quarterbacks. 

Does anyone give QBs time to develop or do they just want game manager? My perfect example of this is Kyle Boller, I never was a big fan of his unlike Rex Grossman but Billick was very impatient with him and basically ruined him in my opinion. Baltimore had a tremendous defense, a great kicker and good running game but continued to lose games they shouldn't have because all of their games were close. That is what you get with a QB that "manages" the game, especially when you are also playing a team that has a QB that "manages" the game.  To mean that "manager" label means don't mess up has been drilled into these quarterbacks heads instead of teaching them how to correctly read defenses. Is it that people no longer feel like taking the time to develop a QB or is it that all of these guys are so terrible? 

How do you develop an NFL QB? Time and patience are key, but decisiveness and confidence are mostly underrated. Talent is very important as well but for different reasons. For example, you can't teach some one to throw a good deep ball. Understand that and adjust, hell noodle armed QBs have been playing for years. Accuracy on short routes is more important anyway. Teach them how to help out their linemen by sliding and getting rid of the ball. I know I have come back to the age old question should the QB sit or play, but like the chicken and the egg it might never be answered. To be continued...........
