good article, team fit really makes a difference for a puppy QB, our problem is with so many issues, health, lack of experienced talent, poor supporting cast, we can't supply anything like a GOOD fit for Love, so it is still hard to affectively grade Love.
his simple view of the quarterback position is that many players fail simply because they aren't good enough, but, there's a stronger argument to be made that team fit might be the most essential component of all these QB's
"It plays a big role," said Tannehill, the eighth overall pick in the 2012 draft who never quite found his footing in Miami before discovering success in Tennessee the last two seasons. "First and foremost, the guys around you, the people you lean on to make plays have a big part in (a quarterback's success). The staff, the system, the organization -- it all goes hand in hand. When you're in a place that realizes your skill set and takes advantage of it in an offense that shows what you can do, it's huge. When you're in a place where you have that, it's a lot of fun."
As much as we talk about which quarterbacks are elite -- or who deserves to have nine-figure contracts heaped upon them -- most signal-callers in this league need plenty of help to succeed. The last two offseasons have provided ample evidence of that, as increasingly more teams are doing whatever it takes to create that ideal union between player and club.
We've seen top-five draft picks being traded by their respective franchises (Jared Goff, Carson Wentz, Sam Darnold), aging veterans struggling to find their footing in new places (Cam Newton) and formerly inconsistent signal-callers hitting their stride after coaching changes (Baker Mayfield, Derek Carr). The overwhelming takeaway from all these situations: Chemistry, comfort and continuity mean a hell of a lot more than sheer ability for those lining up under center.
It's worth wondering if Buffalo's Josh Allen would've gone from a raw talent to an MVP candidate in only three years if he hadn't landed with a Bills team that knew exactly how to develop his blend of athleticism and arm strength. Seattle's Russell Wilson became a star early in his career by leading a team that relied heavily on a strong run game and a staunch defense, while Baltimore's Lamar Jackson and Arizona's Kyler Murray had spread offensive schemes tailored to fit their playmaking potential. Carolina also has an enlightened view of how best to use Darnold, the third overall pick in the 2018 draft, after acquiring him in a recent trade from the New York Jets, with Panthers head coach Matt Rhule saying, "One man can't do it alone."
