Why is evaluating NFL Quarterbacks the hardest challenge in sports?
Terry Fontenot says because success depends on more than talent:
✔️ Protection
✔️ Run game
✔️ Coaching
✔️ Confidence
✔️ Patience
✔️ Culture
He pointed to Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, and Geno Smith as examples of players who looked done… until they landed in the right situation.
Sometimes it’s not about the player. It’s about the environment. 🏈
