When will NFL teams learn? You can’t rush a rookie QB onto the field
NFL coaches know a lot about X's and O's, but managing rookie QBs, not so much.
When it comes to the care and feeding of rookie quarterbacks, NFL coaches are clueless. They can beat the Tampa 2, they can create endless stunts and blitzes, they can detail the intricacies of the spread offense, but they can’t figure out how to handle a rookie QB. NFL teams spend millions of dollars on wildly successful college QBs and then they turn them over to their coaches and cross their fingers.
You're viewing a single thread.
The NFL is a win-now league. 2 bad seasons and everyone, including the people who drafted the QB, are usually gone. And if those people are gone the QB is usually next out the door too. No one is given more than 2-3 years to figure out a rebuild.
Not every team is like that. Since 1969, there have been more Popes than Steelers Head Coaches.
That's fair, but how many losing seasons have they had since then? You don't fire success, unless you're the Bears firing Smith after going 10-6 but kissing the playoffs

He was such a good kisser too.
Great typo?
