Robert Saleh created headlines with this quote. What makes him think this way?
“I think 32 coaches stand in front of their team every year and talk about winning a championship,” Saleh said. “Realistically, there’s maybe six-to-eight teams that have an actual chance to do it.”
Why would he say this? Simple.
The NFL is a QB-driven league, and there are about six-to-eight elite quarterbacks, and the Jets have one of them in Aaron Rodgers.
If you have one of those elite quarterbacks, your chances of competing for a championship go way up.
If you don’t have one of those elite quarterbacks, your chances go way down.
The NFL is such a QB-reliant league, that if you don’t have one of those special guys under center, as Herman Edwards once said, “If you don’t have a quarterback, let me tell you something, that field is 150 yards long.”
