re: Bruce Arians rips spread offense QBs: I don't even consider it quarterbacking

I think it's part of the reason why there are so few elite QBs right now.

I agree with your overall sentiment, but this part is a bit misleading. The overall QB play in the last 5 or so years has been better than it has ever been in the history of the league, and IMO there are just as many if not more elite QBs in the league as there has ever been. The problem is that the other 25-27 QBs are compared to the elite guys and they obviously pale in comparison. However, that is to be expected when you're talking about the truly elite QBs.

I think the "problem" is the the lower tier of QBs just seems worse than ever lately, however I'm not sure if that is just a perception problem or if it is a real consequence of the current college game. Honestly, when I think back to any era, there have always been awful QBs, so I tend to believe there isn't any real problem at the moment, but it still blows my mind that when tasked to find the best 32 QBs in the country, the bottom 5-7 are still so damn awful.
