This is how it has changed:







You've got guys that are 6'5, 250lbs+ running 4.3 with great hands. Given current NFL rules, corners and safeties will struggle to defend these guys.

If QB is such an easy position these days compared to the past why is it still considered the most important position for team success. Basically everyone should have a QB that is reasonably comparable and the defensive side of the ball should be where it is considered the most important. We still talk about teams going crazy over trying to find an "adequate QB".

The game is so fast and complex now there is no doubt in my mind that old great QBs might have never had the aptitude to play the position today.
