Quarterbacks Heading into the off-season before the 2019 season, the Dolphins had been stuck in mediocrity for over a decade and a half. They had won at least 6 games in all but 2 of their previous 17 seasons, but had only finished above .500 five times, never winning more…

Quarterback Going into last off-season, the Texans looked like they had the worst long-term outlook in the NFL. They had gone just 11-38-1 over the previous three seasons combined and, thanks to only having one first round pick and two top-50 picks from 2018-2021, they didn’t have a pipeline of…

Quarterback Three years ago, the Packers made a surprising decision in the first round of the draft, selecting quarterback Jordan Love to be the long-term replacement for quarterback Aaron Rodgers. It made some sense, with Rodgers set to enter his age 37 season and coming off of a season in…
