Does this mean that good protection will get you good QB play from just about any QB?
No. But it improves the chances greatly.
Not necessarily. A good QB needs many other credentials besides a functional OL to be successful. Some of these intangibles might include the ability to lead, to command respect from your teammates, to command respect from your opponent, to know and take advantage of your teams strengths and your opponents weaknesses. Must possess the ability to make sound decisions in a split second. Must instill confidence in your teammates.
And on and on.
And I have yet to mention any physical skills needed such as accurately throwing or scrambling.
Hell, I think George Patton or Norman Schwartzkoff would had both been great QB's in the NFL, and I've never seen either one throw or run.
Its the way they led men in battle that set them apart. Their men wanted to fight - and win.
Leadership is the key, and we have zero at the moment.
Find our field general first, then bring in the infantry!
(Sorry to butt in on your debate.)
