The annual race to draft and develop young quarterbacks has reached the point of near-insanity in the NFL, and it produces plenty of casualties. Coaches and GMs get fired, personnel “experts” lose their credibility and quarterbacks get broken and fractured in the process.
Rehabilitating these broken quarterbacks can be an impossible task. Most damaged QBs end up carrying a clipboard for the rest of their careers, but what the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings are doing with Jared Goff and Sam Darnold, respectively, is emphatic proof that it can be done. The squared off today in Minnesota in a 31-29 thriller won by the Lions, and both resurgent quarterbacks put on an absolute show.
