Why QB-needy NFL teams are poor fits for Brendan Sorsby as a developmental prospect
By
Conor Orr
Summary
The article argues that Brendan Sorsby, a quarterback prospect in the NFL supplemental draft, is a long-term project who needs a stable organization to develop properly. It warns that teams desperate for a quarterback fix are likely bad fits for him, as they have historically failed to develop QBs with pronounced flaws. The piece emphasizes that most NFL teams cannot "fix" quarterbacks with significant mechanical or stylistic issues, and Sorsby would be better suited for a patient, well-structured franchise rather than a QB-needy team looking for a quick solution.

· 3 pulledThe list of NFL teams that have 'fixed' a quarterback with a pronounced flaw in some way, shape or form is shorter than a baby Pomeranian.
He is a long-term project who needs stability, not a quick fix for the organizations that need QBs because they've failed to develop one.
We dismiss quarterbacks for being too small. For having a hitch in their throwing motion. For having poor footwork. For throwing deep too often. For throwing deep not often enough.
