When blessed with an exceptional QB, he's good enough to exploit that talent but there's no evidence that he's got the ability to rise from just solid consistency to being a perennial contender.

The reality in football is you can have the best offense and defensive stars around but if your QB isn't at least above average you aren't going to win a National Championship. Having a great QB though increases your chances exponentially.

This year we had the bad luck to have our QB1 break his leg in the 2nd game, and the backup was what I'd call average at best (Throws 1 pick a game on average). With Haynes at the helm, would we have lost 4 games? Perhaps, but probably not. We'll never know.
