You both make excellent points.

Belaboring the obvious, good coaching and “having the horses” help a lot. And good coaching is obviously a combo of recruiting, development, motivation, X’s and O’s, and planning. “Having the horses” is important, but let’s remember we never went to a bowl game with Elway at QB.

In retrospect, we were blessed when EUTM came to town. It even coaxed a great performance out of Tavita in the Greatest Upset Ever. Those teams had both talent and grit.

And yes, Walsh got the most out of his QBs, IMHO.  

Who’s really coaching our QBs now?

A guy who has never coached QB's, I think.
