WagerWire Report: Quarterback Development, Weapons, and What QB-Needy Teams Need to Do
Everybody knows how Josh Allen developed in the league. And with Hurts’ 2022 season, he is now another example. How should we think about QB development? What does it mean for teams that may draft a QB this year? And why Anthony Richardson is an interesting pick this draft.
