Pryor Says QB is a "Political" Position

Very important point, he makes. Apart from race (which is never apart), who is QB depends on a lot of non-field factors. You have to be in the right situation.

He's right, but most people don't believe it. They believe that merit always wins out. But it doesn't. There are a limited number of slots for any one position. There is a limited amount of games and practice time. All that needs to happen is wind up behind the wrong coach, the wrong starter, the wrong ownership (see Kirk Cousins) and you might not even get a chance to shine. Or you might get it too late to flower.
