Quote:You realize that is the average career for any NFL player, right?

 

This is incorrect. The average career of an NFL starting franchise quarterback is expected to be much more than six years.

 

We are talking about the expected longevity of NFL starting quarterbacks.

 

Tom Brady 12+ years - Peyton Manning 15 years - John Elway 16 years - Bart Starr 16 years - Joe Montana 15 years - Terry Bradshaw 14 years - Len Dawson 19 years - Kenny Stabler 15 years - Dan Marino 17 years - Brett Favre 20 years

 

On the other hand, a running quarterback is expected to last just six years.

 

Name one running quarterback that has lasted more than six years as a productive starter.
