Abstract
Success in the National Football League is largely dependent on the quarterback
play. Finding the right quarterback to lead a team to success is difficult, and I wondered
whether signing a quarterback in free agency or trading for one is worth the money.
Through studies using my Quarterback Productivity Rating, I discovered that not only is
signing expensive free agent quarterbacks not necessarily worth the money, but resigning
franchise quarterbacks that play at a less than elite level may also be a mistake.
