How much help do young QBs need to succeed in the NFL?

From The Athletic Football Show: A show about the NFL The Athletic

Quarterbacks get all the attention in the NFL, and understandably so. But young signal callers don't succeed or fail on their own. They need the right infrastructure around them to become the player the teams drafting them believe they can be. So...what is that infrastructure? Robert Mays, Nate Tice, Derrik Klassen dig into the importance of pass-catchers, offensive lines and playcallers for young QBs, with lessons from recent history, on this episode of The Athletic Football Show.
