Out of the box thought: anyone think there is merit to a specialty red zone QB? Like in baseball a closer or relief pitcher
Fantasy stats would go all to heck.
Might be a ego issue with whomever your current QB is (i.e. Russell Wilson)
Still, would it be effective? And if Russell were all about winning and if this really were more effective ....
Some people have thought Russell's red zone activity might be due to his height seeing in a short field.
For a specialty red zone QB:
I assume if someone were to actually TRY this, they'd need a taller QB, short-pass accuracy (no long downfield passes needed), and maybe a run threat of a few yards at least with a QB sneak (like a bull rush forward). Could take some chances physically because they're not in the whole game (ala professional wrestling WWE's Shane McMahon going balls out on a PPV because he never wrestles except on PPV). Since they would not necessarily be in 100% of the game, so I'm almost picturing one of those crusty old vets that still have the nerve, guts, and some short pass accuracy and a bit of mobility.
Okay in reality: I would prefer Russell to increase his effectiveness in the redzone and some better plays for the redzone sure. I want my franchise QB to my franchise QB in all aspects
But can't say it's not an interesting thought.
What do you all think?
