A Quality Quarterback Begins With the Coach

In response to the crying Rams’ fans who claim that the Rams’ “Passing Attack Fizzled When They Gave Young And Mobile Jeff Kemp Away,” I tell them to take a deeper look into the matter.

Jeff Kemp has become a successful quarterback because of the skilled quarterback training of Bill Walsh.

And don’t forget that Walsh coached Ken Anderson during his prime years in ‘74-’75, Dan Fouts, who speaks for himself, and of course, the legendary Joe Montana. Not to say that these quarterbacks don’t have exceptional athletic ability, but a team needs good coaching personnel to fully utilize a quarterback’s talent.

Comparatively speaking, the Rams have gone through a myriad number of quarterbacks over the last five to six years, and wouldn’t have traded Jeff Kemp if they realized his full potential. Well now that the Rams have drafted a gifted quarterback in Jim Everett, let’s see if the coaches can utilize a quarterback’s potential.
