Did Kordell Stewart play in the wrong era?

Even though I agree, I still believe that a Qb is the main reason You win , or lose in the playoffs.
I was always taught, and I believe it to be true from all that I've seen, that a HC will get You to the playoffs, and a Qb will get you to the promise land, the SB.

 

Yes, he played in the wrong era. Teams today are much more able to utilize the QB's legs on designed runs, and they are able to scheme ways to make that threat open up the passing lanes. He wouldn't have had to have been highly accurate. Complete 60% of passes (many tailored, easy throws off of rollouts), run a good bit, etc. He would've been a menace in the red zone today too. I don't think he would've been a super star, but he would've been an effective starter that could get hot and find a PB/AP a year or so in there, but be largely run of the mill when he's not hot. Think Jalen Hurts. High ceiling, but can be remarkably average for stretches too.

 

Can’t say he played in the wrong era, but he definitely played for the wrong coordinators.

 

I'm not sure he was willing to give up being a QB without an honest try. He was ok that 1st year with the "slash" role because it got him on the field. Guys like Ward and Randel El were far more aware that the path to the NFL was by switching to receiver and not QB. There have been a couple guys on offensive line that I think would excel at guard but got the idea that after a try a tackle they wanted that instead because more money. I remember Foster saying that to guys who were converted to tackles that they should stay tackles for the money.
