NFL training camps have opened, the off-season is officially over.
Ballclubs have added the players they think they need -- through free agency, trades or the draft.
For most teams, the number one item during their four-month hiatus had to do with, either directly or indirectly, their quarterback situation.
If a player is going to eat up anywhere from one-quarter to one-third of your total team salary --as QBs usually do -- you've got to either first make sure you have the right man at the position.
And if you do have a solid number one, ensure he has all the people around him that will help him succeed.
Here's a projection of which teams were successful in improving their quarterback situation this off-season, and which were not.
First, a look at which teams did NOT achieve the desired off-season QB-related results.
Kansas City Chiefs -- They traded their most productive wide receiver, speedy Tyreek Hill, to the Miami Dolphins. Hill was the most dynamic pass catcher in the NFL.
Tight end Travis Kelce is the lone proven receiver for QB Patrick Mahomes. It remains to be seen if Mahomes can continue his amazing success without Hill.
Seattle Seahawks -- They traded sensational quarterback Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos.
Apparently, Wilson felt he could no longer prosper in the current Seahawks offensive system. So Seattle granted Russell's trade wishes.
That leaves Seattle with Drew Lock, who was mediocre at best in Denver, and Geno Smith who failed to catch on with several ballclubs as a starter. Not promising.
Pittsburgh Steelers -- The retirement of Ben Roethlisberger sent the Steel City club on a quarterback hunt this off-season.
They came up with free agent Mitch Trubisky, who couldn't cut it as a top Chicago Bears draft pick, and Kenny Pickett, the Steelers first choice in this year's draft.
If Pickett fails to perform, Pittsburgh might really miss "Big Ben."
Houston Texans -- Without star QB Shaun Watson, the Texas floundered badly last season.
Davis Mills was not the answer at the quarterback. This off-season, Houston neither traded for help nor drafted anyone at the position.
Their inaction will likely result in a repeat of last season's losing log.
New York Jets and Giants -- The QBs at these clubs, the Jets' Zach Wilson and the Giants' Daniel Jones, just don't have the stuff to be successful starters in the NFL, Wiggins' World feels.
Wilson's success at BYU that resulted in him to be a top draft came as a result of a Covid-caused lower echelon Division I schedule.
Jones has struggled as the Giants starter in his two plus seasons.
Neither team added a challenger to compete with the pair.
Tennessee Titans -- Ryan Tannehill is a ball-control QB who has difficulty when the Titans' great ground game stalls.
He can get you into the postseason but not very far once you're there -- the Titans have lost in the postseason two years running.
Malik Willis, the fourth Tennessee draft pick is considered the QB of the future but won't help with the Titans' current predicament.
Now, for those teams whose prospects for success were aided by some very wise QB-related moves.
Miami Dolphins -- Adding receiver Tyreek Hill for quarterback Tua Tagaivaloa to throw to was a steal for the Dolphins. Tua has no excuses for not succeeding big time. Now if he can only stay healthy.
Cincinnati Bengals -- They drafted several offensive linemen to better protect young star QB Joe Burrow, most-sacked quarterback in the NFL last season.
Carolina Panthers -- QB Baker Mayfield comes in from Cleveland. He has success in the pros, which incumbent Sam Darnold does not. Matt Corrall was drafted if the previous pair can't cut it.
Denver Broncos -- The title chances for Denver shot up tremendously with the addition of Russell Wilson, who is still a dynamic QB if he can play his style of ball.
Philadelphia Eagles -- Philly added three-time 1,000 yard receiver AJ Brown for their young but rising quarterback Jalen Hurts to throw to.
Brown should help Hurts improve his low percentage rate of last season and give the Eagles a good shot in the play-offs.
Washington Commanders -- Traded for Carson Wentz who had a fine year for Indianapolis until a late-season meltdown. Colts made him a scapegoat for their failure, Wiggins World feels.
If Wentz can avoid chancy decisions, he could return to his MVP-type rookie form and make Washington contenders once more.
All the other clubs have only slight quarterback-related problems. Thus, if the positive moves of these listed teams pan out, the NFL should again be mostly a wide-open quarterback-dominated league.
