Interesting article. The demise of NFLE doens't help either, but I don't think anyone was sending their #1 drafted QB over there.
Mostly, I think it is because you need to pick in the upper half (and likely very upper half) of the draft to get a QB that is good enough to consider a franchise changer. And to pick that high, you have to be really bad.
We are in a rare state of luxury.
But, a valid point on the reduced number of snaps allowed. There are lots of other ways to learn I suppose, but reducing the practice snaps for backups certainly doesn't help any position.
