I like the hypothesis as well.
Perhaps you can build a monster team that needs a QB that is fast, and doesn't throw a bunch of turnovers to win, but you can devalue the position and pay other players if you are willing to jettison QB's every few years. Also the interesting thought about this is that if you started stacking young QB's IE: taking one every year in the draft (even in the later rounds) that you do not have to worry as much about your current system QB taking some punishment and possibly getting hurt.
Lets be honest, this is not how the NFL runs today. It is an interesting idea though, especially with the NFL looking a bit more and more like college each year in terms of offense. Those guys all run QB's for three or four years and rollover and a lot of the programs stay successful despite. Could something like that work in the NFL? I think it would take an Owner, GM, and Innovative coaching staff all on board to even attempt it.
Well the thing there is that the top schools recruit the best talent all over the team, which is why they're able to stay dominant. You couldn't replicate that in the NFL.
