My Take
David Blough's career is a case study in converting limitations into leverage. As an NFL quarterback he bounced between Cleveland, Detroit, Minnesota and Arizona, mostly as a backup — but I would argue those years were an apprenticeship, not a failure. Backup quarterbacks watch more film, sit in more meetings, and absorb more schemes than almost anyone in the building. Now, as offensive coordinator of the Washington Commanders while barely in his thirties, he gets to spend that accumulated capital. I am genuinely curious whether his play-calling will reflect a journeyman's pragmatism or a young coach's ambition. Either way, the climb from Purdue to an NFL headset earns my respect.
