The NFL is witnessing a growing trend of teams dumping young quarterbacks after only a few seasons. Stories of some of these quarterbacks reviving their careers prove that teams should invest in these players to develop into pro-level passers. The trend also serves as a warning for up-and-coming college quarterbacks.

Baylor has boasted some of college football’s biggest names at the quarterback position. Here are the top five Baylor signal-callers from the past 25 years.
Led by Heisman candidate quarterback Sawyer Robertson, Baylor is chasing history.
Baylor football is expected to name Toledo transfer sixth-year quarterback Dequan Finn as the team’s starting quarterback, according to Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports.
With Blake Shapen taking over as quarterback, all eyes are on him following a big season for the program.
Even with a number of unproven players pressed into action for the injury-plagued Bears, they managed to win 45-35 at Boone Pickens Stadium against No. 6 Oklahoma State Saturday night.
After nearly a month off the field, No. 6 Baylor football (11-1, 8-1) has made the trek to the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale to play No. 15 University of Central Florida (11-1, 8-0) in the 43rd annual Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.
After three years of backing up Robert Griffin III and Nick Florence, fourth year junior Bryce Petty played in his first career collegiate start at quarterback.
“Being out there, it was very humbling,” Petty said. “Just a blessing. It wasn’t necessarily a blur, but I was just in the moment.”
Petty looked poised early in the pocket, finishing 7-8 with 113 yards and a touchdown in the first quarter, including a 27-yard bomb to Antwan Goodley in the back of the end zone.
Trouble ensued early in the second quarter when Petty had a stretch of having a ball batted down from his hand for a fumble, dropping a snap and throwing a pass to a defender that was mercifully dropped.
