I can assure you there are no horses in sight.
The comment was based on the way your statement was worded. I've seen hundreds of students over the years claim they couldn't pass without the QB, and I've known for a fact that their comments were nonsense. They couldn't pass without the QB because otherwise they would have to work 10 x harder than they were (which wasn't a lot) and they weren't willing to do it.
Right or wrong, my comment was based on experience. I apologise.
Which brings me onto your next comment(s).

I couldn't agree more with everything you've written. I told my students exactly the same thing. Some listened, some didn't. Those who didn't generally failed.
As I say, my GS was done over 6 years ago, a lot has changed since then.
I have a personal hated for all QBs. Always have, always will.
But reluctantly I do understand their importance more and more in recent years, and their increase in popularity and perceived need.
As a friend of mine used to say "Do what you want, I've already got my licence"
Best of luck.
