THE INSTITUTE
FOR QUARTERBACK
OUTCOMES

"We watch the tape so the tape can hurt you too." The Institute is the world's least profitable quarterback research organization. We grade what happened. Kevin grades what he feels. Tony maintains the corkboard. Together, we operate three research facilities — one tragedy, one control group, and one open investigation.

FOUNDED: 1:14 AM SERIES A: LED BY NO ONE ALL PROCEEDS TO CHARITY: $0.00 AND HOLDING LEGAL TEAM: A GROUP CHAT

Research Facilities

THREE SITES · ONE UNIVERSE · ZERO RINGS BETWEEN THEM (WELL. ONE FACILITY HAS SEVERAL.)
FACILITY 01

AllenSim™

OUR TRAGEDY · 14 LABS

The flagship, starring Josh Allen — quarterback, №17. Twelve laboratories of deterministic suffering, a franchise mode, a blame wheel, a trophy room with one immaculate empty case, and a snow-shoveling war you can technically win. The process is perfect. The outcome is January.

FACILITY 02

LamarSim™

OUR CONTROL GROUP · EVERYTHING WORKS

Every study needs a control: a quarterback whose outcomes match his process. Throw it anywhere. Do nothing. Touchdown either way. The only force that beats the control group is a ballot, and we have a whole lab about that.

FACILITY 03

MahomeSim™

OUR INVESTIGATION · ONGOING

Every 50/50 ball. Every flag. Every deliberate mistake ruled retroactively intentional. The Institute alleges nothing. The Institute maintains a folder. The folder has a wing of the building now.

FACILITY 04

DartSim™

THE ROOKIE WING · VIBES: IMMACULATE

Our youngest subject: rallies with 100% approval, a boat the lake authority knows by name, a sacred headbutt ritual, perfect football down by exactly thirty, and a co-op lead-protection exercise with a haunted headset. The vibes survive everything. That is the finding.

NEW WING

The League

32 QUARTERBACKS · ONE EXHIBIT EACH · OPENING WING BY WING

The expansion project: every starting quarterback in football, reduced to the one exhibit the internet already built for them. Now open: Geno's unanswerable mail, Burrow's 0.85-second pocket, Cleveland's jeweler's bench, and the What-If Machine, where the data wears a cape.

FACILITY 05

KylerSim™

THE VERTICAL WING · SIGHTLINE: THEORETICAL

Our most vertically efficient subject completes passes to men he has never seen, hopping for one-second glimpses over a wall of enormous humans. Then he goes home, where the double XP is real and the film app remains, forever, at 0:00 of 4:00. His aim is elite in both buildings.
