and all of a sudden make them good. Especially when you are still very young. Dan Marino wasn't drafted highly, but found success early. Also had a pretty good team to come into. If I remember right, Aikman's first year with the Cowboys wasn't anything to brag about. Think there was some huge Hershal Walker trade and then they players were there to develop and turned into something. Tom Brady didn't start off the bat, but when he finally did get his opportunity, seemed to take pretty quick. Guessing he had a decent team to work with.
Personally, I think owners and GMs put too much into getting the rated QB with not a lot of talent around. That's a lot of money to spend for high risk. Think I'd rather get some quality offensive players first and then work on the QB later. Even if that means taking a chance on a veteran that others are giving up on, like Drew Brees.
