The conversation is mind-numbing. There are plenty of examples of 'top 10 drafted QBs' who didn't have a good 1st year, for various reasons...sometimes he's just not very good year 1.

The red flag for me would be the new regime - hell or high water - insisting on starting their highly drafted QB if he doesn't give the team the best chance to win in week 1. Doesn't mean he won't turn into Joe Montana down the road, but to suggest that player MUST start week 1 because of where he was drafted is dumb, and not a good way for the new regime to get buy-in from the rest of the roster.
