Edit: this is where a real GM, as in one who actually makes personnel decisions, overides a coach like Mike Shanahan in the decision to not take the truly best QB available or just shows coach the door. Unfortunately, Snyder still hasn't gotten this FO thing right. We've got a GM that's really just the HC's toady and the coach can't get it right to begin with.

True, you made a valid point but why would you think that Shanny won't be here in within few years? What if the team actually got better next year or two years later, you would still not want to extend his contract? Beside, in my opinion, a good (or great) QB should be able to play in any kind of system, that also includes Shanny's system.
