But to give Shanny a pass and say that he had no chance to acquire a decent QB is simply not true.

True, he had a chance. But then the question becomes, was that chance worth taking? Once you commit to a QB, you're stuck with that commitment for 2-3 years and you'll pass up future QBs in these subsequent draft classes.
