Funny story- a few years ago there was this 3rd round rookie QB that was never supposed to start, but due to an unfortunate series of events he had to. During that season some of us said the young man showed some promise and that if we could ever build a team around him we might have something. We were met with arguments like, "A franchise QB doesn't need a perfect roster to be successful" and, "A franchise QB can put the team on his back and carry them to victory himself" and my personal favorite, "A franchise QB wills his team to victory". All the while refusing to give the rookie any credit for what he was able to do given the circumstances.
So now a few years later we have a first overall pick franchise QB that has been groomed to start since day 1. Now in his 3rd year that QB has a team with far more talent than that 3rd round rookie had. He has a WR/TE corp that's as good as any in the league and enough overall team talent that every football personality expected this to be a playoff team. All of that and what does this franchise QB need to improve on our 2-6 record? More talent around him.
