If this is true then they didn't take a raw QB and try to develop HIS skills and make him into the best version of himself he could be; they tried to mold him into the version of QB Steichen has in his head whether it fit the man or not. It obviously didn't. They had zero business drafting AR.

I am 100% with you on this. That is why I was so heated about the Philip thing. It certainly appears to me that Steichen is too prone to his own hubris obfuscating reality. With AR, I think he was willing to "try" to do it a different way at the outset- he was doing to great things on the ground and in improv passing, but once the injuries happened he was probably like "nope, all I need is a guy who just executes exactly what I tell him to do". And, given what we saw to start the year last year, there's some merit to that. Conversely, we also witnessed a diabolical collapse where that very simple "go execute what I say" approach, was not sufficient to win games.
