Drafting a QB Is actually working quite a bit now. The failure rate for first round QBs is declining since 2016. Coach’s are adjusting to their QBs, implementing more college style systems. Lamar Jackson had the same accuracy criticisms as Trubisky, he fixed his issues. So it is possible to coach it out of them. But what is the Gretzky saying? You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take?

And organization needs to interview a potential quarterback and try to get a measure of his ability to think adjust and learn. The NFL is a very cerebral game and the smarter quarterback turns to have an advantage over the athletic quarterback. See Peyton Manning. See Eli Manning. See Joe Montana.
