I guess that's why the great QBs are great and the average QBs are just average.

Yeah, I think this whole "Alex's job was to make KC respectable and transition to a real QB they can win with" line of thinking is just pro-Alex spin.
That's certainly not what was said at the time by Andy Reid or Clark Hunt (we have our first round QB, Alex being able to do everything Andy needs/wants, Alex being able to improve, etc.)
It certainly wasn't the rhetoric of most in favor of the trade or most who defended him after he arrived. "Not his fault! Winning percentage! Smart football!"
Transitional QBs are guys you being in for a year, maybe two. You don't talk up their ability to improve, or become elite starters, or give them lucrative, expensive contract extensions.
