I will also never understand how Elway can believe in drafting and developing all these QBs without ever hiring a QB-friendly head coach! Not once has he attempted to do that! Kubiak for one year. That's what he gave his QBs. That's it. He seriously thought some dipshit Dolphins DC and now the modern day NFL coaching equivalent of General Scheisskopf was good enough for any young QB who needs lots of work like Lynch and now Lock do.
He keeps hiring defensive minded guys. Yes, defensive coaches can often have good relationships with and work with young QB talent, but you're just not ever going to find that to be the case with first year head coaches. Marty got Rivers off the ground, Parcells with Bledsoe, Coughlin and Eli, Carroll with Wilson... and I'm probably missing a couple more. like, we're really scraping the bottom of the barrel.
About the only counterexample in the past many years where a first year defensive head coach developed with a young QB is Tomlin with Roethlisberger, and even then Roethlisberger had Cowher for a single season (though I'm not sure how much that really helped him)
