The John Elway QB Cycle
Stage 1: Draft an ultra raw guy and do the responsible thing for his development by having him sit and learn on the bench from his defense-minded head coach. After all, if there's anybody who knows about getting college QBs to put their skills to the best use, it's defensive coordinators.
Stage 2: Start your ultra raw guy too early because your current veteran sucks.
Stage 3: Realize your ultra raw guy isn't really all that raw-- he just sucks. Trade for/overpay a game manager veteran QB. May also be accompanied by hiring a new defense-minded head coach, so that you can build a "play defense, run the ball, make no mistakes, win playoff games" kind of team. Falsely assume people will praise you for thinking outside the box.
Stage 4: Vet QB sucks. You have no young talent at the position. It's time to draft a QB!
Rinse and repeat
