I've been lurking here for awhile but hadn't signed up until now. I'm an original PSL owner so I have been at this for awhile.
My response to this post. It's all about coaching. In my opinion, Hurts has become Hurts because of coaching. Purdy has become Purdy because of coaching. Mahomes, drafted with the TENTH pick in the 2017 draft, has become Mahomes because of coaching.
It's NOT just having a high draft pick and then using it to draft a QB. It's also having a coach that can develop that QB. Normally, if a defensive coach/DC becomes the head coach, he then has to find a offensive coach/QB coach to develop his young QB. And normally, if that offensive/QB coach is really good, he moves on the be a head coach. And the defensive coach (Wilks/Rivera/Fox is FOREVER looking to find the next QB/OC.
The point: Great offensive minds/QB coaches don't stay assistants long. They become head coaches
