I will consider him a success if he provides top 10 QB play for a decade. It takes a team to win a championship not one stud QB just ask Dan
I'm not really trying tp predict what kind of career Tua will have, more trying to figure out what type of career will he need to have for people to be satisfied with paying the cost. For example as good as Aaron Rodgers has been, if Tua puts up big numbers for his career and leads Miami to one Super Bowl championship is that enough? Or if he has a Matt Ryan type of career with one super bowl appearance but no championships is that enough? Once you pay the price of two or three 1st round picks does the qb need to bring you two or three super bowl appearances to justify the cost?

There are 32 starting QBs in the NFL. That doesn't mean I would want all of them as the starter for my team.There are at least 6 potential starting QBs in this draft.
If you have a high grade on one of less popular choices, you can easily get your man.
Who are you referring to specifically?I completely reject the concept of drafting QBs that RELY on their mobility for just this reason-- their careers are MUCH more likely to be short, and while a pocket QB can shake off lower body injuries (how many scopes did Dan have?), the leg QB can't.
We see it over and over... after a few years, their coaches BEG them to stop running, and most don't... ending up like Cam Newton.
I hear guys say, but if he gets us to the playoffs right away... I don't care if his productive career is only 8 or 9 years.
Pfft.

That’s a fact.
However, it’s not really addressing the point. There’s more than one way to win a Super Bowl. You can do it the right way and still never win one. You’re not guaranteed anything no matter how you do it.
What the NFL realizes is that the only one way to have the biggest window to put yourself in position to be a contender for the playoffs and a shot at winning a Super Bowl is having a better quarterback than everybody else, or having a better quarterback than most everybody else.
All the other pieces are going to change with the wind no matter what. You always want that one constant to be your quarterback being better than everybody else’s.
Quarterbacks are the biggest factor in terms of winning and losing games over the long haul above anything else.
If you’re trying to build a team to win a Super Bowl you’ve already failed. The goal is to build a foundation that makes your window as big as possible. That foundation begins and ends with the quarterback position.
