Let's not forget that there are always surprises at the quarterback position. Russell Wilson was a fourth rounder. Drew Brees was picked in the second. Aaron Rodgers and Dan Marino were both late first rounders. Dak Prescott was drafted in the fourth. Tom Brady was a 6th rounder. Kirk Cousins was a fourth rounder. Gardner Minshew has played better than a lot of quarterbacks drafted ahead of him this season. Nobody would have expected that.
I want the best quarterback possible. But, a lot of it comes down to the coaching staff as well. Look at the top quarterbacks and their coaches. Tom Brady has Bill Billichick. Drew Brees is paired with Sean Payton. Andy Reid has Pat Mahomes. Russell Wilson is coached by Pete Carol. That's why the progress of Miami's coaching staff is particularly important. I don't think it would have mattered if Adam Gase was here and Miami drafted Tua. He wouldn't have been nearly as good as expected.
