1.  They already threw the whole staff away once. How many times do you do that? If you're Kahn and TC is telling you it's not the staff, do you fire the (fairly new) staff and keep the QB who has sucked the better part of 5 years? 
The kid has worked w/ Tom Brady's throwing coach for 4 offseasons and he still can't throw a football. It's not the coaches.

2.  Sometimes blaming the player for being worse than originally evaluated is simply the correct assessment.
Especially with first round quarterbacks since they are routinely overdrafted year after year.

I hear ya.  Its just we have been missing on QBs for over a decade.  The last i heard about TC and the thoughts on BB5, is they wanted to keep him as the starter and thats why we didnt go QB last year.  We not only didnt go QB to keep Blake as a starter but we didnt draft him any help whatsoever.  TC is cool but someone has to be at fault for this decision making process.
