Quote:So you don't get it, either.

 

Stats aren't development.

 

Guys don't suddenly "develop". Guys are developing over long stretches of time. Cecil developed just fine even though he was playing with someone as bad as Gabbert.

 

Demarius Thomas up in Denver developed just fine even though he was playing with Tebow and when a real QB came in he was already developed and ready to produce.

 

It doesn't matter if a guy has low stats. A decent GM can tell who is good, who is getting better, and which end of the passing game problems occur on.

 

So, I'm not afraid of a player "not developing" because we have a bad QB in the game, I'm more concerned with trying to get a better QB.

 

You're not some deep thinker. I get your point.  But, a player will only realize the fruits of their development when they have someone who is targeting them, and able to get them the ball to show it.  A good receiver on a team with an historically bad QB is not going to realize his potential, or come close to it in ay way.  It's not rocket science, but apparently you think there's some hidden secret only you're privileged to.
