Quote:No, but even the best in the game normally have a transition period.

 

Yes, but its usually very short. Rodgers was a strange situation in which Favre simply didn't want to stop playing. Sitting on the bench holding a clipboard or taking a few snaps with the 1s in practice rarely does any true developing. That is not to say QBs have reached their ceiling but that a prospect who is deficient in critical areas at the college level rarely "develops" and greatly improves on those deficiencies. Was Gabbert ever going to improve his pocket presence, a skillset that is mostly based on instinct? Leftwich with the windup?
