Players with what is seen as a high level of athletic talent, not all of which has been tapped, are always overdrafted. It's like the girl who settles for a dysfunctional guy thinking she can change him. "If he could just improve his footwork" "If he could just learn to read defenses" "if we could just fix his throwing motion".

Maybe it's just me, but can anyone remember someone who had problems like these that suddenly changed in the pros?

Some players like Matt Ryan seem to grow naturally, becoming stronger at their strengths and wiser through experience. But players like Cam Newton don't suddenly become mature, Tebow has yet to improve his accuracy, Cassel never developed pocket presence, accuracy, or anything else...

I think we as fans believe QBs can change but they don't change very much. It seems like they are what they are an the best you can get is an experienced version of what they are today.

Maybe it's just me.

Wasn't (name your favorite great QB) basically what he was when he was drafted, only younger?

Talent and intangibles are sometimes overlooked but measurables never are. Guys with measurables and question marks elsewhere get overdrafted. The guys who are the opposite don't.
