I have no idea why teams do that. Look at Zach Wilson and Jordan Love. Both guys were raw as hell but had really high ceilings bc they were mobile players with really strong arms that could make off platform throws the way Mahomes does regularly.
One sat and learned behind a veteran QB with absolutely no pressure. The other was the “savior” in NYC Ana thrown out there immediately in bad conditions.
People forget that Jordan Love looked horrible when he first started. Spags blitzed him relentlessly when we played him and he looked like a deer in the headlights. But GB put him in the film room and taught him to read defenses and now he looks like a top 10 QB.
Teams need to learn the Packer way. Andy sure did with Mahomes.
