Let's remember that the Steelers cut Len Dawson, or let's remember Kurt Warner's journey to becoming a star QB. Successful QBs don't always find said success with the team that drafted them.
QB is probably the hardest position in sports to accurately evaluate at the highest professional level. For every Peyton Manning there are probably 10 Ryan Leafs, or Andrew Lucks versus Trey Lances, etc.
Or even worse, you have situations like drafting a Todd Blackledge over a Jim Kelly or a Dan Marino.

Johnny Unitas famously was cut by the Steelers.
