My point here is that franchise quarterbacks aren't drafted; they are cultivated. To get from point-A to point-B, a team needs to bring a talented quarterback into a situation where they are given the opportunity to learn a system and surrounded with blue chip talent. Under these conditions, talented quarterbacks can become "franchise quarterbacks."

Dude great post.
I agree 100%.
I a 'franchise QB' first requires a competent franchise.
Imo its nearly impossible to have a 'franchise QB' for a bad franchise.
I think the reason why
some QBs 'bust' is because their franchises didn't know how or couldn't build a good enough team around them to be successful and instead of admiting this and changing as a franchise they change QBs. Then rinse wash repeat.
Sometimes the QBs they cast off go somewhere else and have success.
