Because teams that get poor performance out of the top 5 get tunnel vision and don't realize when they got a lemon. And a lot of that is because the GM forces the coach to start a lousy QB because of the huge contract they get and because they don't want to admit they made a mistake.
It took a ton of convincing to convince the Jags to give up on Leftwich, the Lions to give up on Harrington, the Cards on Leinart, etc.... If you're not careful on the draft pick franchise QB decision, it's a decision that could drag your franchise down for 3 years.
I'm fine with the Chiefs drafting a QB in the top 3. But they need to treat that QB like everybody else and only hand them and let them keep a job if they deserve it. We saw in Arizona how anxious they always were to use Leinart, even if Warner performed extremely well.
