No, it's not.
But there is a huge difference between actually developing a QB, quietly, whether it be as a second or third stringer, and starting a QB that is clearly not ready to start.
Out of the 2013 QB class, I preferred Manuel and Bray due to their ideal size and arm strength. Contrary to what all of the SEC and Florida fans said this offseason, Manuel doesn't "suck" and he has a ton of potential. He's also NFL ready as a starter.
The other players in this draft are not.
Bray is only 21 years old. If he can stay out of trouble and focus on football, he's in a great position to challenge for the starting spot in 2015, in which he'd only be 23 years old to start the season.
IMO, the Chiefs currently have the best of both worlds. A solid NFL starting QB and a young developmental QB. I'm not sure what else people could expect, especially after the past six seasons.
