The reason Alex has "lasted" so long in regards to being a starter are simple. Everyone who followed his journey closely knows very well that he was given horseshit and asked to make Filet mignon with it. When conditions finally improved around Alex, hey what do you know? So did he.

Steve Young played 19 games for TB as a rookie and 2nd year player and than was brought in as a backup for 4 years. I'm not seeing how that's similar to a 29 year old with 80 starts and brought in to be the starting QB?
Hey, you know what? When Alex cut his attempts from 30 to 20 a game his QB rating started going up and he quit throwing so many picks since he was only throwing 2/3 of the time.
But yes. You're right Alex is a guy that needs to have a dominate offensive line and denfense to be servicable at QB. I will give you that one.
