There's quiet a few QBs that I think could have been great but were just selected by the wrong team and placed into the wrong environment to develop. Just off the top of my head: Jake Plummer, David Carr, and Cade Mcnown. Actually I think Alex wouldn't been playing with PTSD if he wouldn't have had such instability in coaching early in his career. Let's GO PM2!

I wonder how many guys could have been Hall of Famers, but just ended up on the wrong team. There has to be a significant number of them. I think back, and guys like Greg Hill and Larry Johnson got hosed by being drafted by the Chiefs, because they languished on the bench.
