Just doesn't seem smart to me to spend a ton on a QB that you didn't bother to protect. Younger guys need more time find the open man and make the completion. Better have a good line and someone to throw to in front of them...

Something I've learned in the last few years of observing (watching the Broncos juggle) the quarterback position: teams don't spend a lot of money protecting a third round quarterback. Third round quarterbacks either sink or swim. Teams don't seem to be willing to invest a lot of money protecting a third round quarterback because they don't have a lot invested in them. It's not much of a priority.
First round quarterbacks, on the other hand seem to get protection. Teams have a lot more invested in them, and put a higher priority on finding them adequate protection.
