But building a solid all-around team with a solid QB is a LOT EASIER to do than finding an "elite QB." Too many teams ignore doing the rest of the work as they engage on one wild-goose-chase after another seeking the semi-mythical "great" QB.
No one says that you can keep looking for a great QB
while you build a good overall team. If one comes along, sure - grab him.
But that's not what happens. Teams throw away solid QBs that they can win a lot a games with in a frantic, panicked search for "THE GUY." Squandering resources grabbing up one false hope after another.
Or else the Front Office uses the QB position as an excuse why they can't build a winner, rather than admitting to their own incompetence...
