College Football is full of these guys. Some of the recent SEC examples at QB include.
Matthew Stafford
Jason Campbell
Brodie Croyle
Chris Leak
The point is developing QB's (as a general rule) takes time. Most of these guys played early because their schools did not have other options.

are there any examples where a player just wasn't cutting it over a long period of time and the coach stuck with the player and the player just magically began to shine and play at a high level?
that's a loaded question mack. in my life experience i have seen MANY PEOPLE THAT GAVE IT THEIR BEST not only came on to shine but to excell. they adapted and developed a toughness that served them well for their entire career. oh, and i've hired many professionals so i have experience in what i say. i see two flaws in your question though. the first is when you say a long period of time; that is up for interpretation to define a long period of time and the second is you phrase "magically began to shine". not only is the definition of shine debateable (sp), but magically conotes "all of a sudden". generally, the process is not magical nor intstantaneous. as far as football (i am a retired sales manager in a very competitive business) goes, i'll bet there are literally thousands of examples where that has occured.

Didn't Drew Brees have some bad early years in the pros?

did a little research and found something a little sobering regarding the "end results" for QBs and WRs from The Hat's Okie State tenure....quote:
I don't remember a single damn one of them.
OMG, we are doomed for sure!!!!
If your definition of doomed is "History tends to repeat itself. As such - QBs and WRs will remain in the system for their entire 4 years and post workmanlike numbers but not the type of results that are NFL Draft-worthy" - Then yes. It seems there's a good chance we're doomed.

that's a loaded question mack.
So, again, I'm not drafting questions for the SAT, just looking for info or discussion.

No, it's not based on that premise. It contains that premise as a condition for the analysis.
Don't try so hard to be clever.
I'm not trying to impress you.
You asked a dumb question. I told you why it was dumb. Simple as that.
