What’s an example of a another quarterback like Mac Jones that experts were really trying to force to be better than he clearly was?

I've moved on from the Watson idea. Let the process play out, but no chance you can make that move as things stand.
Guitardeac, how did your source not see this coming? Did this really take the Texans and Panthers by surprise?
I think it did. From what I gathered it was a total bombshell out of nowhere.
Here’s Tepper’s philosophy. At Appaloosa, for the most important job (by far) on his team he hires the best possible person no matter the cost. And he doesn’t hire an unproven rookie and hope and wait he turns out to be great. He doesn’t have time for that and the learning curve is too costly. For the most important job you hire a damn stud and sure thing. You do what it takes to make that happen and your business will be successful. Certainly, QB is that job on the football team he owns. Now, this Watson thing keeps getting worse and I’m sure there’s limits to what Tepper can swallow (not a real good use of terms there) for that philosophy. I will find out more probably this saturday night. I also think that Tepper in the end will listen to Rhule and Fitterer. You have to remember, Rhule has extreme and I mean extreme confidence in his ability to make a player reach his potential. Tepper does as well.
It would take a perfect storm for Tepper to be talked into a rookie QB and I don’t see that happening at pick 8. But minds change and who knows? Like I said, I’m sure I will find out some more this weekend and I will report back and help out best I can.
I've started to get on the Kellen Mond bandwagon.

The more this situation develops, the more confident I am that Teddy should be our QB this season. I'd like to judge him after a real offseason and pre-season, and with the opportunity to play with CMC, arguably the best offensive weapon in football. Teddy isn't going to carry the team, but I don't think he has to. Right now, we have a glaring hole at TE. Fixing that with a guy like Pitts lifts the entire offense.
I'm more than happy to watch 4 qbs go in the first 7 picks. Give me Pitts, Parsons, or Sewell. Take a guy like Mond in the 3rd or 4th round and hope to hit big.
In the 1st or 2nd? I like him a lot more than Trask, but I'm still iffy on him as a legit franchise QB. I liken him to Hurts last year. Chris Simms likes him, so he has that going for him.
If we do not trade any picks, I like him with our 3rd round pick. I think second round is pushing it.
