1st & 10 | The Complete Blue Bombers QB Picture

Yes they effectively are saying that.

People are posting that If your not good immediately you are a waste of which time means coaching can't help. There are lots of examples that show otherwise.

Bo Levi on Milanovitch, for example.

" That set the stage for one of the best stretches of Mitchell's career.

"I think he thought maybe I'd been too far in my career and was a lost cause as far as being able to teach an old dog new tricks, but I just put my head down and tried to attack the game as if I was a brand new quarterback learning from him," the Katy, Tex. native recalled.

"Just accept the fact of who this guy is and how much knowledge he has in this game. He's got a PhD in this game and multiple times. Our relationship is awesome. I can tell it's growing," he said. "It's been one that's been growing, blossoming, but just all the respect for him."

 NFL has a few very good examples right now. Sam Darnold for instance. Third pick in the draft, then... A complete washout, now playing for first place. Thanks to coach Kevin OConnell.

Sure, good coaches create good offenses that allow players to succeed at what they do best (Dinwiddie with Arbuckle this season).

But QBs come in with 15 years of development before they even hear of the CFL, some from programs with much better coaching than the CFL has to offer.

Having Scott Milanovich doesn't turn Wilson into a good prospect all of a sudden.

Also the CFL has different things for QB's to learn. 12 men, motion, bigger field and faster time between plays. Most QB's are not coming from Canadian programs.

But Scott might be a unique case in that he's the QB Whisperer and HC.  I'm not sure some dude coming in, and (usually) only staying 1-3 seasons then leaving, is going to really help Zach find his second wind or Wilson become Mahomes.

I guess it is possible.  But not likely, especially if the QB coach is a low-pay position and the dudes may be younger than the vet QB they are coaching!
