Besides his ceiling is great pocket QB and he's way closer to actually being that than Trey is to being unicorn dual threat QB.
This ceiling philosophy is so wrong, and if a person can't use this experience to learn this they never will. There's more than one way to be a great QB and you don't need plus physical skills to get there.
I disagree. The problem is you don't draft a guy with a high ceiling who has crippling defects related to basic QB play. If the high ceiling guy is struggling because he's inaccurate a
or a beat slow to react, you pass. If instead it's a guy who just makes dumb, greedy decisions, that can often be coached out.
Examples:
Favre
Mahomes
