How does a top 10 pick go to 5 teams in 4 years? What's the issue here and is it fixable?

Well... for one, top 10 picks can be busts... with that said, not sure it's fair to label him as such just yet. The Cards picked him at #10 but before he had a chance to really make a splash, they ended up changing coaches and had a #1 overall pick... as expected, they picked their guy and it appears it was a good pick. Shipped him to the Phins, who then basically ended up doing the same thing (drafting Tua highly). His 3rd team was the Buccs on the practice squad with Tom Brady doing Brady things, and then he had a short stint at the 49ers but they were just trying to fill in and the established backup there (Beathard) was honestly not awful... he was really just insurance in case Beathard went down, given all the other challenges they were facing. Now that they drafted Trey Lance, he clearly wasn't going to be the guy.

I think if he was that exceptionally good, at least one of the 3 teams that drafted a QB would have had a harder time doing so... so best guess, leaves something to be desired still... but who knows...
