I think the first part of your post is absolutely spot on - perhaps the best post in the entire thread.

I don't agree with the second half, that the QB position has been botched.  Far too early to say that.  I agree that DeVito looks as though he won't live up to the HS ratings -- he can certainly dispel that opinion, but things are not trending positively.  Amie is a *** up.  He was a nice get.  We don't know what we have in Summers.  We don't know what we have in Markiewicz or Morgan.  And Lamson is a very, very nice get in the latest class -- perhaps a kid who will end up as a four-star.

If you want to blame the staff for Chance's screw ups and what transpired, that's fine -- but the kid threw away a golden opportunity.  Maybe he would have beaten Tommy outright [and given us a dual threat in the mold of Dungey] if he'd been more focused.

Otherwise, the staff is doing what they should.  Trying to fill the QB room pipeline with prospects who fit the system, and letting things shake out.  What happens if Markiewicz ends up being a quality starter?  Or Summers?  Or Lamson?  All we know at this point is that DeVito seems to be busting.  That's not "botching" it -- QB  is a numbers game.  Even at the factories, they bring in top flight recruits at QB every year, and many don't have the chops and end up transferring.
