When he had to make a play to save his team...he couldn't.
It's very hard to play 3 games where things stay completely on script in the NFL against other good teams.
Compare what Kirk Cousins did to Mahomes or Rogers...does it look like he should be paid 60% of what they are based on stats. Probably not. But come the key moment, nobody is taking Kirk over those guys.
I guess you draft a QB hope he founds a wildly successful clothing brand, marries a Supermodel worth 9 figures, and keeps playing the game as a 20 million dollar a year hobby for an extra 10 years?

Still crazy that Brady was picked in the 6th round when he showed his character at Michigan. He barely lost a game, Hensen did. Should have been like a 3rd rounder.
That said, history would have been interesting if he had lost the tuck rule game.
