I am generally the guy saying more or less these words. These ugly ducklings are mostly just young ugly ducks.
Not sold that Tua sets up as a lost cause, but I get it.
In fairly recent years, I'd guess Alex Smith is probably the best example of a guy who looked like he wasn't even NFL caliber, and then later put together a pretty respectable NFL career. The jump from so-so to actually above average following a team change feels like it's Ryan Tannehill.
But they are the exceptions that partially prove the rule. Most of them are just ugly ducks.
