Trying to find a young QB i can build a team around that doesn't already start out amazing like Cam Newton for example (I want a challenge)

Maybe Jake Locker or Ponder or Mallett. IDK.

Anybody with experience with those guys have opinions? How do they progress after a few years, etc.

Thanks for any and all suggestions!

Ryan Mallet and Ricky Stanzi are my favs.

Jerrod Johnson, Terrelle Pryor, Tim Tebow, Curtis Painter, Dan LeFevour, and Joe Webb would be other good options.

Don't forget Andy Dalton.

He'll drive you crazy year 1 trying to throw the deep ball but after that he gets really good.

Any young QB that fits your style will work if you are willing to put in the time with him to get good with them.

I just put up 253 yards and 2 TDs with Thad Lewis( Former Duke QB ) I am about to start a Denver franchise around him. He is rated low like Tyrell Pryor and Joe Webb but he can still get it done.

Christian Ponder is another good option, and as much as I hate to say it being a Duke fan, the Texans TJ Yates may be good too

Thanks for the suggestions so far guys!

I usual go for pocket passers but I think I'll go with somebody a little more mobile this time around..Im leaning towards Tebow or Locker.

Don't forget Kaepernick if you want a mobile QB.

I like Newton, strong arm, good accuracy, great acceleration, Only negative is he fumbles a lot if you don't slide.
Locker possibly, has good speed and throwing power but no accuracy.
Gabbert is good to use, he is only 21 so he has a lot of time left.
Dalton- nothing special.
Ponder- decent but their are better QB's

I acquired Mallett in my first season with the Seahawks. He isn't very mobile, but I rarely run with the QB anyway. What matters to me is that he's got incredible arm strenth and quite good accuracy.
I'm in season two now, and he moved up from 71 OVR to 77 OVR. As he's only 23, I'll expect him to improve further.
