nero47 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Until the era of big rookie contracts and instant gratification, QB's Did not start in the NFL until their fourth or fifth year. The time to absorb the game took that long. Some were able to start immediately (ie- marino, good team instant stardom). Others even when thay started immediately took two to three years to develop into solid or star QB's (ie - Namath, Bradshaw, Aikman, Elway, and Kelly-who played in the "B" league his first years). JP when he leaves may or may not be a solid starter, but his time to show it would be now. sidenote - Rothlisberger started for a team that bulldozed its way. He is just now coming into his own. Rivers Finally got his major start last year on a very talented team. Prayerfully, we are now fielding a talented team to take the pressure off TE.
