Rookie QB's

   Let's talk rookie quarterbacks. Sit 'em or start 'em? Examples, Aaron Rodgers sat his first two years in the NFL behind a future hall of famer in Brett Favre and is now among the top 5 elite QBs. Ben Roethlisberger would have been sat but due to injury to Tommy Maddox he was forced to start his rookie season, Ben started 13 games that year. The team went 15-1 in his rookie season and the loss was actually in the game he was thrown into. Ben has won 2 Super Bowls and should be among the leagues elite top 5 QBs. Philip Rivers sat behind Drew Brees his first year then Brees tore up his throwing shoulder and Philip has been one of the top QBs in passing yards and touchdowns every year with mainly an above average wide receiver in Vincent Jackson and one of the top 3 tightends in Antonio Gates. Joey Harrington was considered on of the best Qbs out of the draft but was thrown into the mix immediately in Detroit and with an awful offensive line he took a beating and became scared in the pocket. Joey would tally up over 400 yards a game but would throw more interceptions than touchdowns. He later went to Miami where once again they had a bad offensive line and had the same outcome. Were Harrington benched his first two or three seasons to learn the NFL would he be in the talks of who is the top 5 QBs, we'll never know. Jamarcus Russell is considered the biggest bust in recent history. Mainly for him being the 1st overall pick in the draft and him being paid over 9 million dollars a year. Fist of all He was under a new head coach in Lane Kiffen who was fired shortly into his second season in his NFL coaching career and became the college head coach of Tennessee. Oakland was already in shambles and forced this kid to start on a team that Kerry Collins looked horrible on, Andrew Walter and Aaron Brooks shared the load the season previous and had the same outcome. Dante Culpepper would be Russell's mentor for his rookie season and yet Russell never became anything and recently was cut by the raiders. Of course i need to bring up Dan Marino who had a great rookie season and went on to become a hall of famer and then throw in Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco who had great rookie seasons, Ryan is a good quarterback and has a long career ahead of him, but Flacco is inconsistent and doesn't really impress me. Warren Moon and Jim Kelly also had great rookie season. Moon became the first African American QB to be elected to the Hall of Fame and when he retired led Professional Football in Passing yards, Touchdowns, Passing Completions, and Passing Attempts. Now we have Cam Newton blowing up secondaries in his first two games and looks like he could become a record breaker seeing how he already broke the record for most passing yards in a rookies' first two consecutive starts with 854. We shall see what is to come of Cam Newton, Blaine Gabbert who gets his first career start in the NFL this week and Andy Dalton who started his career off with a win but is now 1-1. In my opinion I believe this topic comes down to the individual your wanting to start or sit. Every single person is different and every situation is different so no two should be treated the same. What do you guys think?
