Quote:Then you have green bay that had one and got another. Giving them time to develop is just as important and has proven to work more often than just throwing a first round to the wolves

5 of the 12 playoff teams 'threw their quarterbacks' to the wolves, and didn't wait for them to develop.  Peyton Manning also started his career during his first year.  Meaning half of the playoff teams didn't have QB's that were wait and develop, while half of them did.  

 

Of the 6 teams that did not have QB's that weren't thrown out there in their first game:

-2 of them were not on the team they were originally drafted by

-2 of them were on a team with a solid QB situation already

-2 of them was on a team with a solid stop-gap situation

 

I'm not sure how many Quarterbacks have sat behind back-up quality players and gone on to be great for their team.  Most likely because the back-up quality players are... back-up quality.
