Quote:This isn't the old NFL anymore where QBs picked all the way at the top of the draft sit and learn behind a veteran.

 

When a QB gets picked at the top of the draft, it's because the team picking him is terrible and has a below average QB at the helm, hence the poor record.

 

When you look at most of the QBs taken over the last few years, and I mean at the top of the draft, most of them do look like they need to sit and learn.

 

What the Jags tried to do with sitting Bortles for the entire season last year, teams just don't do anymore, and as you saw last season, it didn't work then either.

 

Teddy got taken at the end of the first round and he didn't sit the whole season either.

 

A QB has to be taken in the later rounds, or go to a team with a good proven starter, for the team to just have him sit for an entire season or more.

 

That's just the way today's NFL is, Qbs taken at the top of the draft will get their starting shot very early in their careers, no matter what the team says about sitting them.

 

Both JW and Mariota will get the chance to start very early this upcoming NFL season, with JW probably starting game one and Mariota possibly game one or at least early into the season.
