I agree that some QBs like Romo, Brady, Marino and Roethlisburger are able to play well right away. For every one of those there are ten others who's first season as a starter is pretty rocky. For a team that was in the NFC championship game last year I think it is a very big mistake to go with a first year starter. So many hotshot college QBs flame out in the pros. There is no way to really know how they will handle the pressure until they are the starter. His struggles are almost certain to cost them a few games and probably the playoffs.
