Pros and Cons of Starting Rookie QBs

Warren Sapp said that as a defender, the thought of facing a rookie QB had him salivating (he's against it).

Jeff Saturday said he was for it. However, Rich Eisen pointed out to Saturday that the only QB he's ever worked with is Peyton Manning, so his view might be a little skewed.

Eisen asked about the lockout affecting the ability of teams to work with new QBs. Saturday said they'll get a playbook one way or the other, rules or no rules (I agree on this point).

Saturday was pretty funny in that video. For that that haven't/won't watch it Saturday says he thinks (stutters and sounds like he almost said "hopes") Carolina will take Newton. If he was thinking "hopes" the question I have is whether that's the UNC alumni speaking hoping for the best for the team, or is it the player for another NFL team speaking hoping for the worst for the team.

Summary please... Me fone no play de videos.

Warren states that rookie QBs should wait and learn before starting. Jeff states that it shouldnt matter because when you put them on the field their newbies anway. Towards the end they bring up the lockout and Jeff says dont be surprised if QB prospects get playbooks. He mentions Newton for example

I havent heard that. Is there an article or video link?

He's said it a few times, generally when talking about Clausen.

Might have said it in his initial presser, but I don't remember for sure. Pretty sure it came up in his first interview on WFNZ.

(don't have links handy, but you might find them on forum backpages)

It doesn't have to be an either/or thing. Say you have a rookie learning under a vet starter. Train the rookie up on a couple of packages where they can get a series in every now and then. Get them used to the speed of the game, while still having them spend most of their time watching and learning how to be a pro.

Once the rookie starts to catch on, you can begin to think about a larger role.
