There's far more bust that have started day 1 though. That's the thing, that's also why I think there is a better percentage that QB will become good-great if they sit. Rookie or not. Look at Tribusky for fugs sake. He looks lost out there. You sit him, and let him learn, I think he would be honestly better right now. 

Trubisky is playing in an all new offense for him. That would still be the case had he sat last year. Most of that "learning" he would've done would be worthless to him. Mahomes may turn out to be the better of the two, but he's in a much better situation right now. Much better surrounding offensive talent and he's been immersed in the same offensive system since the day he was drafted. 

I'm not sure if it's accurate that more busts have started from day one. 

Look at the Browns right now with Mayfield instead of Taylor. Bad teams need a spark. They need some hope. If the rookie is the best player, play him. It's dumb not to because of a mantra of forcing a rookie to sit. I'm not saying that every rookie should play right away and that some can't benefit from not playing right away, I'm just saying to play your best football players.

I'm pretty sure it is accurate. Think of all the QB's that have failed that started day 1. It's high man. REALLY high.

Those are the busts we usually remember most. It doesn't necessarily mean there's more of them. Until the rookie salary pool came along, most top 10 draft picks started right away no matter what simply because of the massive contract they signed. You can't sit a guy who's one of the highest paid players in the NFL at his position.

I still cant believe that Oklahoma Georgia game last year.  After Mayfield carved up that Georgia D in the first half.

Oklahoma's coach pretty mich took the ball out of his hands, and even OT where they loss I dont think they attempted a pass.
