Who knows who they are, and what years they did it? I had to look it up last night to confirm what I thought.

EDIT: To hell with it, I'll divulge:

Chris Weinke - 2001 at Minnesota
Matt Moore - 2007 vs. Seattle
Kyle Allen - 2018 at New Orleans

Of the other four rookie quarterbacks to start a game, it took Kerry Collins (1995) three games to win; Randy Fasani (2002) never won in two starts; Jimmy Clausen (2010) needed eight starts to win and Cam Newton (2011) only needed three.

I vividly remember Weinke and Co upsetting the almighty Vikings (no joke) at that time, only to REALLY suck the rest of the season.

I still remember Biakabutuka fumbling the ball out of the back of the end zone in that game.

A young rookie KR opened the season by taking the kickoff to the house.

His name was Steve Smith.

I did not look at the answers--wanted to guess so I scrolled down:

I am going to guess

Kyle Allen--the other day.

Jake Delhomme--2002

Steve Berlein--can't remember year

(LOOKED AT ANSWERS)    VVVVV

I remember the Weinke--he was from minnesota--went 1-15 that season.

Did not think of Moore.  My guesses sucked.

My mind went to Delhomme as well but he was not a rookie and i was thinking of when he came in to replace Rodney Peete (was at that game and the only time I sat in a box)

Rookie?  I missed that little detail.

Weinke should have been obvious--went 1-15 that season.

Never would have guessed Moore.

The only "rookie" on that list is Weinke.  The others were in the league for several years on various rosters or practice squads.  I wouldn't consider that rookies.    

Moore and Allen were both rookie UDFAs.

Not by us.  Moore was on Dallas's practice squad for two seasons.  He played in the preseason with Dallas before he was plucked off thier practice squad.

Allen has been in the league for 4 years now.  That's not what you call rookies.

Are you joking? Surely you're not that dumb.

Kyle Allen was at the University of Houston last year. That's not an NFL team. image.png.61703c9b7c4dadfceda72a2408e3c2a8.png

Matt Moore was not on Dallas' practice squad for two seasons. He was at Oregon State in 2006. He started for us in December of 2007. His rookie season was 2007. image.thumb.png.14c1daa032c13888709c47590795270b.png

      Known Prospect Meetings with Panthers

      Taking only players from the sheet that are realistically available in or after the listed round, I’d like… 1st: DT Caleb Banks (Styles not realistic) 2nd: LB Jacob Rodriguez 3rd: OT Best available from Bowry, Barber, and Casey 4th: CB Daylen Everette 5th: S Jalen Huskey 6th: RB Adam Randall 7th: IOL Best available from Lemieux, Dawkins, Leausa, and Brose   I know nothing about some of the players listed, but it seems like that would be the best way it could fall for now. I’m sure the list of who we meet will change a ton, and there will also be players we don’t meet with to keep quiet. I’d love to pick up Randall in the late rounds.

      Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Not what I said. They know within the building why we aren't utilizing TEs more. If the rumors were true that we were seriously pursuing a couple of decent receiving TEs that strongly points toward a lack of quality receiving TEs currently on the roster. Does that mean we consider drafting one at 19? I don't know, but it wouldn't shock me and if we did there's only one guy it would be. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see TE drafting somewhere in the first three rounds.

      Yeah, I don’t know. Tepper was behind the Bryce selection. Behind firings and hiring over his lack of development.  He doesn’t have to literally tell them their hands are tied for them to know this. It is in the air constantly. The Canales Bryce play calling was even portrayed by more than one person as Canales failing Bryce, instead of Bryce being responsible for his own performance (except when he does well, then it is all him). Now they have an extra coach in, to help the new OC get results from this QB.  The atmosphere is not welcoming to prototypical young QBs that have talent. You get Jake Plummer types or old vets. I think we are stuck.
