Unfortunately, most of you guys are too impatient for this to every happen. 99.95% of QBs coming into the league simply aren't ready for the speed/complexity of the game in their first year. Throwing them out there will do nothing but stunt their growth.
Even history shows this mostly. You think the Skins would have won shit if Gibbs threw a rookie QB into his offense the first year? Fuck no.

Times have changed now. QB's that are drafted high are normally going to a bad team and have to get on the field. Also during Gibbs 1 he had a established starter in Theismann. He didn't have to go out and draft a guy in 81. During his first go around the highest guy drafted was Jay Schreoder which I think was a 3rd rounder and that was while JT was still starting.
I think Green Bay has done an outstanding job w/ their QB's. They don't care if they have a starter that's entrenched. They'll draft someone and won't give a damn if it hurts the starters feelings.
