This one is pretty big for me too. I'm usually in favor of replacing the underperforming old vet with the young gunslinger, but even I am surprised at how well the majority of them have played.
I heard a segment on Mike & Mike this morning about this subject. Of the four quarterbacks that replaced uninjured vets, Leinart is the only one with a losing record. Romo is 4-1, Young is 4-4, and Campbell is 1-1. I guess that kind of goes against the belief that putting in a young quarterback is a give up move.
