Anyone know?
And did it work out?

I don't know the last time, but Peyton Manning started all 16 games his rookie season so I assume there was some amount of hoopla there. I would say that worked out.

Eli didn't start his first game, neither did Roethlisberger

Well more recently wouldn't we say Stafford was named early on? I was going to say Andy Dalton but if I'm not mistaken I think he had to win the job... maybe not. How about Sanchez? didn't the take him right after Favre left.
