When will NFL teams learn, you can’t rush a rookie QB onto the field

NFL coaches know a lot about X's and O's, but managing rookie QBs, not so much.

When it comes to the care and feeding of rookie quarterbacks, NFL coaches are clueless. They can beat the Tampa 2, they can create endless stunts and blitzes, they can detail the intricacies of the spread offense, but they can’t figure out how to handle a rookie QB. NFL teams spend millions of dollars on wildly successful college QBs and then they turn them over to their coaches and cross their fingers.
