ceviker Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Sorry if this has been talked before, but: Does anyone have a list of succesful QB's in the NFL who sat on the bench the first two years after being drafted and then starting the 3rd year? I was just curious and couldn't think of anyone off the top of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-O-G Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Off the top of my head, Carson Palmer Eli Manning Dante Culpepper I think McNabb? You dont have anything to worry about, with Saunders and the talent around him he will be a good Quarterback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dont have anything to worry about, with Saunders and the talent around him he will be a good Quarterback. Palmer only sat one year and Manning and McNabb were playing before the end of their first year. Culpepper I think sat for 2 years and Pennington was either two or three so there is precident but I'd like to see Campbell come September.

Heidenreich Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 The 2 year quarterbacks are Chad Pennington (I think) and Steve McNair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldskool Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 quaterbacks for the most part, do not do well when thrown into the fire. Look at the leagues most sucessful qb's right now. None of them set the wold on fire by starting as rookies. Manning had 26TD's but 28 INT's in his first season. QB's need to sit a year or two, absorb the playbook and get used to seeing the game at NFL speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enter Apotheosis Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Didn't Favre set awhile with Atlanta? Favre sat out his first (and only) year with Atlanta. He started 13 games for Green Bay in his second season... and didn't really stop from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Gibbs II Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Steve Young sat for a while, Mark Brunell sat, hasselbeck, aaron brooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enter Apotheosis Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Steve Young is probably the best example. He was on the bench for 3 or 4 years behind Joe Montana, wasn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just curious and couldn't think of anyone off the top of my head. Mark Rypien won a super bowl after he was on teh bench for over two years. Gibbs picked him in the 6th round and developed him into a great QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishOrange15 Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Pennington is the best example since he barely played at all his first two years with the Jets. He was also not supposed to be the starter in year three, but Testaverde stunk so bad they gave him a shot. Pennington gets a lot of flack now, but when he's healthy he's a really good QB. McNair had 144 passing attempts in his second year. I don't know if he started those games or not, but my guess is he started a few. He didn't become a real good QB in the league until his 7th year. Young is a poor example since he played in the USFL, then went to Tampa and played at both places before coming to San Francisco. Culpepper only sat his first year. Rich..........

FootballGuy2677 Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Didn't Favre set awhile with Atlanta? Favre sat 3 seasons or 2 1/2 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Diggler Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Steve Young is probably the best example. He was on the bench for 3 or 4 years behind Joe Montana, wasn't he? Young is sort of an unconventional example. He played 1984 in the USFL and then was drafted by Tampa Bay in 1985. He played a little in 1985, a lot in 1986 and then was traded to San Fran. He then sat for 4 years in San Fran before taking over in 1991. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirk Diggler Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Favre sat 3 seasons or 2 1/2 seasons. Favre sat his rookie year in Atlanta, was traded to Green Bay that offseason, and then played early in his 2nd year when Don Majokoski got injured (1992). He hasn't missed a game since.
