It's definitely not a bad way to go, basically roll the dice and see what you get. Of course there are also several examples of quarterbacks taking time to blossom, some bouncing around from spot to spot, like Vinny Testaverde. Alex Smith is the other one who comes to mind - definitely got better with experience.
Given that RG3 and Cousins still fit the mold of young'ns with something to prove, I'd rather have McCoy than a rookie at the 3rd spot on the depth chart.
