I have always been of the opinion that rookie quarterbacks should be thrown to the wolves from Day One. Aikman and Manning are examples of this. I firmly believe that you're going to find out one way or the other if the quarterback you selected is the guy whether it's year one or year three.

However, there's still something to be said for playing the guy that gives you the best chance to win. Right now, that person is Mark Brunell. Therefore, the "Thrown to the Wolves" rule really only applies to teams like the Texans or Browns. But if you're the Redskins, unless Brunell really stinks it up in preseason, he's the starter without question.
