Only Mahomes is close to being a recent example, because they stopped doing it after the Rookie Wage Scale... the whole point Palmer was making.

Before that, though, there were a lot of extremely successful QBs who sat. There are currently 4 active QBs right now who are already destined to end up in the Hall of Fame. Brady, Brees, Rodgers, Rivers. All four of them sat.

Of the next tier who probably will get in based off multiple SB wins (Roethlisberger, Eli Manning) one of them are on the list, too.

Meanwhile the best QB in the NFL under the age of 30 (Mahomes) is also on that list.

That's pretty telling.
