Don’t forget the Bengals drafted Carson in 2003 but he sat behind Jon Kitna his entire rookie year. Did that make Carson more successful in 2004 and 2005? Oh yes it did!
Having rookie QBs sit and be mentored for at least a year used to be the norm.
Even Brady was sitting behind Bledsoe until he got hurt.
