2021- Matthew Stafford - not on a rookie deal
2020- Tom Brady - not on a rookie deal
2019- Patrick Mahommes -  rookie deal
2018- Tome Brady- not on a rookie deal
2017- Nick Foles- Not on a rookie deal
2016- Tom Brady- not on a rookie deal
2015- Peyton Manning- not on a rookie deal
2014- Tom Brady- not on a rookie deal
2013- Russell Wilson- rookie deal
2012- Joe Flacco- 5th year on the roster, not sure which contract.

So of the ten QBs, 2 of them were on rookie deals when they won the SB. Having a rookie QB on the cheap is great, but it's not the end all be all.

Brady skews that big time though. He was always making under his market value. Pistons is right, having an elite rookie QB is invaluable.
