But adjusting to the speed of the game is not the only thing a college QB has to learn.
A rookie QB actually does learn a lot while sitting the first year, but since most top QB prospects go to teams that don't have a good QB the team has nothing to lose by allowing the rookie to "learn on the job".
A lot more rookie QBs start now than thy used to, but you still usually see a big improvement in the second year.
