It's called history and common sense.
A rookie no matter how good cannot be consistent enough while learning the game to allow a team to play at a championship level.
A rookie QB can start of course.
However, a rookie will make too many mistakes and have too great a learning curve to give a vet team such as the Fins a chance to win the Super Bowl NOW.
Success for this Fins team is not a 8-8, 9-7 rebuild year.
That's why a rookie QB cannot successfully start for this team next year.
This team needs to bring in a vet to win now and a rookie for the future.
