You often hear the term rookie QB mistake when that specific player is actually a rookie. But then you see alot of vets or 3 yr players make the same ones, sometimes more than they supposed to. We know the great ones make less thats why they become great.

But To what extent is it a rookie mistake? Or is it just a term used loosely??

used all the time.

when a veteran makes a mistake he shouldn't have made because of his experience in the league.
 
And it's not just football.

Like if you put your weiner through a wood gloryhole without checking to see if there's duct tape around the inside edge.

THAT'S a rookie mistake.

Not that I'd know anything about that sort of thing.
 
For me, it is different if the QB is a rookie.

A true rookie might do things like hold the ball too long trying to always make a play and end up with bad sacks, or even getting hurt. He needs to learn to live for another day and leave that play in the rear view mirror.

A vet might get suckered into an interception with disguised coverage.

One of the things that would drive me crazy about Tanny is he would take a bad sack on third and long that took us out of position for a game winning field goal. A guy has been playing football all his life, and he allows the one thing to happen that he has to know he can't let happen. More like a blonde moment that a mistake.

A rookie mistake is made out of lack of knowledge or experience, a common mistake is made out of lack of focus, or many more things that dont involve lack of knowledge or experience. IMO

Agree, but I'll add a qualifier. With 2 min left in 4Q, down by 8, commentators will note the 'mistake' the QB made in attempting a throw. That's not a mistake - that's having to take chances. which gets me to . . . rookies can make mistakes by being too cautious or, conversely, taking added risks. Vets seldom make those mistakes.

The name Bitch Trubisky comes to mind. He was a mistake when he made any teams draft board and made rookie mistakes from day one until he was released.
