Rare, yes. But wasn't Dak a 4th rounder? Would you take that 4th rounder today to start versus what we have? Hoping Beck surprises us.

Dak also showed out in camp and preseason. If Beck doesn't do that, then I don't expect him to be the answer. Players that have got it, tend to have it right away, not develop it.

Believe Mahomes didn't start until the last game of his rookie year. And, don't forget Aaron Rodgers and David Carr.

Yes, and another thing is that Prescott was a 5th year senior, 23 years old as well and started 33 games (played in 49) in college. You can also include Russell Wilson who also was a 5th year senior, also 23 years old, and had started 50 games.

Certainly not all that are a little bit older-, very experienced-, and very successful quarterbacks become great in the NFL, but on the other hand, none of the opposite QB-profile (very high potential, but not much more) ever becomes an NFL success. You would have to go all the way back to Kirk Cousins in 2012 to find someone that did not have a lot of success in college but managed to turn it around in the NFL. And even Cousins had a lot of starting experience.

very successful quarterbacks

Citation needed on Beck

A big disconnect on this board is that many folks say Brissett is terrible but also say he needs to be off the roster for Beck to get a shot. If Beck is good, he will start sooner rather than later. Brissett is not going to block Beck unless Beck is just not good.

Your crusade to belittle Beck becomes even more pathetic when you try to argue that 37-6, an SEC Championship, an appearance in the National Championship Game, and the second-most wins in a three-year span in FBS history is not necessarily very successful.
