You have that right! It is rare indeed.
You take ANY sport, and great rookies are rare.
This isn't college, or Triple A anymore. This is the real deal.
Some can handle it, some can't. and many have been mentioned in this thread.
btw:
Did you see how Peyton managed his offense last weekend? Calling off the punting team! Well, I for one am impressed.
Great QB's are indeed rare, and should be appreciated. Even when they are great rookies.
