When it comes to the care and feeding of rookie quarterbacks, NFL coaches are clueless. They can beat the Tampa 2, they can create endless stunts and blitzes, they can detail the intricacies of the spread offense, but they can’t figure out how to handle a rookie QB. NFL teams spend millions of dollars on wildly successful college QBs and then they turn them over to their coaches and cross their fingers.

    Not every team is like that. Since 1969, there have been more Popes than Steelers Head Coaches.

      That’s fair, but how many losing seasons have they had since then? You don’t fire success, unless you’re the Bears firing Smith after going 10-6 but kissing the playoffs
