Like you said the days of giving them a year on the bench or more are gone unless they were drafted later on and still had a lot to learn. But if we take a guy in the first round I wouldn't be suprised if he was the starter from day 1, recent evidence has shown that putting a guy in there early and letting him take his lumps hasn't proven to be a bad thing.

I only say that because Cutler sat until week 13 during his rookie year, and probably would have sat the entire year if Plummer wasn't stinking it up so bad. And with Grossman showing he can be a decent short term starter, no need to toss a rook in there on day 1 unless he just absolutely blows the doors off the place.
