Unless he's hurt, there's no reason he shouldn't be ready to play right away.
You also don't put a rookie in a position to fail. We've seen that Shanny won't play guys if they can't pass the playbook test. I'm certainly not saying that RGIII will not be a good student, I just think you have to acknowledge that a rookie QB faces a pretty steep learning curve. Sure, we can all look at Cam & big Ben as examples of great rookie years, but those are still the exception.

I'm willing to see Rex as starting qb until the rook is really ready. I would hope that would happen by mid season.
