I was a Tyrod Taylor supporter from day one. When the Cleveland Browns traded for Tyrod, I was ecstatic. He gave the Browns the option to sit the franchise quarterback for his rookie year, allowing the rookie to learn and ease into the NFL.
John Dorsey has had his success in following this process. During his time in Green Bay, the Packers used this model to prepare Aaron Rodgers. Mind you that ahead of him was Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre, so Rodgers had no choice but to sit.
