Never thought all four top 10 QBs would already start by week 4, but here we are.

I overheard on Sirius NFL radio over the weekend something from one of the beat writers that made a lost of sense. He was saying the days of the journeymen QB starting in this league are dwindling. If you draft a QB in the first round there's no point in having him sit on the bench if you are going to trot out journeymen QB's like Taylor, Peterman, Bradford, etc that are realistically no better. Why subject your paying customers poor journeymen QB play when you can at least use the season as experience for the newly drafted franchise QB? The Chiefs situation was ideal because Smith was still good so Mahomes could hold a clip board and work on his game for a year but most teams should not be wasting seasons starting stop-gap QB's if they have invested highly in a young QB.
