Only two guys since 1995's KiJana Carter (ACL tear) taken number one overall didn't start immediately: Tim Couch (15 games) and you guessed it, JaMarcus Russell (4 games).
The #1 overall player better start from Day One or you've just ****ed your team.

Try Eli Manning and Carson Palmer. What the ****?
WHO GIVES A **** IF HE STARTS OR DOESN'T START IMMEDIATELY? I ONLY CARE IF HE IS A FRANCHISE QUARTERBACK.
Jeez, you are way overboard on this.
Option A) Draft a QB #1 overall, he starts immediately and fails for lack of proper handling and development.
Option B) Draft a QB #1 overall, sit him for a year while he learns and adjusts, goes to 7 straight pro bowls and wins Super Bowl MVP.
You do realize that you are saying Option B isn't even on the table, right? That you would ONLY choose option A, 100% of the time.
