And Peyton Manning if I'm not mistaken also had a low 70s QB rating. If that's good by your standards though...

I wouldn't be at all surprised by how poorly most rookie QBs perform.

The question I would raise is how many of those rookie QBs played on a team that wasn't among the league's cellar dwellers in rebuiling mode.

Big Ben is a guy that played on a team that wasn't, and he performed as well as any rookie QB.

In most cases, QBs that suck ass in their rookie year are usually on teams that suck ass.
