I'm not saying that all late round QBs do. If I did, that was not my intention. My point is that most late round QBs will never get a chance to start unless a first round pick QB gets hurt, and most late round picks are only given usually a half season to show any kind of success.

Schaub and Garrard got extra playing time because they were impressive in backup roles, after their starting QB got injured. If any of them put up Eli Manning rookie numbers, no way in hell would they ever get more than a season to prove themselves. Just because you point out a few examples, does not make it a trend. Those are only a few of the lower-round pick QBs who were given a chance to play in extended time.
