Tough to do but probably becoming easier nowadays than it was in pre salary cap era.

Many QB's entering NFL are more prepared than ever before so sooner or later a rookie QB will lead his team to the SB and may even win it. Not many rookie QB's on good teams that went .500 or above the previous year even get a chance to start.

As a pick later in the first round, Dan Marino was one of them and he lost in first round of the playoffs but just looking at box score and video of a little bit of the game, he probably outplayed David Kreig, the opposing QB. Marino had 2 TD's and 2 INTS which wasn't bad at all for that era but Dolphins lost by 27-20 thanks to 5 turnovers in total and a missed extra point. 3 fumbles including 2 on special teams/kick off returns doomed Miami.

Rookie Jones may not be rookie Marino but he may not have to be if his teammates don't fumble the ball 3 times.
