Can't recall which thread it was posted in, I said I would research this. Much like the thoughts against backup QBs, I believe we have a tendency to remember bad beats vs our actual performance against rookie QBs. Games with just team, rookie wasn't the starter.
Here's the list. (I added sack #'s since amount of pressure is always discussed):

An average of one game lost every two years to a rookie qb? It does seem like more.
Thanks for posting the stats.
Thanks for posting the stats.
even when Titans get the W rookies still lighting the D up
That’s not true. But some of y’all with the your back up QB and rookie QB myth crap won’t ever admit it even when the stats/facts are right in front of you.
Yeah just because we win, doesn't tell the whole story. These guys almost always move the ball with ease, which is why it feels worse than the average losses/year.
Did y’all even read @HurrayTitans! post???? Y’all just make this crap up I guess.
Yes, 300 yards is 300 yards…. But it only happened TWICE in 22 years……. TWICE…. IN 22 YEARS.
The facts are there about whether guys just “ move the ball with ease”. THEY DONT.
Just looking for shit to bitch about, Jesus H Christ.
dude just from this year, 273 and 297. Just because it's not this magic 300 doesn't mean they still don't gash us.
Burrow 249
Watson 283
Geno 289
Luck 297
etc etc
get real
