Don't look it up. Just guess if you don't know it, what year?

Rookie QB. What year?

Do you mean a rookie qb?
 
Joe Flacco
 
Yes, rookie QB. sorry
 
I hope the official answer isn't the Rams guy from last year (which I had known about) because that stuff doesn't count (to me, anyway). My answer would've been ButtMunch, but I know that's wrong.
 
The question is Reiss counting a rookie who filled in for the injured starter or is he talking about a rookie who was the annointed starter. If it is the former, it is John Wolford (I think that is his name) and if it is an annoited starter, it is Russell Wilson. I remember the Rams game because he threw like five passes and he sucked and the Rams still won.
 
It is indeed Russell wilson in 2012, and Reiss goes back to Ben Roethlisberger's rookie season for an example before that.

It seems it happens once every decade.
 
Ben Roethlisberger, 2005?

Nope. Sanchez won two playoff games as a rookie in 2009, and so did Flacco in 2008. So from 2008-2012 we had rookie QBs win a total of 5 playoff games, then we had a draught.

It doesn’t matter, Kraft should fire the entire organization, except for Elliot Wolf. Wolf should then Hite Sean McDermott’s son to be the next head coach. Although still in Jr. high he is thought to be a prodigy.
 
It's Russell Wilson, but that feels like cheating because both QBs were rookies and obviously one was going to win.

Just to be clear though Reiss went way back to the 60s and 70s and he named Marino so over 56 years he counted 4
