Mike Reiss tidbit: if you had to guess, when is the last time a rookie won a playoff game?

[upstater1]

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?

 

[gtfanboy]

Russell Wilson 2012?

 

[Froob]

Joe Flacco

Do you mean a rookie qb?

If so, I know it's Russell Wilson

 

[upstater1]

Yes, rookie QB. sorry

 

[Jim Beankie]

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.

Guess - 2009 Mark Sanchez.

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
