Chiefs Lets expand the conversation: "Let our QBoTF sit for a few years"

As much as I love Aaron Rodgers, this trending opinion around Chiefs fans that Rodgers sets the new model of how to find a QBOTF is annoying.

Yes, Rodgers sat behind Favre until he got his turn. Did those seasons on the bench help him develop or were they just a wasted portion of his career?
How much worth is bench time over actual in game/in practice reps?

Some questions:

Does QBOTF need to learn pocket presence from Alex Smith? I sure hope not. What about how to lead receivers and throw a deep ball? Kill me now.
Maybe he can learn pre-snap defensive reads from Alex Smith?... What are the coaches for again? Learn how to throw a bubble screen? Hopefully the prospect learned this in High school...

I'm not seeing much benefit in sitting this prospect to learn from a career mediocre QB. I see much more benefit getting him quality snaps and real in game experience... especially while the current Defensive window is open.

Here is a list of CURRENT NFL QB's that have had very respectable to amazing ROOKIE seasons.

Jameis Winston - 16 GP, 58.3% comp., 4,042 yards, 22 TDs, 15 INTs, 54 carries, 213 rushing yards, 6 TDs.

Andy Dalton - 16 GP, 58.1% comp., 3,398 yards, 20 TDs, 13 INTs, 37 carries, 152 rushing yards, 1 TD.

Andrew Luck - 16 GP, 54.1% comp., 4,374 yards, 23 TDs, 18 INTs, 62 carries, 255 rushing yards, 5 TDs.

Matt Ryan - 16 GP, 61.1% comp., 3,440 yards, 16 TDs, 11 INTs, 55 carries, 104 rushing yards, 1 TD.

Russell Wilson - 16 GP, 64.1% comp., 3,118 yards, 26 TDs, 10 INTs, 94 carries, 489 rushing yards, 4 TDs.

Cam Newton - 16 GP, 60.0% comp., 4,051 yards, 21 TDs, 17 INTs, 126 carries, 706 rushing yards, 14 TDs.

RG3 - 15 GP, 65.4% comp., 3,200 yards, 20 TDs, 5 INTs, 120 carries, 815 rushing yards, 7 TDs.

Ben Roethlisberger - 14 GP, 66.4% comp., 2,621 yards, 17 TDs, 11 INTs, 56 carries, 144 rushing yards, 1 TD.

Would anyone be opposed to these starting QB's?
Dak Prescott
Carson Wentz
Marcus Mariota
Derek Carr
