I am not sure how you would gather data on something like that. Seems like too many variables in play. IMO Mahomes would have been fine to play right away however Trubinsky could have been ruined by playing right away. Proof? I dunno.
I would think there is some truth to being better prepared sitting a year or two and coming in confident. I am sure going into games unprepared has just destroyed a few young QBs confidence over the years.
Todays environment being cap restricted they just dont want fork out a huge hit on the cap providing no immediate results so they force the QBs in there.
