There’s a reason rookie QBs used to sit and learn. They just aren’t ready. I know some would argue that they learn quicker by playing and that’s fine, but don’t be surprised when they suck.

Historically this is true, but recently it hasn't looked like this.

Fields had the worst QB rating of all the rookie QB's. Sad!

They have played sooner, that’s true, but most have sucked in year 1.

Most QB's that are drafted in the first round don't make it in NFL, period. The Watson/Mahomes draft was a rarity.

Hold up!
Lance just scores.

Lance will be the best of em all, hopefully Jimmy G got himself benched tonight. Nothing has changed since the draft...Mac Jones is still terrible.

Jones is, what, 23 years old? He already throws with the authority of post-surgery Chad Pennington.

Not impressed at all. He's just in the best system to prop him up of all the QBs

Really? I'd say Fields,Lance, Lawrence and Wilson all looked better.

Stop hating on the kid. He looked good. The system can't be used to dismiss his play.

Mac Jones = QB3 on his own team

QBR is the most useless stat in the nfl, It is worthless and misleading..it should be ignored and never refrenced like " probowl appearances"


This kid Mac Jones, I was wrong..this guy can play.

Maybe it's because NE knows how to teach, game plan, and adjust with a rookie.

IMO, he also came into the league with the highest floor. None of the rookies have been great, but he's looked the best by far.

if you look through the recent history of NFL drafts, the over/under on successful, long-term franchise QB's coming out of an individual draft would be about 0.5. Many drafts have 0 QB's succeed. Max is maybe 2 out of an individual draft. It's likely you're only going to get Mac Jones and one of Lawrence/Lance as successful long-term NFL QB's out of the 2021 draft class--and maybe not even Mac Jones. Odds are Mills/Wilson/Fields will not rise up out of the basement of quarterbacks where they currently reside and catch on as long-term, franchise QB's. And the guys who do succeed--Russell Wilson, Dak, Lamar, et al--succeed from the get.

As Romo was pointing out yesterday, the recent changes in defense makes rookie success unlikely unless you are a freak athlete or you have the best WR in the game or a great offensive line. I think this class will have a couple franchise quarterbacks and a couple of long-term starters. None of these guys look like franchise quarterbacks. Lance actually looks like the worst to me.
