It’s crazy to me that nfl teams think it is a good idea to start a rookie

It’s almost always a bad idea - unless they are elite on day 1 like Stroud, you let them grow a year or two and they probably end up having a much brighter future for your team.

Its nuts to me that guys like Payton just stick with a rookie QB. Stidham while not your future could have got them

This season doesn’t matter for the Broncos at all. It’s all about getting Nix reps and experience.

How else would you know if they are elite on day 1 or not?

He’s 24 years old. The time to play and learn is right now.

NFL teams should definitely base strategy off of the outliers of all outliers from 20+ years ago. Good call.

Outliers lol. Maybe base it off of all the failed starting rookie QBs. And

That analysis is flawed. Obviously the best most talented QBs are most likely

So you’re saying it’s flawed because it can’t answer a question that’s impossible to answer?

Not if he isn’t good.

He’s probably not good. He looks terrible. He won’t become good by holding a clipboard.

I disagree - let him watch a vet and odds are it will help him more than

It will be interesting to see if it helps Drake Maye

I bet Maye will be starting by next week and will basically be part of the started most of the rookie season group.

Mohommes and Rodgers held a clipboard as rookies

Finish your thought here. Do you think they would suck if they played year 1?

TCuz

Do you think Payton manning would have been worse if he sat a year? Or all of

A Drew Aitch

Not worse. You’d have one less year to evaluate them, one less year on a rookie contract. It would be terrible strategy.

Which QBs have won a Super Bowl on a Rookie Contract?

A Drew Aitch

1:32pm

The Chiefs did. And the Niners, Eagles, and Bengals have all gone to the SB with a rookie contract QB.

TCuz

But the only one that won was the one that held the clipboard

A Drew Aitch

And none made the Super Bowl as rookies. So the question is, would anything

My man, if you don’t even know what a rookie contract is then this is not even a debate worth having.

I know what a rookie contract is. Yes they made it on rookie contract but not as

The fact that you think this word spells “Mahomes” shows you don’t pay attention enough to have a solid opinion

Oh no I misspelled his name!

Statistically, that isn’t true. Rookies that play right away have better, longer careers
