Which NFL rookie QBs should start Week 1? 🤔
Every year, we see the same thing. A team that needs a quarterback—and, in some cases, has needed one for years—drafts a quarterback in the spring. From then on, for the rest of the offseason, training camp, and sometimes even trickling into the regular season, that team’s fans clamor for that young quarterback to take over as the starter.
Despite all of those expectations and a high level of pressure from fans and some members of the media to “save the franchise,” not all rookie quarterbacks are ready to start Week 1. Some guys have the experience, technique, and mental fortitude to step in as a starter immediately, but others would be better off “going the Patrick Mahomes route.
Besides his size, the former Alabama quarterback was one of the safest, most pro-ready options of any quarterback prospect in his class. His high football IQ, accuracy, poise, improvisational skills, and ability to make plays when his team needs him most all set him apart from other quarterbacks in the class. There’s a reason Young won the Heisman Trophy in 2021. There’s a reason he was the first overall pick in the most recent draft.
Stroud was an elite quarterback for the Buckeyes over his two years replacing Fields as the starter in Columbus. He’s an accurate passer with great ball placement, he has a live arm and he’s got a high football IQ that allows him to make good reads of opposing defenses pre- and post-snap. While he’s not at Fields’ level as a scrambler, there’s an impressive level of mobility to Stroud’s game as well—he does have the ability to make plays with his legs when he needs to.
