Well, there's a little something called "consent" that Ms. Kerr is giving. Kind of a big deal.

Mahomes

Goff

Mayfield/Allen

Prescott

Marriota

Watson

Rosen

No grade on Jackson yet.

Swap Watson with Bortles......Houston OLine is bad

Kirk Cousins Chose Wisely; Early Grades on Rookie Quarterbacks

 

Former NFL player and scout Bucky Brooks knows the ins and outs of this league, providing keen insight in his notebook. The topics of this edition include:
 
-- Early grades for the first-round quarterbacks.
 
2018 QB CLASS: Early grades on first-round picks
 
The 2018 quarterback class wasn't expected to make an immediate impact in the NFL, based on the number of perceived redshirts on tap, but the group has acquitted itself surprisingly well early. Now, it's obviously way too early for anyone to even bring up the legendary 1983 QB class, but I firmly believe the football world should be excited about the young gunslingers who are beginning to make a mark on the league despite obvious flaws. After digging into the All-22 Coaches Film following Week 5 of the regular season, here are my thoughts on each of the QBs who came off the board in Round 1 this past April:
 
Baker Mayfield, Cleveland Browns:
 
Grade: A-
 
Sam Darnold, New York Jets:
 
Grade: B
 
Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills:
 
Grade: C
 
Josh Rosen, Arizona Cardinals:
 
Grade: B-
 
Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens:
 
Grade: INC

I would put Prescott, Mariota, Watson, Trubisky and Darnold all above Allen on this list.

The Rookie Quarterbacks Are Struggling and That's Okay - Optimum Scouting

 

1540783517-full.jpg

 

October 29, 2018: by Justis Mosqueda
 
It’s hard to play quarterback in the NFL. With rookies struggling in the middle of a passing boom, we need to remind ourselves this.
 
Together, the five 2018 first-round pick quarterbacks (Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen, Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson) have thrown 792 passes for just 5,155 yards, 27 touchdowns and 27 interceptions in 2018. Their collective Adjusted Yards per Attempt (AY/A) of 5.7 is a worse mark than any NFL offense run by a veteran quarterback this season.
 
Bad? Absolutely. A cause for concern? No. If you look at the history of rookie first-round picks, you should have expected nothing more than bad stats in Year 1.

One Pressing Question for Every NFL Team in Second Half of 2018 Season

 

Baltimore Ravens: Is the future near? After a promising 3-1 start, they sit at 4-4 with the division-leading Steelers coming to town. We know GM Ozzie Newsome is winding down, so it seems unlikely that rookie QB Lamar Jackson would replace Joe Flacco until this club's postseason possibilities are officially exhausted. Right?

 

Buffalo Bills: How do they help Josh Allen? An unpolished prospect carrying a franchise's hopes on his howitzer arm deserves better. Before sustaining a Week 6 elbow injury, Allen was regularly running for his life while relying on a 30-year-old running back (LeSean McCoy) as his primary weapon. Allen's development could be in serious jeopardy without a major course correction.

 

Cleveland Browns: Who's the next coach? With Hue Jackson out, they can begin searching in earnest for his successor. GM John Dorsey surely has to find an offensive specialist who can bond with Baker Mayfield, while hoping the quarterback's rookie season doesn't devolve into a wasted experience.

 

New York Jets: What's our identity? GM Mike Maccagnan has done a nice job mining the secondary free agent market in recent years for players like CB Morris Claiborne and G James Carpenter. But with more than $200 million in cap space available over the next two years, Maccagnan and his staff must take a hard look at their foundation to determine how to allocate resources to a rebuild that needs to accelerate around Sam Darnold.

 

Arizona Cardinals: Is this the proper environment for Josh Rosen? The Cards unexpectedly managed to draft the quarterback they think will take them to the promised land. Yet Rosen is trying to learn the ropes under a rookie head coach and, now, a rookie offensive coordinator — to say nothing of personnel issues, namely the O-line.
