Which rookie qbs can win now

Lawrence was considered one of the top QB prospects in recent memory to hit the NFL draft , but Jacksonville clearly still has a ton of work to do to build around him. Hopefully the Jags can get running back James Robinson more involved next week to take some of the pressure off their rookie QB. Wilson came out of BYU with a reputation as a gunslinger with great arm strength and the confidence to take shots deep down field.

His Week 1 performance showed both sides of the coin on that scouting report, as he connected on a few nice throws but also threw an interception. Overall, it was a fairly encouraging debut even in a loss. He threw an interception on his first two throws of the game against the Patriots. It only got worse from there. Wilson threw his third interception of the game in the second quarter, and then came out of halftime and immediately threw his fourth interception.

At one point in the game, Wilson had four completions to his own team and four completions to New England. There are some bad throws in here. Here is a video of all 4 Zach Wilson interceptions and none of them are the offensive line's fault. Very concerning decision making by the rookie. Wilson ended the game of for yards, zero touchdowns, and four interceptions.

The Jets lost to the Patriots, This was basically the worst case scenario for any young QB. Part of this is the growing paints of being a starting QB as a rookie. Part of it is playing for a Jets team that went last year. Either way, Wilson has be better next week against the Broncos. Zach Wilson hit The highest pass velocity on a throw this year. The 49ers improved to by outlasting the Eagles for an ugly win. Lance only got four snaps in Week 1, but one of them was a touchdown throw.

He did not take a snap in a tight game against Philadelphia. Head coach Kyle Shanahan explained the decision to reporters on Monday :. I plan on doing that week-to-week and whenever I feel like putting him in. He's coming off his first career yard game and has thrown seven TD passes in his last four games. Chase will be tough to catch if he keeps averaging yards per game.

But offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels has opened the playbook up for Jones , who isn't too far off Rookie of the Year Justin Herbert's pace of 4, passing yards last season.

While Jones may need to increase his touchdown rate to make this a stiffer competition, he'll be very much in the conversation if he flirts with 4, passing yards. Lawrence has made do of a rough situation in Jacksonville, committing plenty of turnovers but also topping passing yards twice with a mediocre supporting cast.

The No. That said, it's hard to see Lawrence winning this award if Jacksonville finishes in the NFL basement. Harris is Pittsburgh's undisputed workhorse: His total touches are more! The Alabama product hasn't found much running room behind an inexperienced offensive line, but he's excelling as a receiver more receptions than every running back except Detroit's D'Andre Swift.

Coach Canada is known for his misdirection schemes, motion concepts, and using elements of the spread offense, while still focusing on running the ball.
