We need a statistician expert to do analysis on rookie QBs that sat for at least 1 year and had relative success during their NFL careers. Of course barring any injury that shortened their career. It would determine if sitting and learning is beneficial to long term success. 

this has been done before and there's really nothing significant one way or the other. there is actually very little data of top 5 picks that sit for an entire year+ most are later picks. I'm personally an advocate of having QBs sit and develop like Mahomes, Rodgers, Love did for example, however I don't think that should be a blanket policy and there are so many factors it depends on. Largely, who your other QB is. Having a Smith/Favre/Rodgers bridge QB makes sitting the rook very easy. Having a Davis Mills/Case Keenum while the rook looks incredible makes it a very different decision, and obviously nobody anywhere is saying Stroud should've sat last year. Or that Cam should've sat year 1.

 i never want to see another panthers rookie qb touch the field before the bye week. starting a qb right away is just playing against the odds. there is really no upside to it. It's not a short cut to getting experience faster because you're basically drowning the first couple games anyways and really they're likely to just get hurt or shell shocked. zero upside to risking it.

houston got lucky with stroud. they could've waited until the bye week and he'd still be the same player he is now, if not better.

You have to go by the player.

If he shows you he can compete; it isn't too fast for him and he isn't mentally overwhelmed, he will probably get better playing instead of watching. 

There is nothing like being on the clock in with others that are really good. I mean, you might be the worst one, but if you can keep from getting fired you will get a great education. So you have to learn fast, it forces you to. 

 

Some of what Young has seen he hasn't had time to process, he is overwhelmed. He needs to reflect and chill for a while.

He's gonna grow by watching Jacoby Brissett have 3 guys in his lap by the time the ball is snapped?

He's gonna grow by not getting killed behind that OL. There's honestly no upside to playing him right now. Like you said, there's two or three guys racing the ball to the QB at the snap and nearly winning the race. There's no reason to put your rookie QB in that situation when you suck.

Once again Brissett is not a crash dummy. He's not going to last a full season behind that Oline. Brissett is not a mobile QB. He's gonna get injured sooner than later.

 

Maye has to play at some point.

If it's that bad he's eventually going to get some playing time. Might as well get accustomed to it sooner rather than later.

Like I said last night, that's the only way I'm considering playing him.

Yeah you speaking from a UNC fan point of view. 

 

Pats fans not going for that. They will want Maye to play sooner than later. As a fan nobody wants to see their top 10 pick not play their entire rookie season.

I don't disagree.  But there seems to be a notion going around that sitting is all that matters, and it doesn't matter if it's behind Mahomes or if it's behind Jacoby Brissett getting 0 yards.  I don't know how much you can learn by watching this New England offense other than the realization that you got drafted by a trash team.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
