So I went all the way back. I started in 2017 to now at when guys are inserted.

Because obviously when you're drafted in the first round, you are drafted to play eventually that season.

Rarely, very rarely do you get the Patrick Mahom's situation where he sat basically the entire year until the final week.

That's because there was a very good and competent quarterback in front of him.

And a good competent team in front of him.

They were a playoff team.

The Jordan Love situation was also really unique because Aaron Rogers was in front of him.

And Jordan Love ended up sitting not one, not two, but three years before he was inserted.

So those are really the rare examples.

So I went back and looked and here's what I found. Caleb Williams started right away. Jaden Daniels started right away.

I think mixed results from both. Yeah.

Drake May was inserted week six last year, week six. Ended up going three and eight, put up

respectable numbers. He wasn't horrible. Was not horrible.

Jury's still out. 2023, Bryce Young started right away. Terrible. C.J. Straub started right away. Really good. Yep. Playoffs. The one first round pick in 2022 is Kenny Pickett. He was inserted in the middle of week four. Yeah. And then took over week five. ended up going seven and five the rest of the way, did not end up playing while there's no longer a starter in this league. Yeah, but that was with the Steelers. That was with the Steelers. And the Steelers are going to be good no matter who the quarterback can. Yeah, I mean, they kind of proved. Yesterday last week. They're proving that right now. And I think that Kenny Pickett was also probably not that big of a quarterback prospect.

It was merely it was a week. They're proving that right now. And I think that Kenny Pickett was also probably not that big of a quarterback prospect. It was merely it was a weak draft. He was the only one, right, in the first round? Only one in the first round. In 2021, Trevor Lawrence started right away. It was terrible that rookie season. But circumstances matter. Yeah. And I don't necessarily think that starting right away stunted his growth.

I think what's hurt him is, you know, the coaches around him probably.

Yeah.

Zach Wilson started right away.

Disaster.

We know that one.

Justin Fields was inserted in the middle of week two and eventually took over week three would later get hurt.

Right.
