NFL 2025: A new era dawns?

Trying to think about who got to sit as a high draft pick. Eli Manning sat for half the year. Patrick Mahomes sat for a year. Carson Palmer sat for a year. Brett Favre sat for a year. Jordan Love sat for two years. Philip Rivers sat for two years. Aaron Rodgers sat for three years.

Sitting didn't help Jake Locker, Brady Quinn, Trey Lance, Patrick Ramsey, JP Losman. No amount of sitting would've helped Johnny Manziel, JaMarcus Russell, Tim Tebow or Paxton Lynch, each for different reasons.

Like anything else, it isn’t a perfect answer. I just think if you’re sold on a QB being your future, you shouldn’t be running him out there to try and save your job.

The most likely outcome is the coach still loses his job and ruins the player to boot.
 
I don't think any rookie QB can be successful without at least a B+ O-Line. A running game helps, but he needs to be able to make decisions. With experience, they can get by on muscle memory and catching up to the NFL level.

Now, there are rookie QBs who the 1983 Hogs couldn't save from himself.

Is Marvin Harrison Jr. a bust?

He's either a bust, or has the yips. I was listening to some of the game and he dropped another pass that he should have had.

Overall, from what I saw and heard it was a fun game. Interesting that next week is the second half of the NFC West divisional rivalries. So far Thursday Night Football hasn't been that bad.
 
After that Sunday night game, trying to think of other last minute mistakes by the kicker (not counting missed field goals or extra points) that led to losses. There was John Kasay with the kickoff out of bounds that gave the Patriots a short field at the end of the Super Bowl against Carolina. There was the Giants punter who was told to kick it out of bounds so they could take the game to OT only it didn't go out of bounds and the Eagles returned it for the winning TD.
