Which 2nd year quarterback gonna flop?

[Dorian Breh]

A surprising number of last year's rookie QBs performed well their first year in the league.

A record number were picked in round 1 and I was sure there would be a ton of misses. But so far not really.

Most guys did at least well enough not to look like busts. I know Caleb was outplayed by Daniels, but he did OK for a Bears QB. I don't think Chicago fans are ready to give up on him after one year like Bryce, at least.

But this is the Not For Long and now the tape is out on these guys. Most aren't on highly relevant teams but you'd expect their divisional rivals to put a plan together to attack weaknesses and gaps in their game.

So who is it that's gonna crash out and get benched after getting hyped up all Summer as an All Star candidate who could lead his team to the playoffs?

Michael Penix only because Atlanta is putting him in a bad spot by keeping Kirk Cousins hovering over his shoulder. Plus I think teams peeped the limited mobility in the pocket and will blitz the shyt out of him.

Teams adjusted to Jayden Daniels in the second half of last season and then he adjusted to that. He’ll be the same this season. The rest of the QBs on the list I think will struggle at the start.

Bo Nix surprised me the most. He was quite good.
We don’t know anything about JJ McCarthy.
I am most worried about Caleb Williams. I won’t say he will be a 2nd year flop. I just think he has the most red flags.

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

JD will be fine.

Caleb can do it if the Bears help him.

Nix....we will see, don't trust it yet.

Penix? We will see the NFCS is a weird division so that could be really good or bad for him.

JJ and Penix getting a pass from me. They just have to show promise

Those other qbs has to take the next step. I think Jayden 2nd year gonna be like the kid in Houston 2nd year. Slightly disappointing

Bo nix

They all are. Sophmore slumps happen because teams adjust.

Real question is, which sophmore QB from last year that struggle will bounce back?

2024 season pissed me off. Not only was i hype off Love but CJ was phenomenal to watch....both them nikkas ended up doo doo status

I think Daniels will get some bad press. Even if he doesn't deserve it.

The Slurs stole a few wins last year that were 50-50 at best. Chicago. The second Eagles game where Kenny Pickett played and the Slurs still almost lost.

Those games showed Jayden as a clutch performer and a winner. But even if thats who you are, sometimes things don't work out. Both of those games were won because of boneheaded plays by opposing players.

If those, and one or two other lucky things go the other way then they don't make the playoffs and the narratives are all different. If the luck runs out it isn't necessarily his fault, but he might get blamed for it because the media is petty and short sighted like that.

I am a documented bo nix skeptic

jj mccarthy shouldnt be on that list tho...dude didnt play a single snap how can he regress ?

penix too, dude played like 3 games

There’s nowhere for Maye to go but up. We gotta see if Caleb can take what the defense gives him more often or will he keep trying to make a home run play on every down

If JJ and Penix aint at least nearly as good as Darnold and Cousins were then they flopped
