2017 Rookie QB Watch thread
I really want this book considering we have our rookie QB now.
http://www.stltoday.com/sports/footb...ddf0b337e.html Longtime NFL writer Thomas George has written an entertaining and incisive book about the development of franchise quarterbacks — "Blitzed: Why NFL Teams Gamble on Starting Rookie Quarterbacks." It's an insightful look into the evaluation and development of young quarterbacks, and in it, George talks to many players and coaches on the subject. George, who also writes for SBNation, provided quite a tease for the book, which comes out Sept. 5, on Tuesday on SBNation. Quote:

2017 Rookie QB Watch thread
Texans rookie Deshaun Watson intercepted by Saints NEW ORLEANS -- Deshaun Watson sailed the pass too high on a throw intended for wide receiver Wendall Williams. The misfire became the first interception for the Texans' rookie backup quarterback as New Orleans Saints cornerback Damian Swann picked him off. The first-round draft pick and national championship winner from Clemson had a tough game against the Saints during a 13-0 shutout loss Saturday night at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Watson nearly had two other errant throws intercepted, but the Saints' defensive backs were unable to hold onto the football. Watson finished the game 11 for 21 with 116 yards, no touchdowns and one interception for a 48.9 passer rating. "It was all right," Watson said. "Overall, there's a lot of things to do to move the ball down the field and try to create some spark and get some points on the board, but it did not go our way. It's a good tape to learn from." Texans & NFL Highlights Operating with the Texans' reserves, Watson was pressured a lot by the Saints' front seven. He was sacked twice. He rushed for 10 yards on two carries. A consensus All-American and Heisman Trophy finalist, Watson has flashed athleticism and poise throughout the preseason. This marked the second consecutive game, though, that he had some issues. Watson completed only 3 of 10 passes against the New England Patriots a week ago. "I thought there were some bright spots," Texans coach Bill O'Brien said. "They threw a lot of pressure at him, which is good for a rookie quarterback to see. I thought sometimes he handled it pretty well. "He was able to throw the sight adjustment throw, the hot to a couple of guys. Other times maybe he missed it or maybe the receiver missed it. It's something where he's going to really watch the tape and really improve." Watson is still adjusting to the increased speed of the NFL after dominating collegiate defenses, including Alabama, with his superior mobility and fast decision-making. It was reinforced clearly on Saturday that Watson still has some work to do as he continues to refine his skills at the professional level. Tom Savage has been installed as the Texans' starting quarterback even prior to Watson's arrival via the NFL Draft. What happened on the interception? A hook read, the ball was just a little too high and he tipped it," Watson said. "The guy made a good play." That status won't change heading into the Texans' season opener Sept. 10 against the Jacksonville Jaguars as Watson continues to gain experience and Savage maintains a game manager style of avoiding turnovers and making good decisions. By all accounts, Watson has an outstanding work ethic. He intends to learn from this experience. "Just overall being a better player, better teammate, better quarterback," Watson said. "Once I look at the film, I'll figure it out." https://youtu.be/S3i_1E3dG6A

2017 Rookie QB Watch thread
TAMPA -- DeShone Kizer clinched the Browns starting quarterback job Saturday night by passing his last big test in the dress rehearsal game here against the Bucs, sources told cleveland.com. Kizer's number weren't great in the 13-9 victory, including a 28.2 rating, but he showed Jackson enough to beat out Brock Osweiler and Cody Kessler for the job and earn the opening day start against Pittsburgh Sept. 10 at FirstEnergy Stadium. Kizer will become the 27th quarterback to start for the Browns since 1999 and the second rookie quarterback to start the opener behind Brandon Weeden, who lost 17-16 to the Eagles in 2012. Kizer completed only 6-of-18 attempts for 93 yards, with no TDs and one interception on a deflected pass over the middle, but he didn't get much help from his supporting cast. Kenny Britt dropped a pass at the Bucs' 5 and Duke Johnson fumbled the ball away at the Bucs' 10. "No doubt. It would be a whole different game for him,'' said Jackson. "That's why I feel good about the things that he accomplished tonight. I thought he came well prepared to play. Again, that was his first opportunity out there with those guys truly from start until we said, 'ok enough with the ones and I thought he showed well.' I thought he did some good things and we can build on some things as we move forward." Jackson said heading into the game that Kizer would be named the starter as long as he didn't tank against the Bucs in the third preseason game. "He did not fall flat on his face,'' said Jackson. "He didn't. Matter of fact, he did some things better than I thought he would, to be honest with you.'' Kizer connected three times with Corey Coleman, including once for a 32-yard sideline route on which he rolled to his left and put it where only the single-covered Coleman could get it. The receiver, who finished with four catches on the night for 66 yards, laid out for the ball and made a great catch -- the kind the Browns are going to need to see more of if Kizer is to be successful. Coleman made two more acrobatic third-down receptions from Kizer, who went 5-of-9 for 56% on the money down in his one half of work. Kizer, who faced a Bucs team that rested five defensive starters, lamented the fact that he went 0-for-2 in red zone TDs. "A field goal in one and a fumble in another is unacceptable,'' he said. "Those need to be touchdowns in order for us to continue the success we have been having. But overall, it was an awesome opportunity to go out and compete against some ones with the ones and take the things that we have been doing in practice and apply them to a game situation." https://youtu.be/8lm7uABtQQk

It's possible that Peterman will be a Week 1 starter for Buffalo given Tyrod's concussion.

Mixed results from Peterman On his first four possessions, Peterman and the first-team offense gained a total of 11 yards on 16 plays. Peterman's second and third series both lost yards, although both were stunted by illegal formation penalties against the offensive line that negated third-down conversions by Peterman. The rookie later took over the first-team offense with 2 minutes, 39 seconds remaining in the first half and led an 11-play, 83-yard drive that was assisted by a pass interference penalty by the Ravens in the end zone. Running back Mike Tolbert capped that drive with a 1-yard touchdown run. At times, Peterman looked decisive in the pocket and was accurate with his throws. At other times, including a play on which he was nearly intercepted on a pass thrown while he was being sacked, Peterman looked like a rookie. Overall, he finished 11-of-23 passing for 93 yards and a 58.8 quarterback rating before being replaced by T.J. Yates late in the third quarter. Yates was intercepted on his first pass. QB depth chart: Beyond Taylor and Peterman, the Bills have only Yates, who initially ran the second-team offense in training camp before Peterman took over those duties in practice two weeks ago. It is unclear whether Taylor's concussion will cause the Bills to sign a fourth quarterback. They have an open spot on their 90-man roster and, unlike in past seasons when there was a cut down to 75 players, can keep all 90 for next Thursday's preseason finale against the Detroit Lions. One reason to be concerned: Even before Taylor's concussion, the first-team offense looked out of sorts for a second consecutive preseason game. Taylor completed one of his three passes -- to slot receiver Brandon Tate -- for 1 yard, was sacked once and fumbled once. His offensive line, which continues to play without left tackle Cordy Glenn because of a foot injury, contributed to the problem. Buffalo also struggled to find early success with its running game, with LeSean McCoy gaining just 7 yards on six first-half carries.

This is a good watch.
Mahomes talk starts at about 35 minute mark but the whole thing is entertaining. https://youtu.be/aX4Jbkf7Q88

Trubiski has been the best rookie QB and if he doesn't start week 1, he'll be starting by week 5.
