The only top 10 pick since 2000 to not play a lot their first season was Jake Locker.

Two first round draft picks from the same draft class and in the same division getting arrested on gun charges in the same off-season sure is something

Hopefully the gun aspect gets resolved without much craziness like it seems Quinnens charge will be

carson palmer went #1 in 2003 and was a healthy scratch for the bengals all season long, phillip rivers went #4 in 2004 and had a combined 30 pass attempts in 4 games his first two seasons, jamarcus didn’t start until week 13 partially because he missed training camp with a contract holdout but mostly because lane kiffin wanted to bring him along slowly, goff didn’t start until mid november, mahomes was already mentioned, and you yourself mentioned jake locker

so it’s not super common anymore but it’s also not that uncommon to take a qb top 10 and let them sit for a year or two; usually there’s an entrenched starter but sometimes you’ll have a dude sit behind case keenum

All top 10 QB picks since 09. Most of them started immediately and probably shouldn't have. Part of the problem is if your drafting in the top 10 your probably lacking a QB anyway and have a ton of holes to fill.

My thought is it's always better to have a QB sit for 3-4 games, and let him get a dead cat bounce when he goes in. It shouldn't be too surprising that of the cream of the crop currently (Mahomes, Jackson, Brees, Rodgers) all sat. I mean if anything this shows that the NFL is either awful at scouting QBs or developing QBs.

Yeah it'd be great if QB's could sit but it very rarely happens. Ryan Fitzbpatrick is right on the cusp so I could see a Jon Kitna Carson Palmer situation happening.

Oliver would be in much deeper legal poo poo if instead of Texas he was in NY.
Still drunk driving really sucks and I'd imagine he's going to be eating a suspension from the league. I'd imagine somewhere between 3-5 games at least.

I would guess a 4 game suspension. He’s for sure lucky he’s in Texas. New York he might be facing prison time if the gun was loaded etc.

Speaking of which, the NFL should require teams to do a crash course with rookies (or all players even) about their state gun laws. Especially for players coming to the Northeast from the South who probably have no clue that states can have pretty strict firearm laws and who just assume that the gun they registered in Alabama or wherever is fine to carry around in [pick a state with strict gun laws].

Best case scenario for Jets. Do you root for early disaster? Gase going 4-4 thru the front half keeps his job, teases competency.

Your rational for sitting him is that A) You're going to hurt his development by playing him or B) You are trying to protect him from getting hurt and I'm telling you that there is really no proof that sitting a QB helps his development and that teams don't sit healthy first round QB's because they are scared of their OL.

You’re literally making up A. I’ve flat out said the opposite. Directly to you!

And yes I’m saying the dolphins will keep him off the field until they’re confident the folks they’ve decided are his offensive line have begun to form a cohesion. So there’s literally zero chance you’ll see him anytime in the first half of the season.

I'm genuinely baffled by this discussion. If Fitz starts 1-4, the pressure to start Tua will be overwhelming--not just from the fan base, but from the national media, other players, and likely ownership.

There's just no precedent from the last 15 years for a QB drafted in the top 10 to sit out a season behind an old, struggling starter.

Amy Pole Her
Jun 17, 2002
I can appreciate it if you’re viewing it solely from a historical point of view but it’s been made so mind numbingly clearly within the Dolphins front office folks what the plan is that I’ll just say it again - if Tua starts before week 8 then our OL is really ahead of schedule or wiw shits gone bad and Rosen’s dead

Christ that was a long time ago.... It's possible that I was wrong about a player 10 years ago. I don't even have the slightest memory of that but I'm glad you do lol. Didn't I win passing bets on both Tannehill and Josh Allen?

I don't remember him having 200 yards because it never happend heh. What was the bet again? That he wouldn't have 100 yards in a game? He had 14 yards the rest of the season after that game too lol. See why bets are stupid?

Oh yeah it was 146 yards after his first game. Not sure where I got 200+, my super decade long memory must’ve faded. Either way. So you were only kinda wrong not hilariously wrong.

And he was IRd like 3 carries after his first big game so yeah, not a great rest of the year from the hospital.
