Evaluate the rookie or young QBs you were able to watch so far this week.
Trevor Siemian (Denver)
The Good: Solid arm strength and poise, conducts drives that accumulate yardage and aid in the field position battle, knows his role.
The Bad: Has a tendency to make huge mistakes because of dangerous throws, which was seen throughout the preseason. If he fucks up, it's bad. Not very mobile even if he's not a statue.
Overall: Promising but has to minimize bad throws to avoid turnovers. There's more good than bad.
Carson Wentz (Philadelphia)
The Good: Excellent poise and above average pocket awareness, rocket arm, 2 sexy TD passes on the kinds of throws that separated him from the other rookie QBs during the draft process, great use of situational velocity (bullets only when needed, otherwise very catchable throws), great ball placement, excellent knowledge of the playbook and comfort with audibles, great hard count, no turnovers, no playbook or scheme limitations.
The Bad: He took way too many hits, did not always recognize when to exit the pocket to extend plays even if the Browns played great containment, had some passes sail on him that nearly resulted in INTs.
Overall: not perfect by any means but rookie debuts don't get much better than this, either. He even picked on Joe Haden once or twice. Let's keep our heads about the kid but Eagles fans shouldn't hesitate to be excited. Carson Wentz made throws yesterday that the Eagles organization hasn't seen in years.
Marcus Mariota (Tennessee)
The Good: two scoring drives, some nice throws but nothing outstanding. He really wasn't good yesterday.
The Bad: clumsy with exchanges, awful pick 6, no real signs of improvement albeit against a great defense
Overall: bad but it's week 1. He'll probably be fine.
More to come.
