Ok, so there have been more and more "here's our starting QB" announcements recently and I was wondering...

Posted by Jim (aka Jim) Aug 21 '12, 06:24

is it me or are we at an all time high for young QBs in the NFL?

I was figuring it out and assuming that Skelton beats out Kolb (which he may already have)...that would be 11 teams with a starting QB drafted in the last 3 drafts.

That's over 1/3 of the league's starting QBs drafted in the last 28 months. That's a lot, isn't it?

There used to be this thought that a rookie would be groomed for a couple years...but that seems to have gone bye bye.

Colleges are more-and-more becoming the training areas for the NFL. -- nm - Spawn Aug 21, 07:20 1
- Yep, all the way down to high-school onward down are running far more sophisticated passing offenses. - Will Hunting Aug 21, 07:41
Seems like it. It's the combination of lots of old guard QBs retiring or underperforming, and a lot of new QBs hitting it big. - Inigo Aug 21, 06:30 1
- With 13 new-ish QBs in the league, the numbers are against them working out. - Inigo Aug 21, 06:33

- I actually went through the list, because I had to see how many teams...and it's crazy. - Jim Aug 21, 06:34 2
