Progress Reports on the 2023 and 2024 Rookie QB Classes in the NFL: Matt Waldman’s RSP Scout Talk
20/09/2024Matt Waldman's RSP Scout Talk provides a progress report on the 2023 and 2024 rookie quarterback classes. How I evaluate quarterbacks once they begin their NFL careers was a topic I broached this time last year. With the past two years of quarterbacks as hot points of media discussion, I'm using the article/thread as a framework for analyzing what's most important for a young quarterback to show on the field.

Growth is only given lip service. Organizations have insufficient development processes, they are impatient with results, and they contribute to public pressure. Sink or swim. They don't bench intermittently. A benching in today's league is too often considered a death knell for that player's future as a long-term starter.
