Agreed.
im just old enough to remember everyone nitpicking Manning his rookie year, especially with the Interceptions. Lots of local media were jumpin on the Ryan Leaf bandwagon pre-draft.
my entire point is simply I think the league has become too quick to toss young QBs to the side. The teams that are patient, seem to reap the benefits long term. Bills come to mind. Now I’m not saying AR will become the next Josh Allen. I’m just saying we need to be patient.
as I said before, I didn’t like any of the QBs in AR’s class. Including stroud who I’m still not sold on either. I definitely wasn’t on board with drafting AR, but I started to soften on that stance after seeing him in Training camp last year. But sadly, the worry I had pre-draft about run first thinking QBs is that they’re always banged up is turning out to be valid.
AR has to learn to not run the ball recklessly, run it out of bounds and live to fight another down.
Nobody is expecting him to be prime Peyton Manning. You cant equate completing routine NFL passes with prime PM. There is a whole lot of middle ground there you would like to see AR fall into. The accuracy is concerning.
Manning was a generational QB. He changed how the QBs play the game. Remember how Manning took excessive time at the line. People were saying what is he doing? Just snap the ball and quit wasting time. Now most every QB imulates what Manning started.
