Some rookie NFL debut are seamless. Take, for example, quarterback Panthers Cam Newton, who made his debut in the first week of the 2011 season and completed 64.9 percent of his passes for 422 yards, two touchdowns and one interception; good for a passing odds of 110.4. The Panthers lost, but Newton showed that he was ready for the pros.
Baker Mayfield had an impressive debut last week as he unexpectedly entered Brown's game against the Jets on Thursday.
After Tyrod Taylor left the game with a concussion in the second quarter, Mayfield entered just after the two-minute warning and completed her first two passes (14 yards and 17 yards) on a run of 45 minutes. yards. the first points of the Browns game. The score was then 14-3. Mayfield took the field in the second half and led the Browns to their first victory in 635 days. Heck, Mayfield even caught a pass on a two-point conversion. Now, Mayfield will take over as a starting quarterback for a team that won a game in 34 attempts before moving to Cleveland.
But the beginnings of recruits are not always good. Sometimes they happen in strange situations that make no sense and simply force you to shake your head and ask yourself "why" and "what did the coaches think?
Josh Rosen, Week 3, 2018
That was the case on Sunday when another rookie quarterback debuted in the NFL – the No. 10 pick Josh Rosen. After starting the 0-2 season, the Cardinals were finally 14-13 in the fourth quarter against the Bears. Sam Bradford started the game for Arizona and did not play well. With 11 minutes and 33 seconds remaining, Bradford was sacked by the Bears defense. monster Khalil Mack and the ball, recovered by Bears linebacker Danny Trevathan.
Then Rosen entered the match with four minutes and 31 seconds to bring the game back to the Cardinals. He did not do it. Rosen went four out of seven for 36 yards and one interception. It was almost intercepted a second time (and that would have been a choice of six), but the defense was penalized for being compensated, so the game did not count. It's almost as if the Cardinals coaches wanted to lose the game when they decided to put Rosen to the test. That's exactly what happened when Arizona dropped to 0-3 and Chicago won 16-14.
That made us think, what other rookie quarterbacks were thrown into terrible or unexplainable situations when they first started in the NFL?
Nathan Peterman, Week 11, 2017
At 5-4 (yes, with a record of wins), the Bills decided that it was time to put the starter on the Tyrod Taylor bench and start a sixth-round pick for the rookies. The Bills were alive in the playoff race, but promoted Peterman, a guy with no NFL experience, to start against the Chargers. Before the game in Week 11, Taylor had a 63.7 percent completion percentage, 10 touchdowns, three interceptions, a score of 80.85, and led the Bills to five wins in nine games. The result with Peterman in the quarterback was a first half-five interceptions in which he went six-for-66 for 66 yards and finished with a score of 17.9 before the Bills realized that they were to play Taylor in the second half. The Bills lost 52-24 in an embarrassing show. Regardless, the Bills grabbed the playoffs with Taylor at quarterback and then traded the veteran to the Browns in March.
Johnny Manziel, Week 15, 2014
When the Browns drafted Johnny Manziel in the NFL draft in 2014, they smartly (yes, the Browns did something smart!) And did not throw it in the first week. to see the field in a loss for the bills. He was then named starter the following week, facing the Bengals at home in Cleveland on Thursday night football. What did Manziel do during his first start? He went 10/18 for 80 yards, two interceptions, was sacked three times and got a 30-0 shutout by the Bengals. Cincinnati revealed the signs of Manziel's silver hand on his face. Long game.
Brandon Weeden, Week 1, 2012
In 2012, the Browns named rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden before making his pre-season debut. He won that nomination against Colt McCoy who went 6-15 in the previous two seasons with the Browns. Hey, all in all, going 6-15 as a starter is not so bad for the Browns. Things did not go well for the rookie. He had a completion percentage of 34.29 in the game and launched four interceptions. We hope his 5.1 pass is something he has forgotten, but we do not trust him too much. Weeden has not played in an NFL game since 2015.
Curtis Painter, Week 15, 2009
The Colts led by Peyton Manning racked up 14-0 in a Week 16 match with the New York Jets. Head coach Jim Caldwell decided to rest Manning and the starters, threatening the unbeaten run of the team. The painter has only thrown 11 assists, four of which were completed in a 29-15 loss that ruined the Colts' perfect season. Zero hit, one interception and two sacks equated to a score of 11.2 for the first runner. He followed with an almost equally bad performance at Week 17, going from 4 to 17 for 39 yards, zero touchdown, an interception, a sack and a score of 15.1. Colts fans were certainly delighted to find Manning in the playoffs, but Indianapolis eventually lost in the Super Bowl against the Saints, 31-17.
Keith Null, Week 14, 2009
Null was a sixth round pick of the St. Louis Rams in 2009 and was forced to join the starting lineup in Week 14 when the other two quarters of Rams – Marc Bulger and Kyle Boller – were injured. Null scored 28 of 44 points for 154 yards, one touchdown and five interceptions. Indeed, Peterman was not the first rookie to make five interceptions during his NFL debut! Null has only played three other games in the NFL, all season for the Rams.
Troy Aikman, week 1, 1989
Aikman started immediately for the Cowboys after being the number 1 choice in the 1989 project. Like Manziel many years after him, Aikman led his team into a shutout where he went 17 out of 35 (48.6% ) 180 yards, no touchdown, two interceptions, two sacks and a score of 40.2. But, Aikman is a good example: no matter how you start, it's the way you end your career. He played 12 seasons in the NFL and was inducted into the Professional Football Hall of Fame in 2006 after winning three Super Bowls, six Pro Bowls, being named the first pro team member in 1993 and winning many more. awards and honors. first name.
