2021 Win Total by QB

I think our Def is still a question mark with our new Def Coordinator. I wouldn't chalk up wins yet, we can have a good Off and a sorry Def and still have a losing season.

Saleh was not awesome in his first year.

could be foretelling.

Although it does not appear that the scheme is changing much so its a different situation.

Saleh also didn't have the defensive talent in the first year that we currently have.

Dak Prescott won 13 games in his rookie season, a year after the Cowboys went 4-12.
Ben Roethlisberger won 13 after the Steelers went 6-10.
Andrew Luck won 11 after the Colts went 2-14.
Russell Wilson won 11 after the Seahawks went 7-9.
Joe Flacco won 11. Matt Ryan won 11. Lamar Jackson won 10.
Joe Burrow nearly threw for 300 yards/game last season, while Justin Herbert had his monster 4300 yard, 31 TD season last year. Kyler Murray was pretty effective his first year, as was Baker Mayfield.

We're seeing more and more that teams are able to insert rookie QBs in and they have success. Kyle Shanahan was the OC when RG3 had his monster rookie season.

I'm pretty sure that a rookie QB can come in and have success this year, though I'm pretty sure Shanahan and Lynch want to redshirt the rookie. But if there's a good offer for Jimmy, then I'm confident this team can make the playoffs with the rookie... especially if it's Jones or Fields. Lance is a bigger question mark.

Our team and system is very QB-friendly, and it's a run-first offense. I'd be surprised if the rookie was ineffective. And if it was Fields/Lance, Shanahan will call plays that take advantage of their mobility.

Fair point.

Should change this to pass attempts/completions

Spoiler alert: 14 passes per game for all of them

19-0 Zach attack
