C.J. Stroud is set to let it fly with Houston.
Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud works out prior to an NFL preseason football game against the Miami Dolphins, Saturday, Aug. 19, 2023, in Houston. C.J. Stroud is set to let it fly with Houston, while Anthony Richardson will get his shot right away in Indianapolis.
In the 1980s, only five rookies throughout the decade got the start in Week 1. Same for the 1990s. That number nearly doubled to nine for the whole of the 2000s, then jumped to 18 rookie QB starters opening a season over the previous decade.“When you draft these kids, you want to get them out there,” Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer said.
Eli Manning was the No. 1 overall pick in 2004, yet he didn't break into the starting lineup for the New York Giants until the 10th game of his rookie season. He spent the better part of that year holding the clipboard for veteran Kurt Warner before eventually going on to win two Super Bowls as the starter.
Starting right away doesn't necessarily translate into immediate success for rookie QBs — either in Week 1 or their first season.
