In the 2011 season, three rookie quarterbacks, Cam Newton, Andy Dalton and Lu Ke, shined in the league. The latter two also led their teams to the playoffs; in the 2012 season, Robert Gerry Three rookie quarterbacks, Finn III, Andrew Luck and Russell Wilson, also made their debuts. What's more, the teams of the three quarterbacks all won playoff spots.
Among them, Griffin's performance is undoubtedly phenomenal. From passing to running the ball, he took the lead in an all-round way, showing incredibly strong dominance. If it weren't for last year's Lu Ke, he was too monster. , then Griffin has already written his own historical record.
If Griffin's performance is outstanding, people still have expectations. After all, in the 2011 Heisman Award selection, he successfully defeated Andrew Luck and won the award. The Washington Redskins ranked second overall. The pick was made, and this can also be considered a player with countless expectations; then Russell's outbreak was much more unexpected.
3118 yards passing, 64.1% pass completion rate; 26 passing touchdowns, 10 interceptions; 4 running touchdowns, 489 running yards; the quarterback's season average score is 100.0.
This quarterback, picked with the 75th pick in the third round, was almost unknown before the start of the season. His height disadvantage made him almost disappear from the scouts' reports. He was the sixth pick in the draft. The quarterbacks selected - after him, the Philadelphia Eagles' Nick Foles was the seventh pick, and the Washington Redskins' Kirk Cousins was the eighth pick.
But after the start of the regular season, Russell showed his proactive learning ability and rapid growth. He was stumbling in the first half of the season, but took off at a high speed in the second half of the season, tying Payton with 26 touchdowns. -Manning's rookie season results, but the number of interceptions was still limited to ten. It can't be said to be amazing, but it has far exceeded expectations.
After the season, Russell became the third rookie quarterback in history to average more than 100 points in a season. The entire league was in an uproar, praising the Seattle Seahawks for finally finding the right quarterback.
In fact, Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll and Jim Harper are both coaches from the West Coast offensive system. This is one of the reasons why Carroll considered Lu Ke in last year's draft.
But unfortunately, the Seahawks have always been focused on ground attack, as is the entire draft system and player recruitment. Having just joined the Seahawks, Carroll is tied up in the face of the existing players and cannot make drastic changes immediately. Reform can only be adjusted and expanded bit by bit on the original basis.
In this year's draft, Russell was selected after a lot of picking and choosing. Unexpectedly, Russell was unintentionally chosen. Russell's running ability is undoubtedly worthy of recognition. At the same time, his passing accuracy is even better than Cam Newton's. Much better - in the 2011 season, Cam's passing success rate was 60%; in the 2012 season, Cam's passing success rate was only 57.7%.
For Carroll, Russell is the most suitable quarterback now, which is also the fundamental reason why he boldly promoted Russell to the starting position in the first week of the regular season.
As for Lark.
Because of Peyton Manning's relationship, and because of the Indianapolis Colts' publicity and arrogance, the entire league's expectations for Luck have reached a new high. Everyone is expecting this quarterback to be able to Create a miracle and lead the Colts back to the top of the league, even if he is just a rookie quarterback.
But the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
It's not that Luck's performance was not good, it was actually that the expectations before the season were already high; what's more, the excellent performances of Griffin and Russell also brought huge pressure, and Luck's own performance was not able to bear it. people's expectations.
4,374 yards, 54.1% passing success rate; 23 passing touchdowns, 18 interceptions; 5 running touchdowns, 255 running yards; the quarterback's season average score is 76.5.
To put it simply, Luck is a traditional pocket quarterback. He is not good at running the ball, but in a crisis situation, he still has the ability to run with the ball and even complete the touchdown; he can indeed Passing, the 4,374 yards data broke the rookie season passing record set by Cam Newton last year, and exceeded the passing record by more than 300 yards. However, the low passing success rate and the high number of interceptions, this Everything is proving:
The Colts couldn't wait to pile all the offensive responsibilities on Luck, and Luck's pass attempts reached the peak of a rookie - an incredible 657 times. Griffin and Russell both had the same data. 393 times, but Luck still failed to control his mistakes, so his performance became ups and downs.
All of this is reminiscent of the scene in 1998 when Peyton Manning joined this team.
Manning spent a season growing up and then became the backbone of the Colts. So what about Luck? How much time does Lark need? How much victory and glory can he bring to the Colts?
At least from the perspective of his rookie season, the Indianapolis Colts successfully reached the playoffs, which was even better than Manning's first season; however, Luck's statistics are really not good-looking. It was lower than people's expectations. Even if he wins, the credit cannot be attributed to him.
First look at the performance of the three rookies Griffin, Luck and Russell, and then look at Lu Ke's rookie season data last year. There is a huge difference. Although Russell was regarded as the Lu Ke of the 2012 season - he completed a counterattack even though he was not favored, but there is still a clear gap in his specific performance.
The outstanding performance of the three rookie quarterbacks has also become one of the hottest attractions in the league, even stealing a lot of the limelight from the second-year quarterbacks. Lu Ke, Cam Newton, and Andy Dalton are still A group of players who have performed the best this season, but their overall average performance is still not comparable to that of the rookies.
Cam Newton, 3869 yards, 57.7% passing success rate, 19 passing touchdowns, 12 interceptions; eight running touchdowns, 741 running yards, and a season quarterback rating of 86.2.
Andy Dalton, 3,669 yards, 64.7% pass completion rate, 27 passing touchdowns, 16 interceptions; four running touchdowns, 120 rushing yards, season quarterback rating 87.4.
Among the rookies in the same class, both quarterbacks have firmly occupied the starting position. Overall, their second-year performance has improved compared to their rookie seasons. They have not encountered the "rookie wall", but the improvement The range is very limited, and the degree of improvement is still lower than expected, so he was robbed of his glory by the rookie quarterback.
In the end, the Carolina Panthers led by Cam Newton finished with 7 wins and 9 losses, one more victory than last season, but still failed to enter the playoffs. Fans were disappointed. They have been for four consecutive seasons. After missing the playoffs, I originally thought that the No. 1 quarterback could lead them to regain their glory, but now it seems that hope is still unrealistic.
Andy Dalton's Cincinnati Bengals achieved a record of ten wins and six losses, also one more victory than last season, and entered the playoffs for the second consecutive year. This performance cannot be said to be amazing, but it is worthy of recognition. , steadily leading the team to occupy a place in the league. From an efficiency perspective, Dalton Bickam is much more cost-effective.
But neither Cam nor Dalton is Lu Ke.
If Lu Ke is listed alone, his performance not only easily crushes the second-year quarterback classmates, but also leads the rookie quarterbacks strongly, even among all quarterbacks in the league. He also took the lead and dominated the competition, running from a strong first half of the season to the end of the season.
This season, there are seven quarterbacks with the best performance, namely Matt Mizubu of the Houston Texans, Matt Ryan of the Atlanta Falcons, Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints, Green Bay Packers Aaron Rodgers of the NBA, Tom Brady of the New England Patriots, Peyton Manning of the Denver Broncos and Ke Lu of the San Francisco 49ers.
In terms of passing yards, Lu Ke ranked first. He gained his first 5,000-yard season in his career, with 5,333 yards, second only to Brees' highest record of 5,476 yards in the 2011 season, and temporarily ranked second in history; in his Behind him, Brees ranked second with his 5,000-yard season for the second consecutive year; Brady, Ryan, Rodgers, Manning and Misaki followed closely behind.
In terms of passing success rate, Lu Ke ranked first. He achieved the first 70% success rate season in his career, 71.1; then, Ryan and Manning tied for second with a success rate of 68.6%; Rogers, Misaki, Bu Reese and Brady are ranked accordingly.
Lu Ke ranked first in the number of touchdowns and broke the historical record; Brees followed with 42 touchdowns, Rogers had 39 passing touchdowns, Manning had 37 passing touchdowns, and Bray had 37 touchdown passes. Di scored 34 goals, Ryan scored 32, and finally Sabu scored 22. Overall, it can be seen that the tactical focus of each team's offensive team is different - Sabu is obviously at the bottom.
Lu Ke ranks first in the number of interceptions, with only seven interceptions. In terms of numbers alone, Griffin's five interceptions are the fewest, but when comparing the number of passing yards, the number of passing touchdowns, and the number of passing attempts In terms of data such as times, Lu Ke's touchdown-to-interception ratio is much higher than Griffin's; Brady and Rogers both had eight, Manning had 11, Sebu had 12, and Ryan had 14. Brees scored nineteen goals - Brees' interception data set a career high.
In terms of quarterback rating, Lu Ke ranked first with 124.5. This also refreshed Rogers' highest season quarterback rating in league history of 122.5 last year, taking the historical record into the bag; Rogers followed with 108.0, and then Manning. , then Ryan, Brady, Brees and Sabu.
In other words, Lu Ke's statistics have exploded this season, leading the league with a crushing performance!
