how every 1st round QB will do in 2023
It all begins with an idea.
With NFL Training Camp approaching, let’s predict how each first-round QB fairs in their rookie campaigns…
**Predicting all play 17 games**
CJ Stroud: 3,500 yards, 22 TDS, 14 ints, 6-11 3rd in AFC South
Stroud will have his hands full with an improved, but still not great Texans roster. The hire of Demeco Ryans was great, but the team still lacks weapons for the young Ohio State signal caller. Though they drafted Tank Dell and signed Dalton Schultz, there isn’t much there for Houston. Expect some good things from Stroud, but also some major downs…
Anthony Richardson: 2,800 yards, 15 TDS, 13 ints, 800 yards rushing, 10 rush tds, 5-12, 4th in AFC South
The electric Richardson should wow TV screens across the country this season, for better or worse. There is no denying Richardson’s athleticism and ability to run, but his accuracy is still a question mark. The Colts have some weapons for Richardson, in Michael Pittman and Jonathan Taylor, but I still expect a last place finish for the HorseShoe. With that being said, Richardson will light up defenses with his dual-threat ability and show some major flashes….
Bryce Young: 4,000- yards, 26 tds, 10 ints, 9-8, 1st in NFC South
Yes, the Carolina Panthers will win the NFC South and have a winning record. I loved what they did in the offseason, bringing in Frank Reich and improving the offense. Adam Theilen, Miles Sanders, and DJ Chark will improve this Panther’s offense a ton. The defense was already great last year, and they will do more of the same this year. Expect some early roadblocks for Young, but a great second half of the year that will propel the Panthers to a division title….
In the end, Bryce Young was the number one pick for the reason, and there was a reason why Carolina gave up so much for him. Though they lost DJ Moore, they replaced him well by acquiring Adam Theilien and DJ Chark for Young to throw to. Young is the best QB in this class and is also in the best situation to succeed…..
