DID YOU KNOW??

I found this both ironic and interesting at the same time.

A number one overall pick hasn't won his first start in a regular season opener since 2002, when David Carr and the expansion Texans beat the Cowboys in the opener. Of course, Carr was sacked six times that day, setting the stage for what would be a trend for him until he escaped here in 2007 to become Jake Delhomme's backup.

Good nugget 007.

I thought it was interesting when I read it. The demographics of that particular data set include all of the best and highest drafted rookie QBs for the last twenty years. It would be interesting to go back and look at the data for the entire entire set encompassing the "Super Bowl era".

Just goes to prove that even the very highest rated QBs, the "generational talent" QBs, ALL have troubles their first year. It wouldn't surprise me if Young was completely ineffective. I hope he does well, but the opposite "wouldn't surprise me".
