As the NFL season progresses, there has been much debate about the talent level of certain quarterbacks. The debate has been further fueled by the fact that some of the top signal-callers are rookies, and their sample size is too small to properly evaluate their skills.<\/p>\n
Recently, NFL analyst and former NFL Films executive Greg Cosell weighed in on the matter, saying that the sample size is simply not enough to determine a quarterback’s skill level.<\/p>\n
“When you’re talking about a rookie quarterback, there’s just not enough of a sample size to really know what you have,” Cosell said on the Rich Eisen Show. “You can look at the physical tools, the arm strength, the athleticism, the decision-making, but you just don’t have enough of a sample size to really know what you have.”<\/p>\n
Cosell went on to explain that it can take several years for a quarterback to develop and reach their full potential. He used the example of the Dallas Cowboys’ Dak Prescott, who has shown steady improvement since being drafted in 2016.<\/p>\n
“It takes time for a quarterback to develop,” Cosell said. “Dak Prescott is a great example of that. He was a fourth-round pick, and he’s clearly developed over the course of four years.”<\/p>\n
The same could be said for the current crop of rookie quarterbacks, such as the Arizona Cardinals’ Kyler Murray and the Iowa State Cyclones’ Brock Purdy. While they both have impressive physical tools, it is impossible to accurately evaluate their skill level with such a small sample size.<\/p>\n
Therefore, it is important to remember that it takes time for a quarterback to reach their full potential. While it is exciting to watch young quarterbacks develop, it is important to remember that the sample size is simply not enough to determine their skill level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
