Which rookie QB's will be starting for their teams in week 1?
Which rookie QB's will be starting for their teams in week 1?
Which if any rookie quarterbacks will start the season as their teams first choice QB? Five rookies started at QB last year in RG3, Andrew Luck, Ryan Tannehill, Brandon Weeden and Russle Wilson but this season's class doesn't look as strong.
Reports suggest Geno Smith and Tyler Wilson have the best chances and EJ Manuel won't be too far away from starting in Buffalo. Matt Barkley and Mike Glennon have outside chances.

None. EJ Manuel is the closest, and I expect him and Tyler Wilson to finish the season, with Landry Jones and maybe Geno Smith getting some game time during the season.

I said none too, I think Manuel will come in around week 8.

Geno wouldn't be a massive upset.
Wilson and Barkley have a chance considering the competition.
Manuel probably has the job if he shows anything in preseason.

None are really worth it week one, though some - notably Manuel - would likely get in sooner rather than later.

I don't see any starting in week 1, but probably 3 or 4 could be in by season's end.
Surely Smith and Manuel will supplant Sanchez and Kolb respectively by the mid season barring miracle performances from either of those guys.
Wilson has a shot at getting ahead of Flynn, but it really depends on how the offense looks. I don't think we're going pass heavy and I see a lot more reliance on short passing and accuracy and I reckon Flynn will be able to hold the job all year. Maybe Wilson has a chance when Flynn's 2 year deal is up but I don't see him getting thrown in this year unless Flynn is a turnover machine and we're 0-8.
Landry Jones may get a game when Ben has his regular injury break.

Reports from the Jets camp have been very complimentary of Geno. He has a strong chance of starting week 1, but lets see how pre-season goes.
