Which rookie QB starts the most games? Has the best year?
Lets look at our candidates in the order they were drafted:
Cam Newton CAR Starts day 1 plays 14 of 16 games (2 injured)
Jake Locker TEN Plays half the season 8 of 16
Blaine Gabbert JAX Holds the clip board all season behind Garrard
Christian Ponder MIN Starts day 1 plays 13 of 16 games (injury concerns)
Andy Dalton CIN Gut feeling is Palmer comes back for 1 more year
Colin Kaepernick SF -Alex Smith returns
Ryan Mallett NE-Yeah right
So of the two starters for the year Newton and Ponder who scored the most FF points?
Newton has more rushing yards, TD potential...ya think! But Ponder has better weapons in Sidney Rice, Percy Harvin and Visanthe Shiancoe.
Call them both a push in this evaluation. But I think Newton has the best chance of playing more games due to Ponders injury concerns and the Panthers wanting to annoint Cam QB #1 ASAP.
