This year, DRS, we've seen three rookie quarterbacks make
00:07
two each of the first two weeks. Nobody throwing a
00:11
touchdown so far this season. JJ McCarthy, as many passing
00:15
touchdowns as any of the three quarterbacks who have started.
00:19
Same for Drake Bay and Michael Penix Junior. All goose eggs
00:23
for the six quarterbacks taken in the opening round in 2024.
00:27
Of course, most damning for Caleb Williams, for Jaden
00:30
Daniels, who's been pretty good in other components and at
00:32
least efficient with the football and Bo Nix, who does
00:35
not have any passing touchdowns but does have four
00:38
interceptions, multiple in each game. I'll tell you what's
00:41
interesting too because this is not just a rookie pandemic
00:44
right now. We're not throwing touchdown passes. The lowest
00:47
amount of touchdown passes through two weeks, I believe
00:49
since like 2006, which is incredible and I always talk
00:53
about in the early months is where you love the team totals
00:56
over. You love the high flying offenses because everybody is
00:59
healthy and the weather is nice. What's going to take a
01:02
look at Ben? We get to the end of October and November and
01:04
December and some of these cold air cities. Is it just going
01:07
to be the running game? Is that like the new institution
01:09
where running backs are getting paid now? Rightfully so
01:11
because that's the only guys that can actually score
01:13
touchdowns at a high rate. We're waiting for that
01:15
breakthrough and again tonight, you're going to watch a
01:17
Thursday night football game with two quarterbacks that one
01:19
is a Hall of Famer who were saying like maybe he can throw
01:22
two touchdowns and Jacoby Presetta's price that sound
01:24
like don't even think about taking him as a touchdown
01:26
prop with those rookies. If we're being honest, right
01:29
Caleb Williams through two weeks. If you would have told
01:31
me before the season started, here's his wide receiving core.
01:33
Here's how talented he is. He hasn't got a touchdown pass
01:36
yet. Jaden Daniels won the Heisman Trophy last year and
01:39
was throwing it all over the lot for LSU. No touchdown
01:42
passes just yet. Now may of course hasn't started Michael
01:45
Penn exchange in McCarthy. We get it, but the same like Bo
01:47
Nix is throwing like 40 plus times a game and hasn't had a
01:50
touchdown pass yet. It's incredible man. Where has the
01:53
offense gone, man?
