00:00Numbers wise not make up or build or you know arm strength or any of that stuff just numbers wise strictly
00:05That I could find in comparison to Drake May and not just Drake May
00:09But going to a team that was kind of light on weapons kind of light on o-line
00:14Maybe not as light on coaching these guys had better coaches, but in general
00:18I would say they were not great situations for a rookie quarterback to be in but they still managed to put up pretty good numbers
00:24And the team's thought hey, we really got something here with this quarterback, so here's number one
00:29Marcus Mariotta
00:31Who was drafted by the Tennessee Titans played 12 games two thousand eight hundred and eighteen yards?
00:36Nineteen touchdowns ten picks a passer rating of ninety one point five now Mariotta's problem was injuries
00:42He used to get injured every year
00:44And that was you know a thing that really derailed him and maybe if he had stayed healthy
00:48Then he would have had a different career trajectory, but from a pass catcher perspective his rookie year
00:54They had Delaney Walker, and that's it does that sound familiar
00:56Hunter Henry and nobody else it's basically what Drake May has they drafted Corey Davis with the fifth overall pick
01:02Two years later in 2017 he was a colossal whiff
01:06Davis was supposed to be their stud receiver, and he was just a total bust and then a couple years later
01:11I think they drafted AJ Brown, but he was already
01:14Tannehill was already there and Mariotta got benched for Tannehill
01:17And that was it and that was a situation where they picked up the fifth year option, right?
01:21So they believed in him enough to pick up that option
01:24But then they ended up letting him go after that and not signing him to a long-term deal
01:28That was I'd say a pretty bad situation for a quarterback to be in you know they were all about the run game
01:34They didn't really care about surrounding him with anyone
01:37They assumed that he could do it all himself, or it was just incompetent front-office work
01:41Whatever you choose to believe there the other comp I found for rookie year anyway is Daniel Jones
01:47Who is rookie year played 13 games?
01:503,027 yards 24 touchdowns 12 picks
01:52Which is better than what Mays on track for and a QB rating or a passer rating about the same
01:5787.7 same boat no wide receivers right until neighbors this year, but prior to that
02:02I mean it was a Slayton and Shepard and those guys they whiffed on canaries Tony in the draft. Yep. It was
02:09basically the same
02:11Promising not spectacular
02:12But promising rookie years for all three of these guys Drake May included the team struggled to surround them with a viable NFL offense to
