If you had told me before the season began that Kenny Pickett would have a handful of points more than Matthew Stafford this year, I’d have said, “Wow! He must have had an incredible rookie year!” Obviously, that hasn’t been the case because Stafford and the Rams fell off.
You can apply this a thousand different ways with disappointing 2022 quarterbacks who fell well short of expectations like Stafford, Matt Ryan and Tom Brady against the position's overachievers like Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields, Daniel Jones, Jared Goff and Geno Smith.
