With the New York Jets’ loss to the San Francisco 49ers, the primary week of the 2024 NFL season is already within the books.
And whereas we obtained to see some excellent performances since kickoff on Thursday, different gamers left a lot to be desired.
That was significantly true with quarterbacks.
We solely had 33 passing touchdowns within the first week of the season, which is almost half of the 64 we noticed two years in the past.
When requested about that, NFL legend Troy Aikman argued that as a lot as a few of that could possibly be as a result of the truth that gamers don’t play as typically within the preseason anymore, a number of the performances have been relatively inexcusable (through Terrible Saying).

Aikman claimed that some veterans and confirmed gamers merely didn’t play as much as their stage, including that there was some poor quarterback play total.
After all, that’s not prone to be the case going ahead, and it’s not like all of them left one thing to be desired.
Josh Allen threw for 2 touchdowns and ran for one more two, and Derek Carr seemed just like the second coming of Peyton Manning in that recreation vs. the Carolina Panthers.
On the draw back, Lamar Jackson missed two wide-open throws to probably tie the sport vs. the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs, and Deshaun Watson and Daniel Jones seemed removed from a starting-caliber quarterback.
Even so, that’s going to alter because the gamers get their legs again underneath them, as there’s simply an excessive amount of expertise at QB for this to turn into the brand new regular.
