#1 Overall QBs with 4000 passing yards as a rookie

[Battlelyon]

I predict Caleb will become the first Bear to throw for 4,000 yards this season - even if he doesn’t look great in doing so.

Unless it is a 18 game season than I doubt it.

I would imagine Stafford did it because he always put up numbers. I don't believe Cam did it because he ran so much.

Winston all over 4k.

Im sorry, we were looking for “passing yards” not “interceptions”

To be fair, he actually is on the list

 

[Shanemansj13]

He is averaging 210. At that pace he will get to 3,600 yards. Won’t matter if he throws 12 TD’s and 16 INT’s.

Yeah, just jokes. The guy is a slinger for sure, just to everyone.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Without looking up or at the other replies, my guess is:

Luck
Stafford
Manning

I'll lookup later how close I was (once the time limit passes).

Agreed, kind of like Favre he's never seen a window he doesn't think he can fit the ball into.

157 yards passing for Caleb against a defense missing 3 corners at home. 4K seems like a stretch

Just needs 1300 yards these next 3 games, He might just do it, if each game goes into triple overtime.

Stafford dislocated his shoulder

 

[Mebert]

I feel like Luck is a lock, Mayfield seems solid chance? I want to say Herbert, but he is so forgotten he is not even on the list in the OP! He has always put up huge stats though

 

[Schmoopy1000]

Passing for 4000 yards in a season didn't really become a thing until the 1980s.

Here are all twenty-four QBs drafted #1 overall since 1980. Only three of them passed for 4000 yards as a rookie. Without looking it up who do you think they were?

And will Caleb Williams join them?

2023 Bryce Young
2021 Trevor Lawrence
2020 Joe Burrow
2019 Kyler Murray
2018 Baker Mayfield
2016 Jared Goff
2015 Jameis Winston
2012 Andrew Luck
2011 Cam Newton
2010 Sam Bradford
2009 Matthew Stafford
2007 JaMarcus Russell
2005 Alex Smith
2004 Eli Manning
2003 Carson Palmer
2002 David Carr
2001 Michael Vick
1999 Tim Couch
1998 Peyton Manning
1993 Drew Bledsoe
1990 Jeff George
1989 Troy Airman
1987 Vinny Testaverde
1983 John Elway

1st thought is Winston would lead the way.
Bledsoe, then I will guess Luck?

 

[Schmoopy1000]

Just read through the replies. Got two of the three.
Wouldnt have ever guessed Cam.

He started out his very first two games of his career throwing for over 400 yards. Through the first 5-games of the season that year he was on pace to go for over 5000 yards. Fell off quite a bit after that and turned into a more running QB.

this was the Cam I remembered. So I was never gonna guess that one right.

 

[SteelersPride]

I’m pretty sure Cam Newton and Jameis Winston got to 4,000 as rookies. Maybe Andrew Luck got there?

Cam is the man in this c

No Chicago Bear has ever thrown for 4000.

So, no.

Justin Fields still sucks fwiw.

Maybe youre right.

 

[Wazmankg]

I got them all .. it took 2 tries for the 3rd guy. I'd forgotten that Staff missed a lot of time his first couple of years. Hard to believe now that they used to call him Glassford for supposedly being so fragile.
