Passing grades: Russell Wilson one of three rookie QBs to win Sunday
By Jerry Brewer | The Seattle Times
Last week, the league's five rookie quarterbacks who are starting combined for 11 interceptions and one victory. Robert Griffin III was the only one of the five, who wasn't picked off. He was also the only one of the five whose team won.
This week, the results were much more favorable for both the rookie quarterbacks and their teams:
| Player (Team) | Comp.-Att | Yards | TD-INT | QB rating | Result | Opponent | ||
| Andrew Luck (Colts) 1st round (No. 1 overall) | 20-31 | 224 | 2-3 | 107.5 | Win, 23-20 | vs. Minnesota | ||
| Robert Griffin III (Washington) 1st round (No. 2) | 20-29 | 206 | 1-1 | 86.3 | Loss, 28-31 | at St. Louis | ||
| Ryan Tannehill (Miami) 1st round (No. 8) | 18-30 | 200 | 1-0 | 91 | Win, 35-13 | vs. Oakland | ||
| Brandon Weeden (Browns) 1st round (No. 22) | 12-35 | 322 | 0-4 | 5.1 | Loss, 17-16 | vs. Philadelphia | ||
| Russell Wilson (Seattle) 3rd round (No. 75) | 15-20 | 151 | 1-0 | 112.7 | Win, 27-7 | vs. Dallas | ||
How have they fared for the season? Well, Wilson has the fewest passing yards of the five quarterbacks, but the second-highest quarterback rating.
| Player (Team) | Comp.-Att | Comp. Pct. | Yards | TD-INT | QB rating | Result | ||
| Andrew Luck (Colts) 1st round (No. 1 overall) | 43-76 | 56.6 | 533 | 3-3 | 75.2 | 1-1 | ||
| Robert Griffin III (Washington) 1st round (No. 2) | 39-55 | 70.9 | 526 | 3-1 | 111.6 | 1-1 | ||
| Ryan Tannehill (Miami) 1st round (No. 8) | 38-68 | 62.6 | 419 | 1-3 | 62.6 | 1-1 | ||
| Brandon Weeden (Browns) 1st round (No. 22) | 38-72 | 52.8 | 440 | 2-4 | 57.6 | 0-2 | ||
| Russell Wilson (Seattle) 3rd round (No. 75) | 33-54 | 61.1 | 304 | 2-0 | 81.1 | 1-1 | ||
