I think it's time to put a rest to the Bagent QB1 talk. He is a decent backup and game manager but the talent JF1 has puts Bagent to rest. Again, I like Bagent as a long-term backup but by no means is he our QB1 of the present of future

Three rookies who started today...now tell me why Bagent should be a backup while the other two should be starters?

Stroud 16/24 140 yards 1 TD

Young 22/31 225 1 TD

Bagent 25/37 232 1 TD

Bagent played alright. His team didn't help him out tonight, dropping TD pass, causing one of his INT, drive killing penalties and a defense that made Herbert look like a HOF qb. Bagent is just as good as any of the other rookie QBs starting this year, but weirdly prefer to hold him to a higher standard .

You’re pulling stats from one game and acting like this proves Bagent is on par with those two guys. Check the rest of Stroud’s game logs and tell me him and Bagent should remotely be in the same discussion as him

bagents only played two games, so there isn't a lot to compare

Agreed, there isn’t much to compare, so let’s not say the UDFA is as good as the first and second ovr picks based on one game.

You literally said “Bagent is just as good as any of the other rookie QBs starting this year.” How do you make that (untrue) assumption based on two starts? Such a small sample size

Context man. I am responding to the OP who claimed he is not a QB1 and only a backup.

The two games we have, so far, are on par with the other rookies drafted and playing this year.

There isn't enough to say he should be a starter but not to say he should be only a backup either.
