2012 NFL Rookie QBs & their stats

I think this is the best year for rookie QBs, I know I never seen anything like it. QBs such as Tannehill and Weeden, they have bad numbers if it was an experienced starter but just a few years ago they would be having seasons considered "pretty good for a rookie". I listed the ones that I think got a fair amount of playing time, I included Ryan Lindley to stay consistent w/ that even though his numbers tarnishes the others and the overall rookie class. Time will tell if this is best QB class ever but there are QBs such as Osweiler (who was picked before Wilson, Foles, & Cousins) who could end up really putting the stamp on this draft class if he turns out to be a pretty good QB if given a chance once Manning is no longer w/. Denver. There is also Kellen Moore who is on the Lions roster but doubtful if he'll ever see playing time.

Robert Griffin III - 233/351 - 2,902 yds, 8.27 YPA, 18 TD, 4 INT Rushing - 748 yards, 6.7 YPC, 6 TDs

Andrew Luck - 295/537 - 3,792 yds, 7.06 YPA, 18 TD, 18 INT Rushing - 233 yds, 4.6 YPC, 5 TDs One point favoring Luck over Griffin(and possibly Wilson)
