Game #1: LA Chargers @ Josh Rosen (0-1)
Josh Rosen’s second start in Miami will provide him with the opportunity to shoot up the Miami Dolphins stat boards.
– With a win he can move out of the 0 win Dolphins club and join the 1 win Dolphins club:
Craig Erickson (1-2), Kyle Mackey (1-2), Daunte Culpepper (1-3), Cleo Lemon (1-7), Rick Norton (1-10),
– A loss will keep him mired in the 0 win Dolphins club: Tyler Thigpen (0-1), Ryan Fitzpatrick (0-2), Bernie Kosar (0-2), Sage Rosenfels (0-2), John Beck (0-4), Dick Wood (0-4), Trent Green (0-5)
COMP: He needs 2 completion to pass Ryan Fitzpatrick, 4 to pass David Fales, 8 to pass Scott Secules, and 12 to pass Tyler Thipgen.
ATT: Rosen needs 11 attempts to pass Secules and Thigpen.
YARDS: Rosen is currently 1 passing yard behind Fitzpatrick, 91 behind Scott Secules and 216 behind Tyler Thigpen.
TDS: With 1 TD he’ll tie a number of people at 1. This list includes QBs like Ryan Fitzpatrick, George Mira, and Ron Jaworski, as well as position players Mark Clayton, Terry Kirby, Danny Amendola, Keith Byars and current Houston Texan: Kenny Stills.
A 2nd TD will tie him with Daunte Culpepper and RB Ronnie Brown.
Game #2: Kyle Allen (2-0) @ Houston
2nd year Carolina QB Kyle Allen is taking the Atlantic by storm, and this week he turns his attention on the Houston Texans.
COMP: Kyle Allen has 39 completions, and David Carr is up next at 73, so this week it’s unlikely he passes anyone.
ATT: Kyle Allen needs 2 to pass Taylor Heinicke.
YARDS: Allen needs 109 to pass David Carr.
TDs: Allen needs 1 to tie Derek Anderson
WINS: At 2-0, Allen has the opportunity to pass Derek Anderson (2-2), Vinny Testaverde (2-4), and Chris Weinke (2-17). This would put Allen in 7th place all-time on the Panthers Win List.
Game #3: Case Keenum (0-3) @ Daniel Jones (1-0)
The QB Watch Game of the Week sees rookie Daniel Jones host the struggling Case Keenum.
WINS: Keenum desperately needs a win. At 0-3, he’s tied with John Beck for 2nd worst Washington starting record. Only Harry Gilmer (0-8) was more feeble.
A win will tie him at 1 with Jeff George (1-6), Colt McCoy (1-5), John Friesz (1-3), Tim Hasselbeck (1-4), Rich Gannon (1-3), Jim Ninowski (1-1), and Josh Johnson (1-2).
With rookie Dwayne Haskins lurking in the wings, Keenum’s chances of climbing high on this list are low.
Daniel Jones can pass several Giants with a win: Bob Clatterbuck (1-1), Randy Dean (1-2), Gary Wood (1-8), and Randy Johnson (1-8).
COMP: Keenum could move up several spots. He needs 4 to pass Jack Scarbath, 10 to pass Tim Hasselbeck, 11 to pass Stan Humphires, and 20 to pass John Friesz.
Jones (26) only needs 4 completions to pass Frank Gifford (29), 5 to pass Randy Dean (30), 7 to pass David Carr (32), 8 to pass Travis Tidwell (33), 9 to pass Emery Nix (34) and 14 to pass Marion Pugh (39). Jones could move up 10 spots with a real solid game.
ATT: Keenum needs 2 to pass Rich Gannon, 5 to pass Todd Collins, 9 to pass John Beck, and 21 to pass Jeff Hostetler.
A repeat of last week (36 attempts) could see Jones pass 17 people on this list. Notable potential highlights: Jones (40) could pass Tom Landry (47), David Carr (48), Frank Gifford (63).
YDS: Keenum needs 81 to pass Tim Hasselbeck (1012), and 175 to pass Stan Humphries (1106).
A repeat of last week (336 yards) would see him pass a number of people on this list. Jones already has 353 yards. Say goodbye: David Carr (359), Jesse Palmer (562),
TDS: A TD would break his tie with Jeff George (7); 2 would pass Colt McCoy (8). A monster game could potentially bring Keenum into double digits where he’d have a chance the next game to move up a little higher.
Daniel Jones’ 2 Passing TDs has him tied with Odell Beckham. A TD will see him join Jesse Palmer and David Carr with 3.
Game #4: Seattle @ Kyler Murray (0-2-1)
– Kyler Murray’s rookie season has seen him inch closer towards that elusive first win. This week at home against a much better Seattle team is not a likely opportunity.
WINS: A number of Cardinal QBs never managed to get the first win: Sammy Garza (0-1), Jim McMahon (0-1), Brian Hoyer (0-1), Stoney Case (0-1), John Navarre (0-1), Shaun King (0-2), Sam Bradford (0-3), Stan Gelbaugh (0-3)
Murray is likely to eventually move off this list, but for now Ryan Lindley (1-5) is able to lord one thing over Murray.
COMP: Murray should pass a handful of Cardinals this week with Blaine Gabbert being the most likely. Murray is 11 behind Blaine.
ATT: Murray (137) is a touch behind Steve Pisarkiewicz (138), and should pass Phil Sarboe (145), Hugh McCullough (148), Frank Tripucka (149), among others.
YDS: Murray (830) should pass 1000 yards this week. He should pass half a dozen Cardinals in the process
TDS: Murray (4) is tied with a multitude of QBs: Jay Schroeder, Pat Coffee, and former Junction Boy John David Crow. He can pass a lot of names at 5, but he’ll have his eye on 6 where he can join Blaine Gabbert.
NOTE: This is the second QB watch franchise where Blaine Gabbert can be passed on Sunday.
Game #5: Gardner Minshew II (1-1) @ Denver
Folk hero Gardner Minshew II takes his talents to the Mile High City. Minshew has already been shredding the bottom half of the Jaguar QB list, and this week he’ll start taking aim at the upper half.
WINS: At 1-1, Minshew is a win away from moving into 7th in wins. Yes, it only takes 2 wins to get to #7 on the Jaguars Win List. He’d tie Quinn Gray (2-2), and current Patriot Cody Kessler (2-2).
COMP: Minshew (65) is one away from Jonathan Quinn (66), 6 from Steve Beuerlein (71), and 20 away from Cody Kessler (85). If this was a Wazzu game, Minshew should have no problem reaching that high.
ATT: Minshew (88) is only capable of passing Jay Fiedler (94) this week.
YDS: Minshew (692) could pass Kessler (709), Quinn (748), and has an outside chance of passing Beuerlein (952).
TDS: Minshew (5) is already 8th in TDs. 7th is Quinn Gray at 12 so Minshew may need some more time.
NOTE: Denver is a team that could potentially fall under the purview of QB Watch is Joe Flacco continues to struggle. The backup is former Arkansas QB Brandon Allen, so he’d a real QB Watch treasure.
Game #6: Dallas @ Teddy Bridgewater (1-1)
New Orleans was a team that didn’t feel like they’d appear on QB Watch anytime soon, but life in the NFL can change on a dime.
WINS: Bridgewater (1-1) can pass Jake Delhomme (1-1) and join the 2 win club: Kerry Collins (2-5), Danny Wuerffel (2-4), and Billy Joe Tolliver (2-9).
COMP: Bridgewater (50) and Delhomme are tied. Next up would be Todd Bouman at 75, which is a possibility but not guaranteed.
ATT: Bridgewater (80) should pass Doug Nussmeier (82), and Delhomme (86).
YDS: Bridgewater (460) should pass Mike Buck (519) and Jake Delhomme (634). Bouman (803) is unlikely for this week.
TDS: Bridgewater (3) is tied with Bouman and Delhomme. A TD would see him tie Kerry Collins and RB Dalton Hilliard (4).
