Not everyone was as productive and successful as Washington Redskins rookie Robert Griffin III. Of the five rookie quarterbacks starting in Week 1, only RGIII won a game. Perhaps because he was the only one who didn't throw an interception. Perhaps not.
Here's a look at the numbers on all five rookie debuts.
| PLAYER | TEAM | COMP | ATT | PCT | YDS | TD | INT | W/L |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Robert Griffin III | Redskins | 19 | 26 | 73.1 | 320 | 2 | 0 | W, 40-32 |
| Andrew Luck | Colts | 23 | 45 | 51.1 | 309 | 1 | 3 | L, 41-21 |
| Ryan Tannehill | Dolphins | 20 | 36 | 55.6 | 219 | 0 | 3 | L, 30-10 |
| Brandon Weeden | Browns | 12 | 35 | 34.3 | 118 | 0 | 4 | L, 17-16 |
| Russell Wilson | Seahawks | 18 | 34 | 52.9 | 153 | 1 | 1 | L, 20-16 |
