The movements in the field Marshal position have given unexpected results for the main teams
The first quarter of the season could teach us that-sometimes-changing air in the most important position of American football is a real elixir of vitality.
The 2025 free agency promised to shake the NFL and after the first three weeks of the regular season we can see its fruits, as well as some unexpected results.
The field marshal carousel not only meant a change of pieces, but also put those in charge of making decisions that bet strongly on the position.
The most unlikely resurrection of the year. Of being discarded with the New York Giants to become the axis of an offensive that today is the second most productive of the NFL. Daniel Jones He has launched for at least 225 yards and a touchdown without interceptions in each game this year, in addition to adding scores by land. More than a signing, it was a theft of free agency for colts.
Fire test: This week Daniel Jones Face Los Angeles Rams who have one of the most aggressive defensive, capable of stopping even the current NFL champions, Philadelphia Eagles.
Seattle sought stability and Sam Darnold “ List for years as “failed promise”-he is delivering it. Sam Darnold Today we look among the most efficient quarters in the league, accumulating five touchdowns and two interceptions in the season.
The veteran did not arrive in Pittsburgh to withdraw in silence. With 510 TouchDown passes (fourth greater amount in the history of NFL) and 63,538 air yards (No. 6 of history), Aaron Rodgers It provides instant hierarchy. Before the Minnesota Vikings-his next rival-accumulates 7,401 air yards and 63 TouchDown passes in his career. Beyond the figures, he returned offensive credibility to a franchise that needed a proven leader.
Warning: These Vikings have been one of the most opportunistic teams in ball robberies, a trap for anyone who is trusted.
Its individual statistics are impressive, it is in second place in the League in air yards (831) and a 132.7 pin index until week 3. However, Raiders not with a winning team. Geno Smith He arrived with the pressure of an expensive exchange and the expectation of a contract extension; For now, personal brightness does not translate into victories.
Next test: A duel against the Chicago Bears and a defensive that already adds four interceptions.
Of promising replacement to total unknown. Justin Fields He showed flashes with his legs (49 terrestrial yards in week 2), but the offensive never started. The lesion that marginalizes it-a brain shock-could cost ownership … and the future in the jets.
Russell Wilson, New York Giants (0-3, degradado)
The clear loser of the group, was sent to the bank after defeat 22-9 against the Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday. Russell Wilson failed to shine last year with the steelers and this week the Giants They took ownership to leave the rookie Jaxson Dart.
Daniel Jones, Sam Darnold y Aaron Rodgers They prove that a new postal code can relive entire races and franchises.
Geno Smith, Justin Fields y Russell Wilsonon the other hand, they embody how cruel the NFL can be when expectations weigh more than victories.
If we can learn from this first quarter of the season is that the change of airs, well used, can turn a discarded quartback into a good headline in the right place.
