THE TAKE
Tyler Shough is the best quarterback out of this 2025 draft class. He's playing better than any other rookie quarterback has played this year. And I'll put J.J. McCarthy in that because obviously he didn't play his rookie year.

GRADING CRITERIA
TRUE IF
Tyler Shough's 2025 rookie season statistics (passer rating, QBR, TD-to-INT ratio, yards per attempt, or composite efficiency metrics) rank first among all 2025 draft class quarterbacks who played meaningful snaps in the 2025 NFL regular season, excluding J.J. McCarthy who did not play due to injury. Take is
FALSE IF
another rookie QB from the 2025 class posts clearly superior overall efficiency and production numbers by end of the 2025 regular season.
