Top 10 Rookie Seasons

[@gabrielmambo5436]

I love how Kurt Warner is in the thumbnail but wasn’t even a rookie during that Super Bowl run…

[@GrocMax]

Which one? Kurt, the QB or Curt the RB? Curt Warner the RB should be on this list. Had more yards on fewer carries than AD his rookie season. AD is listed 10th. AFC offensive rookie of the year, 1600+ yds- Curt Warner, 3rd pick after Elway and Dickerson, everybody forgets him. He was sweetness before sweetness was sweetness. Pretty sure he had more YFS than Dickerson in 83. Bad astroturf killed the careers of a shitload of players, Curt Warner among them.

[@christophwiland7917]

What really stinks is how Randy Moss’s phenomenal rookie season in ‘98 overshadowed what Fred Taylor was doing as a rookie in the same season. A lot of people don’t realize that it was honestly a neck and neck race for offensive rookie of the year for a majority of that season, and Moss just pulled away over the last couple of games.

[@johnselwitz5362]

Randy Moss was phenomenal in his rookie season, but I think LT should’ve been number one. Moss got drafted by a Vikings team that was already pretty good, making the playoffs 5 of the previous 6 seasons, whereas Taylor went to a Giants team that was terrible for nearly two decades, missing the postseason for 17 consecutive seasons, and LT pretty much single-handedly made them relevant again by helping the Giants make the playoffs his rookie year, winning Defensive MVP and Defensive Rookie of the Year in the same season. Players like that come around once in a generation, if that, and typically they’re offensive players. He’s the greatest linebacker to ever play the sport, while I think Moss is the third best receiver ever behind Jerry Rice and Marvin Harrison.

Im a bit late. Your comment is 7 months old. But i completely with both your points.

I should note the other rookies to lead their teams to Championships were Arnie Herber (1930, backed up in 1931) and Otto Graham (1946, backed up in 1947-1950). Also, prior to Bob Waterfield's arrival, the Rams had gone into recess in 1943 due to an exodus of players and team personnel to military service, and were a very poor team (one .500 season in seven years, and .338 in franchise history). As of 2021, no rookie QB has won, much less played in, the Super Bowl.

[@Ravens-Nation-34]

@Harry Engel I could not disagree more. Most running backs never even produce the numbers or success Eric had as a rookie in there 5th year. He was the sole focus of the offense for the 5 years he was with the Rams, colts included. Randy is playing wide receiver, in a offense where it is easy to generate those stats. Eric had over 2000 yards from scrimmage and ran for 100 against Dallas in the playoffs. The Vikings were a decent team before Moss arrived, not super bowl contenders, but were good enough to make the playoffs. How many receivers now are putting up Randy's number? Take away Moss, the Vikings still make the playoffs, take away Eric, I don't know if the Rams even finish 8-8. Eric's records still stand to this day.

[@s.tavares3257]

@@Ravens-Nation-34 Moss made a bigger impact. There was never a receiver with his combination of size, speed hands and jumping ability. He re-invented the bomb.

[@Gungho73]

I respect Curt Warners inclusion on the list. If you put a team on the national map by not only going to the playoffs, but taking the team through upsets to hit the conference championship game? That team had a capable QB and the greatest WR at the time in Steve Largent. Curt Warner turned them from a special teams/aerial show in which they pulled games out of their *** in some way into a team that could and would want to run over opponents till they cried uncle. Chuck Knox may have not won a SB iirc but the guy was a fantastic coach who made good football teams. If he could run it 50 times a game he'd want 60. I mean that was the type of demand he asked out of his players in terms of physicality on offense and it showed in every team he ran. It's a shame he's forgotten, because I think modern Seattle fans will always remember the centerpiece that was Marshawn Lynch for their SB teams. But he probably deserves that same reverence as the man who did it first in the Emerald City.

[@fortynights1513]

Curt Warner’s segment was originally included and deservedly so. However you will not see it today, as nowadays his spot was replaced by Odell Beckham Jr in 2014 (who had a great rookie receiver season, but the team didn’t improve a ton; though not on him).

[@Matt-cr4vv]

The team winning all those games and starting 14-0 as the starter is why he made this list at all. The measurement is player output, aka their stats, and team performance. If you notice the lower slots are players where one of the measurements is too good to leave them off but the other measurement is fairly mediocre. AP was at 10 because while his stats were absurd the team was 8-8. Ben is low on the list because the team measurement was outstanding but his personal production was mediocre but people will argue it’s more than it was because of how the team performed. His season maxed out the scale on one measurement and was middle of the road on the other, thus he was on the list but lower on the list. The Steelers won a ton of games which is why the season is seen as so great on his part but if you left everything the same but the team was 10-6 and you genuinely measured how good he was as a rookie with more of a focus on his personal production that doesn’t fall back on the team record suddenly things would change. He would be at the top if he had strong numbers, the team was scoring a bunch of points and he was carrying them to a chunk of the wins. But in the 13 starts in the season he threw for less than 200 yards in 9 of them. The team scored less than 20 points in 5 games. They’re not going to rank a season that was primarily successfully managing games resulting in a lot of wins at the very top when there are other seasons where not only did a players team win a lot of games but they also had top production and a huge impact. Even your argument for why he should’ve been higher acknowledges that he was managing those games when you say that a bunch of other guys had similar set ups but caused their teams to lose. Ben’s success was that he carried out what he was told to do effectively and didn’t cost the team games when they were winning. And then when they did lose it was because he threw three picks. He stepped up for sure but based on their scale he’s properly placed.

As an update I would nominate Justin Herbert's rookie season as truly remarkable. He broke numerous records as a rookie, but it was the circumstances under which it occurred that season which make it so memorable. Because of the pandemic there were no pre-season games for Herbert to get his feet wet. He didn't even start or play in the opening game of the season where fans were not admitted. Then, in the second game the most unlikely of scenarios occurs. While standing on the sidelines and cheering on the kickoff return team, Herbert is told he's going in after the opening kickoff! While trying to inject a painkiller into the starting QB's ribs the team doctor had accidentally punctured a lung so now the starter was on his way to the hospitable and Herbert was on his way to stardom.

Anyone else wondering how the hell josh freeman made the top 100 list? Above frank gore, joe flacco, lance briggs like wtf😂

[@jstewlly4747]

JMarr Chase should be up here and Micah Parsons also Jevon Kearse will always have the best defensive rookie season

[@pp3k3jamail]

This show came out in 2007 and there's other defensive players who had better rookie seasons than Jevon kearse

[@michaelomalley5186]

Most overrated RB of all time is Emmit Smith. Any back could have ran behind the Crygirls offensive line.

[@damonalston2317]

Marinos was throwing darts 🎯

[@GatCat]

Being a rookie in the NFL must be much harder than any other league.

[@mathewmckenna297]

Fun fact: Rooney and the Steeler's passed on Marino because he was selling cocaine or at least that's what the rumor was. Had this not been the case the Steelers would have drafted him and possibly won several more Super Bowls.

[@Redmenace96]

You never know with gossip... it is poison. Many years ago, I hung out with a Cleveland and Pittsburgh crowd. They said the same thing. In college, he partied hard and the NFL teams heard about it and thought he might burn out. Cocaine was always central to the story. The draft is a crapshoot. Gossip might save you, and it might doom you. In 1983 the culture thought drug use was a terminal affliction. Yes, Ryan Leaf. No, Dan Marino. who knows?

[@MichaelJW72]

I think the rumor was he was using it.

[@lynnerose7891]

With what receivers 😂😂😂😂😂

[@toekneecovarrubias6185]

I already know #1 is gonna b randy moss, but everyone always forgets about Chris Carter on tht team. Carter had the greatest hands

"Where's Dick Butkus! This East Coast Bias!" "Um, No1 is a Vikings Receiver, No 2 is a Rams RB, number 4 is fucking Gale Sayers who was drafted in the same year by the same team as Dick Butkus"

[@RobD-jq7ry]

By all rights i wouldve been rookie of the year for sure...no doubt about it. But i went undrafted. Yep If coach wouldve put me in things wouldve been different.

[@robertogonzales1956]

Curt Warner suffered from being in Seattle just like Kenny Easley.

[@Rob-x7f]

Lol why is Matt Ryan on here? He was awful

[@orangeviperau9960]

2008 his rookie season are amazing, 2007 falcons are 1-15 and him makes 08 falcons playoffs

[@jamescharles1588]

Joe Green ?

[@jakejones451]

Cam Newton this list please

[@robertnewell4054]

Never bet on an USC QB to live up to his hype, otherwise win. USC is good for RB, DB, LB, WR & even OL. But their QB’s are destined to disappoint 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@johnselwitz5362]

Unless their name is Carson Palmer

[@bricedixon113]

Same thing with Alabama qbs

[@mikebostic9518]

Peterson should be higher than 10

[@pittland44]

If AP had played and started the full season he absolutely would be higher. He was a monster as it was.

[@Minivanmusician]

Barry better be on here, Lion or not

[@dumisatonyjohnson8145]

No other Wide Receiver in NFL history had a better rookie season than 1998 NFL ROTY Randy Moss

[@wesleypepple7525]

It doesn't matter they never win anywhere

[@dumisatonyjohnson8145]

@@wesleypepple7525 The Vikings had a mediocre defense Defense wins championships not offense unless you’re the 1989 49ers or the 1999 Rams

[@c.moriarty1178]

Some insurance companies try to lure you in with promises of NFL Top 10 Rookie Seasons

[@KorithStoneheart]

I understand that the NFL and a lot of the fans favor the offense but to not put Lawrence Taylor as the number one rookie of all time is just ludicrous. Fix it.

[@cobracmr4]

Randy didn't have the best rookie year ever.

[@daccitv4651]

People act like Big Ben came to an AMAZING TEAM. Bro they were 6-10 the year before, then they draft him and they go 15-1 and then win the SB in his second year. Stop the hate😂

[@michaelhession2105]

They were a contending team, it's just that in 2003 they were destroyed by injuries mainly on defense.
