This is the first week this year that we saw five teams starting their rookie QBs. It may be way too early to assess this, but none of these QBs should probably be starting in the NFL. It's not their faults either, you have these coaches out there that all think they drafted the next best thing and try to rush these "delusions of grandeur" (Star Wars Reference) into their minds that not only should they automatically have a starting job, but that they should be good at it.
Below I have included the seasonal stats of all Rookie QBs who started week 3
Trevor Lawrence: 5-TD passing, 6-INT, 54.24% passing, 669yds, 0-TD Rushing, 2 fumbles, 3 starts, 3 total games
Zach Wilson: 2-TD passing, 7-INT, 55.24% passing, 628yds, 0-TD Rushing, 1 fumble, 3 starts, 3 total games
Justin Fields: 0-TD passing, 1-TD Rushing, 1-INT, 40% passing, 138yds, 1-TD Rushing, 1 fumble, 1 start, 3 total games
Mac Jones: 2-TD passing, , 3-INT, 67.5% passing, 737yds, 0-TD Rushing, 2 fumbles, 3 starts, 3 total games
Davis Mills: 2-TD passing, 1-INT, 58.7% passing, 270yds, 0-TD Rushing, 1 fumble, 1 start, 2 total games

Yeah, it's not looking too good for them right now. The Jaguars should have kept Gardner Minshew and let Trevor Lawrence learn behind an "interesting" but seasoned QB. Also calling "BUST" on Lawrence, I think he'll fade out in 3-4 years. The Jets are trash and I honestly was going to start trashing Adam Gase until I realized he got fired after last season lol; the Jets came into this season with 3 QBs on the roster that had zero NFL starts between any of them so what the hell did you expect from "SUPER BUST" Zach Wilson? The Bears put up the lowest amount of passing yards from any team in the last century against the Browns. The cameras caught Nick Foles on the sideline telling and injured Andy Dalton that "Matt's offense just isn't working", I would love to be in that QB room this week...."NOT" -Wayne's World. It doesn't matter who you put in Nagy's offense whether it's Trubisky, Fields, Dalton, or even Jesus Christ; 90% they will look like shit; calling "BUST" on Nagy. Mac Jones has seasoned athletes and coaches around him, but he actually may just be making rookie mistakes; probably won't be great by any means but I won't put the "BUST" label on him just yet. Last but probably least comes the Texans who had Davis Mills take the start because of an injury and multiple sexual assaults' (allegedly). Honestly not much the Texans could have done about that, but they should probably just forfeit the rest of the season and come back next year. Can't put the "BUST" label on Mills because he's exactly who we though he is.
TLDR:
NFL teams should not start Rookie QBs, it won't help them progress and makes the Head Coach look like a dumbass.
Prediction:
Chicago Bears (1-16)
