I'm sorry, but the tape says otherwise haha. Aside from that, he was under pressure almost constantly. For his first NFL experience, there was plenty to be excited about watching his poise as he reacted tot he pressure. No happy feet, eyes downfield, etc.
As for Lynch, I already said all that...
Dak and Wentz the best looking rookie QBs after preason game 1. Lynch had a nice completion percentage but didn't face enough NFL situations for me to really gauge him. He saw very little pressure and consistently had a clean pocket. He also got lucky on the one time he evaded pressure because...
Those are going to be some long damn baseball games with his 30 second windup. Plus, I'm not at all interested in seeing him genuflect after every called strike.

NFC North

1b. Glover Quin (Detroit)--there was really no question, here.
3. Ha Ha Clinton Dix (Green Bay)--I personally don't think he's great on every down, but he's a splash play waiting to happen.
4. Morgan Burnett...
NFC North:
1. Slay (Detroit)--Established himself as the best corner in the division quite decisively. These other guys aren't extremely far behind but Slay's the best right now.
2a. Rhodes (Minnesota)--He would be an elite corner if he'd get some damned interceptions, but he doesn't get a...
