RSS FeedQuarterback Changes 2018 to 2019
By Chris Malumphy
A dozen teams had a new primary QB in 2019 based on pass attems. The 49ers with Jimmy Garoppolo showed the most improvement adding nine victories. Lamar Jackson helped the Ravens add four victories over 2018 and the Cardinals gained 2.5 behind rookie Kyler Murray. The Redskins lost four more than a year ago and the Colts three more than in 2018.
Of course, even though they had fewer attempts, Drew Lock had a better record for the Broncos than Joe Flacco this season just as Dwayne Haskins led the Redskins to more victories than Case Keenum.
