The framing lands because several of these players were handed starting jobs \u2014 and in some cases significant money \u2014 before they had proven they could hold up over a full season.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/atozsports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/51673-usatsi_21928213-1.jpg\" alt=\"NFL Week 2: The 2024 QB Class Is Sinking Fast\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>Sunday did not offer much reassurance. Around the league, defenses played with an edge, and more than one quarterback left his game banged up. The results cut against expectations, with favorites losing in ways that reshuffled how the division races look heading into Week 3.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net\/tenant\/amp\/entityid\/AA21og4s.img?w=4206&amp;h=2804&amp;m=4&amp;q=75\" alt=\"NFL Week 2: The 2024 QB Class Is Sinking Fast\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>The 2024 class was never guaranteed to hit. Every draft produces misses, and rookie-year flashes do not always translate. What makes this stretch notable is the timing. Teams that committed to these passers are now approaching the point where the contract and the roster around them start to harden, leaving less room to change course.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/8XkAZBboA6JfRxmV60Ve9Q--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/usa_today_sports_articles_558\/07f808d0b4a0eb9d1cfde93bfc5496b5\" alt=\"NFL Week 2: The 2024 QB Class Is Sinking Fast\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>For now, the questions outnumber the answers.
