Looks like we are about to have 6 starting QBs from last seasons draft going into this season. (Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye, Penix, JJ McCarthy and Bo Nix)
Feels like its something but I wonder if there are similar seasons or even seasons that challenge this one before?
I've only been paying attention since like 09 and I think I haven't seen something like this yet, but it might've happened and I just didn't puzzle it together

It was quite a good QB class. Jury out on whether all of them will last, but I'd bet on at least 4 being semi long term starters.

Honestly, all the national game schedules (TNF, MNF, SNF) look far better than they have been - they're almost all at least playoff or near-playoff vs playoff teams, or divisional games.

Edit: Packers, like the rest of the NFC North, have much tougher divisions than last year, but also get a rough start on top of that, getting the Lions in week one, then a short week for TNF, then a bye in Week 5 - bleh.

Edit 2: Like usual, I need the annotated version of the Chargers video - it's filled with in- / weird jokes, like the to-scale Acropolis in Nashville.

Before they finally locked down the pay scale for draft picks, a first round QB almost always was the starter year one since so much money was being dumped there.

The draft in 83 was probably the best QB class - you had 6 QBs taken in the first round, 3 of which were hall of famers (Elway, Marino, Kelly)

The most recent that stands out in memory in terms of quantity was 99 (that draft always stands out in my memory though since it was also the one where Mike Ditka traded all his picks to trade up and pick Ricky Williams).

First Round:
Tim Couch
Donovan McNabb
Akili Smith
Daunte Culpepper
Cade McNown

Shaun King was drafted in the 2nd and also started games as a rookie.
