Week 1 of the NFL season was, well, at least a little weird.
The 2024 season's first Sunday saw the opening weekend's biggest favorite lose to the lowly New England Patriots at home. The Chicago Bears overcame a 17-0 deficit without a single offensive touchdown. One of the league's best quarterbacks was Sam by-god Darnold.
This left a Sunday loaded with quarterbacks who underwhelmed. But which were truly the most disappointing?
Fortunately, we’ve got tools to better understand just how damaging these underwhelming performances were. Using the advanced stat expected points added (EPA) can gauge how much a quarterback brings to the table compared to a typical player.
