Im not sure about that. I think Chiefs fans think that if they were going to take a tackle number one that he better be Orlando Pace ish. I don't have a whole lot of experience with a Linemen being taken number one overall, but Joe Thomas went third, and in his first game, he looked absolutely awful. The Steelers beat his ass, and Charlie Frye got sacked like 9 times.
I think he turned out okay though.
I think everyone expects qbs to struggle. A lot of people think that Andrew Luck Struggled last year. Im not sure how a guy that led his team to the playoffs, and a bunch of come from behind victories struggled.
But, people do forget too, that Peyton Manning his rookie season, threw something like 21 tds, and 28 ints, and his team won very few games, because they drafted edge number 4 the next year.
There is a transition, and a struggle to the league. As long as he is progressing as the season goes on, then its not big deal. A rookie is a rookie.
