I'm thinking this may be the first time in a decade or longer that that may not be the case. With a new GM and a new head coach taking so much of the focus, I don't think there will be as much pressure or expectation on a new QB.

I bet if a high draft pick came in and had a season (statistically) that fell somewhere between Joe Flacco and Matt Ryan (ie 2500-3500 yards, 60% completions, decent TD/INT ratio), there wouldn't be much in the way of complaint at all, even if the team didn't win a lot of games.

But I've been wrong before.
