    It's so hard to read QBs in the NFL. Goff and Jimmy G both played in the Superbowl in the last two years, and at times looked the winner. Nick Foles actually won. And yet all three look pretty horrible this year, while rookies like Herbert and Burrow seem much more assured with far worse teams.

    Both were system QBs beaten by superior QBs. Jimmy is not required to do much in that offence, however when he is called upon to throw far down the field he is often found wanting. Imagine what a QB like Rogers could do with that O line. Get a top prospect if available and grab someone in like Fitzpatrick to run the cutter while the new kid is eased in

      @canefan bingo. McVay and Shanahan are elite playcallers that make Goff and Jimmy look better than they are.

        SNF is a big game, Saints v Tampa

        Tampa have had 3 possessions, 9 plays, 18 total yards. NO have more than 140 and a TD already.

                  that explains the very weird box score of 26 completions for only 216 yards.

                      Tough season to predict from here, so many close divisions

                      Things we know:
                      The NFC East is dogshit.
                      The Steelers will win their Division

                      Things that are very likely
                      The Chiefs will win theirs
                      The Patriots won't make the post season.

                      I feel like pretty much everything else is up for grabs

                        that said, he rescued 3rd and long many times today.

                            only against young QB.

                            OK, he's a bitch 😄

                              also, the two interceptions he threw yesterday were abysmal. No receiver anywhere near, and went straight to the Rams defenders.

                                Denver play the Saints with Lindsay out with a bad knee, and a bunch of guys tipped out for COVID, including the QB and the backup QB

                                And predictably get hosed

                                You reckon Tampa are happy with their QB trade?

                                  oh shit, i didn't realise the guy who played QB for Denver today was an undrafted rookie wide receiver!

                                    Think he only joined the practise squad this month as well. I feel for the bloke.

                                      At least in the NFL you get well compensated.

                                      The Broncos emergency QB got over $50K NZD for today's game.

                                        If you want to watch what blatant, "we're not even going to try and hide it" match fixing looks like

                                        Go watch the Jets tank against the Raiders.

                                        I feel sorry for these great college QBs that have to keep going to dumpster fire organisations.

                                          Huge win for Washington.

                                          It feels like finally they might be turning things around - it feels like they have some stability finally with Rivera at the helm as head coach and a new team president.

                                          First team to beat the Steelers.

                                          What a story Alex Smith is - from potentially losing his leg or even his life to leading Washington to 3 straight wins - he's a shoe in for Comeback Player Of The Year.

                                          Washington's defence is really impressive - a lot of high draft picks in the defensive line and well coached by veteran coach Del Rio.
