    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.

                      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.

                            Good fun game, I enjoyed it

                                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.
