    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.

                          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?

                                        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.
