Taking this news at face value, the first thing that pops up for me searching 'fractured scapula': Again taking this at face value, that could explain a few things.

Yeah, but we know Derek took this $hit serious... real serious.

Slye's gonna kick extra hard, but not necessarily extra accurate.

Trey Smith has an 82.2 on PFF for the year and is starting for the Chiefs. He absolutely was the better and correct choice even without the benefit of hindsight, though I will concede that WFT picked an LS right after Fletcher.

You mean only 2 truly great QBs... #damyeunecraig4life

By a score of 9-6 at that.

The Jets beat the Titans... anything is possible.

Another vote for Jeff Lewis.

Bootlegs like that frequently have the line flowing like that to simulate a run and get the DL and LBs flowing that direction, creating separation between them and the crossing receiver. That appears to be a smart/disciplined play from the DE who stayed home or perhaps was even schemed to be watching for exactly that type of action on that play.

Denver also has career NFL coaches running that show who have proven they understand professional football. I think Snow looks to be making/has made that transition but Rhule and Brady are still question marks IMO.

By all means, please continue to completely miss and/or willfully ignore the point.

I mean, Darnold did already achieve what Teddy failed to do in 8 tries last year. That doesn't make him automatically better by any means, but it does highlight the fortitude missing in Teddy's game. Not going anywhere meaningful without it; just ask the pre-Mahomes Chiefs.

Didn't see a single State Farm ad with Aaron in it today. Not all that surprising, but a stark contrast to how the rest of the season has been.

Denver also has the #3 defense by scoring in the NFL and caught Dallas on their worst day. Teddy and the Broncos have had their clocks cleaned by every other competent team they've faced, noting that garbage time have made things look closer than a few actually were (Dallas today included), and barely snuck by WFT. What does this mean? That Teddy is exactly who we know him to be, a middling QB who can avoid losing games when things are perfect around him but can't/won't elevate the team to rise to the level of higher competition. He's having a much better year than Sam, sure, but Carolina wouldn't be going anywhere with him and this staff except to perhaps a wild card loss. I'm not going to say that watching Carolina lose is a good thing because this is pretty awful, but it will be worth it if it exposes the emperor's lack of clothes and gets things on the right track. I will say I'm 100% with Jawny that last year was more than enough of Bridgewater's milquetoast BS when things mattered the most. Good riddance.

Teddy absolutely was (and remains) a problem/weakness for any team that is hoping to have an offense that can consistently (key word there, as fluky games like today vs Dallas always happen) compete with the best. Carolina moving on was the right decision, but unfortunately it's shaping up like the braintrust (Rhule/ Fitterer/Brady/Tepper/whatever mix thereof) has made another poor and potentially even worse call. That's always a possibility with aggressive action.

Sam puts it on the back corner and DJ had a shot but man, that ball was nowhere near the area it had to be. Looking really bad today.

That was a Madden-esque magnet-hands pick.

No. No they wouldn't.

It's not the grab, it was the kick/pressure of Burns' ankle/knee area that was uncalled for.

Marcus Cannon's leg whip on Charles Johnson in 2013 altered the course of his season as well. Fug'em.

Way to wrap up, Shaq!

Even then, it can absolutely be a mix of two things. Can Mayfield need to improve AND OBJ be overrated/not worth his contract and any chemistry issues...? No surprise a team would choose to retain a viable QB option vs another player in that situation.

That unit is certainly offensive at times.

They do currently have an on-field opening for a diva receiver. Sign him up.
