It's against the Falcons scrubs so you may want to dial it back a bit.

It's against the Broncos back ups, but Mitch is playing with his back ups too. You can't deny the throws the guy has made so far. That 18yd out that he put on the money while on the run is something a lot of starters can't do. A good throw is a good throw, no matter who it's against.

Sorry, Broncos scrubs.  Being the best turd in the toilet still makes it turd.   All it shows is he needs to move up the debt chart against stiffer competition.  If he does it against 1st team players then I will join in with you.

OK, explain to me exactly how an accurate throw against scrubs wouldn't be an accurate throw against starters. I could understand it if you made the case that the WR's couldn't get open  against the Broncos starters but a good throw is a good throw...period.

It was a good throw.  But temper it with a smidgen of reality of the quality of the competition is all I'm saying.  If you want to crown his ass then crown him!

I'm thinking Mr. Snow just isn't huge on preseason performance.

He's a QB, not a LT. Regardless of the competition, he still has to make the exact same reads and the exact same throws. And again, he's playing behind a back up line and with back up WR's too, so it's all pretty equal.

No, I don't get too hyped over these scrimmages  It's a good way to judge depth but that's about it.  I just get a kick out of how hyped up you guys get over what is essentially practice reps.

Then by all means crown him.

I'm not crowning him, but if you can't admit that he looks about as good as a a rookie QB can look in his first reps, then you'e the one with the problem. You mentioned turds, but you should have said that Glennon was the turd in this particular bowl.

The fact is, you can tell a lot about QB's in the pre season. I remember watching Tom Brady in his first pre season and it was obvious that he could play in this league.

Alvin Kamara looks as legit as I've heard about in camp. Only thing that will hold him back is depth in front of him.

Defense looks good, but it's Osweiller.

Obligatory Ted Ginn drop.

Fug the saints, but I will admit y'all got a good one in Kamara. He was one of the best RB's to come through Knoxville in several years.

Did I not say it was a good throw?  The discussion was about Turbisky was it not?   Glennon is and has always been a turd so what's your point?  I don't have a problem because I don't cheer for any of them.  You seem to have a problem because I don't share your enthusiasm about players not on my favorite team?  Anyway, I'm done debating about these scrubs.   Enjoy your Turdisky party.

He looked pretty good tonight. Good wiggle and power. Speed to turn the corner. Split him out wide a couple times. I think he'll have a decent year.

I'm the most real rival fan on this board. I didn't say team, I said offense...our historic ranking backs that up. And best I remember, we lit up every defense, including yours. 

Talk about my momma, talk about us choking, don't talk about our offense.

You are no apple roofing guy.
