Lock has a stronger arm but that’s about it. Which doesn’t say much for him. 

Just spoke with a hardcore Denver fan the other day, they’re all over in Utah. He said the same thing. Lock just bombed it and is a true gunslinger but that’s about it and his accuracy was horrible. To the point he was just lobbing it up all the time. Broncos are very heavily defensive minded and pretty much expect the defense to win their games.

I personally think the Broncos know they’re in rebuild mode with the offense, in which case what’s really the harm in letting TB play.

Yep. I get the Teddy hate is strong here but I’m not sure why I’m getting poo’d for that comment lol. Teddy isn’t a good QB. But unfortunately for Denver, Lock isn’t either.

Good times for Denver fans.

Even during their "Super Bowl win" over the Panthers, Manning basically got his ass benched in the late 3rd or early 4th after Kony Ealy intercepted or almost intercepted a pass.

I forget the details, thats a game I never care to remember again as long as I live.

Who's gonna start the thread about all the Pats reporters saying that Mac Jones has won the starting job? Cam lost his starting job to a scrub rookie partly because he wasn't vaccinated and had to miss a chunk of camp due to covid protocols...

Media has been trying to anoint Mac since day 1. Bill hasn't said a thing.

He did today...

Previous statements have leaned toward Newton being the starter, but that one's kind of non-committal.

Not sure what happens there but there is an awful lot of speculation from multiple sources.

Just think, we traded them a starting qb for a sixth rounder.

Teddy probably would have got a 2nd yr if he didn't throw the coaches under the bus for him missing a wide open WR for the game winner. He also showed his true colors blaming everyone else on his way out the door. Not someone I would want leading my team.

I think it was just as much the fact it was abundantly clear he lost multiple games with his inability to push the ball down the field.  I don't think the coaches saw his arm strength magically improving, nor him getting some killer instinct.

What does that mean?

A gunslinger, meaning he just lobs the ball up. I added true to that as that is his (only) plus aka as said, arm strength. He is a prototypical gun slinger. Just let’s it go and has his receivers fight for it.

Kind of reminds me of a poor man’s Winston. And I can’t think of many successful QBs with that style. Marino, Favre…Stafford maybe….

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By CPF4LIFE · Posted

      So let me ask you this, and this is assuming you watched the first 2 games of the season. The falcons game was a back and forth between to 2 bad teams until bryce throws 2 crucial picks to help atlanta pull away. The second game was a sloppy game where the defense scored and our offense did absolutely nothing till the 4th quarter, bryce even fumbles and saints return for a TD. If Dalton starts both of those games is the outcome and playout still the same for both games?

      sure.  I acknowledge we had a rookie making rookie mistakes.  You fail to acknowledge a pushing 40 Dalton however paired up in this trainwreck wasn't going to yield significantly better results. good results.   And Dalton didn't even win his game vs a wrecked Seattle D.  Andy Dalton couldn't even find a way for his team to beat the Carolina freaking Panthers in 2022.  A team with an interim HC, that couldn't score, playing like it was 1970.   And Andy Dalton had REAL weapons on the field at his disposal.   All Dalton had to do was score more than 10 points.  He couldn't pull that off.    I probably got as little faith in Bryce as anyone here.   But I'm not willing to go this Andy Dalton route.  Maybe he wins 4ish here.  But he wasn't doing much here.  Dalton isn't Cincy Dalton.

      What do you think really happens here?  Do you think that Seattle loss with half a secondary is a realistic game for Dalton to consistently have?  Do you expect 40 year old Dalton to throw it 60 times and rack up 361 yards while constantly getting hit to work against other teams?  If we played him all year do you think he would rack up 6,137 yards 34 TDs and 0 INTs on over a thousand attempts?  That games wasn't a great game.  We were trailing all game and he threw it against a terrible secondary 60 times averaging 6.6 yards an attempt.  He had one "deep" pass to Chark (wide ass open) for 27 yards who ran another 20 for a TD.  That's not happening against other teams.  I would be surprised if Dalton made it two more games taking those kinds of hits and probably losing both of those games.  Our OL sucked, Our coaches sucked, and our weapons sucked.  Remember Rhule beat Andy Dalton and his Saints offense (which has a better OL and better weapons) just the prior year.  Yeah Matt Rhule...  Darnold put up 43 yards and 2 INTs and Dalton STILL couldn't beat him.  That's embarrassing.
