Lol whatever. 

At no point during his time in the league has he ever looked like someone who was more than a low-tier starter, even in NO where he rode the wave. Dumping Cam for Teddy in the first place was a red flag and lo and behold we saw exactly how that played out, and continues to play out in Denver.

With that said Cam is not the Cam of old and will not be saving the day. However, he offers dynamics and hopefully an indication that the brain trust is evolving in their decision making, particularly around the QB position. Sucks that the hold is so deep now though.

Your thoughts on Teddy who is a top 15 QB in this league is of no consequence to the fact that Rhule sealed his fate by dumping a competent QB and turning the team over to someone who won't even be in this league outside of a back up role. 

Going back to Cam was the best choice seeing how Rhule bungled this whole thing from the start.

If Tepper stepped in and overruled Rhule, that doesn't bode well for Matt.

Head Coaches don't tend to last long after they lose the trust of their employers.

Nothing has changed...

...Tepper has been a party to major decisions all along...

...it's the Appaloosa Way.  

Rhule is fine.

Top 15... statistically perhaps, but not a chance in reality. Only the rookies (and maybe not even Mac Jones), Daniel Jones, Hurts, Darnold after the last couple of weeks, and Tyrod could be argued as worse starting QBs and Tyrod might even be a bit better; even Wentz and Goff have shown the ability to win games when the chips are down. Teddy is an undynamic player with no guts, and suck as he has even Darnold completed a 96 yd game-tying drive with the clock winding down, something Teddy failed at 8 times last year with a better OL and better receivers. It was clear by the end of the year that the situation with Teddy was untenable, be it Rhule's fault or otherwise, and the mistake was giving the keys to Sam uncontested.

Other than that I agree with your final sentence. This whole series of events just should never have happened. It will be interesting to watch the team and coaching dynamics over the coming weeks with Cam coming back into the fold. Wonder if Rhule's tune and/or tone change. Guy's got a lot left to prove IMO.

Statistics are reality, they are a quantitative metric of how a quarterback compares to his counterparts.

You're talking about one drive that Sam Darnold pulled out of his bum in a game he sucked for the majority of. I'll rather have consistency than a flash play here or there.

Statistics lie, and/or don't always tell the whole story. I'm definitely not saying that Sam is better because of one drive but it goes to show what Teddy lacks, and it's a critical thing.

From a Cam perspective we know he has that factor. Question now is what else might still be there. Just such a dumb series of events to even arrive at this point.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
