TNF: Saints vs Broncos

Denver goes on a lengthy drive mostly by running the ball. Easy running TD to go up 13-0 on the Saints halfway through the 2nd quarter. 

Bo Nix had a nice throw on the run to Troy Franklin on that drive. He was one of the WRs I wanted the most in the draft. I honestly liked Franklin, AD Mitchell. and X.Worthy more than Legette. But only time will tell which ones will be successful i guess. 

In the very early going out of that group of WRs, Legette and Worthy seem to be better. Not sure those 2nd tier of drafter WR are gonna compete with the first tier of Brian Thomas JR, Malik Neighbors, or Marvin Harrison JR. But we'll see

Looks like the Broncos have figured out they just need to ride Javante Williams.

I played vs Williams alma mater in high school. Small school, but one of the best football school in the Carolina's. They have won a lot of state championships throughout their history.

 

Nate Irving was the star during my time. NC State LB was on his way to being the best college football LB in the Nation. Got in a bad car accident changed his career although he still got drafted he was robbed of his true talent. He was supposed to be up there with Kuechly.

 

Google him he was a beast before the car accident. Also look at the car he's lucky to be alive.

So Rattler looks probably about the same or slightly better than BY for what, a 5th round pick?

Hard to judge Rattler on me just watching him on the first 2 quarters of this game. But I like him more thus far. Had some pretty nice scrambles and throws so far. Has the expected rookie questionable decisions that lead to 2 lost fumbles (one didnt count because of defensive penalty). 

Bo Nix looked shaky early like Bryce. But he's since settled down and made some decent intermediate throws.

Neither QBs are really attempting to throw deep. Rattler had one deep pass attempt and his WR tripped and fell before the ball got there.  Theres a lot of short passes and running in this game in general. OCs and HCs are protecting their rookie qbs probably.

    • 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
