Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB. 4 6 5 4 6 4 15 2 9 4 3 5 2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5 1 4 1 3 1 1 2 3 4 [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

You don't need 2 feet down anymore when officiating can interpret the rule however they choose. Even if it means bringing back the old rule pre 2018 as the interpretation of the new rule that was meant to correct the old rule. NFL logic

Neither. Stay with Darnold, keep DJ Moore and CMC. Draft Jalen Carter, Kobie Turner in 2023. Draft Drake Maye if Darnold struggles, or Jared Verse if Darnold gets the Panthers 9 wins in 2024. Draft Tyler Shough to backup Darnold in 2025. And stay with Wilks through 2023. Get a new coach if Maye is the pick or give Wilks a defender in Verse if he wins. That's what I wanted at the end of 2022, and CJ or BY were never worth that cost. A QB with a pro pedigree that grades out in the top 20 picks isn't even worth that cost.

Sam Darnold was the 2018 QB. Not Mayfield, Allen, or Jackson. Firing Rhule was the key. Wilks, Darnold, CMC, Rico, TMac, Moore, and Coker would have gotten the job done. Toss in all the extra picks wasted on day one and day 2 project players, and the Panthers have a top defense too.

49ers wishing they had Wilks as their DC again?

NYC wanting to roll it back and give the Bills that PI in the 4th after seeing Bo Nix is out for the season. Backfired on them by giving the Broncos an INT and 2 PIs to move the Broncos into an easy FG

That's a catch if you're the Broncos, Seahawks, Patriots, or Bears

It's not over. NYC isn't allowing a blowout. They will slow the Seahawks down and favor them with 8 minutes to go in the game if they can't regain the lead by the end of the 3rd quarter

The point is if the refs go into the 4th allowing checking and hand fighting to impeded a WR when the Bills could have won the game, then they do that for the remainder of the game and own it. They set it, and can't change it for an honest competition. Bills likely win in regulation with that Cooks catch where the Denver defenders knew he lost and was pulling on his shoulder and arm to keep him from getting to the ball. We have enough fans ready for a new product that pays the best players for a fair competition at the end of the game. There are Broncos fans messaging right now that are happy to go on, but in no way wanted the NFL to interfere like that. This was happening with winning fan bases disappointed with the same interference with their wins when teams were competing to get in the playoffs. Fans don't want to win like that and have a tainted Championship trophy. Broncos fans to this day know what happened in the Panthers Broncos game and just stay quiet when they knew Manning's reputation is what led to that illegal batted ball and the catch they called incomplete to keep the Panthers from having the advantage in the game. It's sad because I love this game, but I am hating this league now. I don't know if this or a player strike is worse for a game about competition. I'd watch MMA or WWE if I wanted sports entertainment.

Everyone has to know the NFL has lost its way by now. This is a waste for a fan who wants to see a fair sports competition. The reviews were suppose to keep refs and NYC out of messing it up. Now, they just leverage it to mess games up and control them at the end to go the way they want

That kick and this game just ended the NFL as sports competition and underlined this entire season as the all in for sports entertainment by NYC. You are witnessing the NFL go full WWE

This makes the NFL 100% sports entertainment and not sports competition

This season has been so messed up by NYC and the refs. They don't care to keep league integrity and actually make this a sport

Should have been PI on the Broncos when the Bills could have won the game if they are calling these now

Refs just handing the game to the Broncos
