I should clarify: I have no doubt people are being dramatic. A lot of people are frankly pretty stupid. Getting upset over 1 of your two bad options winning is probably an indication if brain damage.

Which is why I don't understand why we acquired him if we were going to run a vertical offense. It's like running a race on a donut and getting pissed when it blows out. Yes, the donut isn't a good tire, but you didn't exactly use it for It's intended purpose. I fully believe the reason Teddy is in Denver is to teach Drew. And if that doesn't work out you draft a QB that Teddy can tutor for a year. I thought that's what we were doing here, but apparently we were trying to win a Super Bowl with spare parts year 1.

I highly doubt that. When your choice is two backups, anyone jumping off a bridge is just being dramatic.

We're paying Teddy to start for the Broncos a little over a year after they evaluated him as a perfect fit for our system under Brady. We then brought in a statistically worse QB who is a perfect fit for our system this year, and also suddenly realized that we don't have a quality backup for the new injury prone QB. That's an overly harsh evaluation, but if Sam doesn't get it done, I don't see how Rhule and Brady recover.

Not really that surprising. Denver is built around it's defense and run game, in very much the same vein as a Ron Rivera team. Having a guy whose not going to turn the ball over, work out of play action, and can command the huddle is what they want. Teddy fits that mold. He'll likely due better there than he did here because the team is built better for what they need him to do.

It would haven taken too much. We're barely a talented team this year, I can't imagine us without guys Brown, and Chinn. I wouldn't mind trading up this year or next to snag one if Darnold doesn't pan out.

Hey man, Madden picked us to lose in the Super Bowl, so things aren't all that bad.

Which is frankly hilarious. Nothing says success like drafting a position you already have a really good starter at, then changing the draft picks position. All while having serious holes everywhere in your roster.

The real question is, can he throw down field like PJ Walker. I mean sure, a 50% completion percentage means 1 in 30 drives will end in a score, but when he slings it through triple coverage and the wrong guy bails him out by making the play anyways... man my pants get tight. Does buster Lawrence do any of that?

Fans are still to worried about the backup QB. If you needed a backup QB you keep the guy who played back up quality last year. This team isn't good enough to worry about a backup QB. If Sam stays healthy we have a shot at the playoffs. If he goes down, no backup in the league we could realistically get is saving us. For real, who are we trading for? Trubisky?

Yes, no one gets better after their 2nd NFL preseason game.

Grier 17/24 175 7.3 ypp Walker 9/29 169 1 TD 5.8 ypp Bridgewater 16/19 179 2TD 8.4 ypp Grier is better by every measure except TDs. Also, throwing Teddy in there, starting to believe it might be the offense.

Now our players, and other teams players get injured more, but they'll be faster before they tear their ACLs. #ExcitingFootballDecisionMaking

We're not a Super Bowl team. We're a fringe playoff team at best this year. Our backup QB is irrelevant. Don't hate either of these guys, but Grier looked better this week running the 2nd team. He also completes a high % of passes, which helps keep drives alive.

Jury is out on Brady. He needs to prove that the main problem last year was Teddy and not the play calling. I felt it was a bit of both.

He's under FBI investigation. Stay away until that's over at the very least.

6/10 for 65 yards 0TDs 0INTs

A little surprised, and a little not. I figured it'd be Teddy, but it's not surprising Cam might be a little shell shocked after being behind our offensive line for years.

I wouldn't say razor thin. The contenders can typically cover up losses with the amount of talent they have overall. The Panthers don't have the talent level to cover up losses like Contenders do.

Burns having a shoulder wrap is a stunning reminder of the razor thin margin this team operates on in terms of health and depth. Not only do we not have NFL starters at every position, especially on the offensive line, the depth at most positions is still pretty perilous. If everything goes right, we could sneak into a wildcard birth. If it goes wrong, we're going to end up looking a lot worse than our talent may indicate at times. I think next year, is the year we have a real shot to be good. Feels like watching Louisville football the last 2 years. You know you can have a decent team, but injuries and a little luck can determine if you can play above your head, or end up in the gutter.

Mixed emotions about this practice. Not often you get to hear about the Panthers and Lamar. Wish our offense would have played better.

I honestly hate WFT. Makes them sounds like a Soccer team. The team name being like a mascot or something unique to the city is part of what makes it American to me. I'm not a rah rah, USA USA, guy that I was in my youth, but WFT just bugs me.

As someone who is not certain if Darnold is going to be good, or get us a draft pick, there is still no doubt in my mind that PJ is solidly a backup. And we're having this conversation because he had a mediocre game against 2nd and 3rd stringers.

I don't think there's anyway Darnold isn't the starter all season barring injury. If you wanted a solid backup, then you should have kept Teddy for another season. At this point, you just have to eat the losses and get a high draft pick if Darnold goes down or isn't the answer. If you're not a contender, then having a "good" backup QB is kind of pointless IMO.

Super Bowl teams have lost every single preseason game. Bottom 5 teams have won every preseason game.
