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.

why you gotta bring up old poo?!!#%*^€!??

Well, if you want to bring up really old poo, Fangio was our first defensive coordinator (under Dom Capers).

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.

If you are NE, you start Newton. There doesn't seem to be a downside to that approach for the future. Jones will get it eventually but no need to go there now.

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.

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….

Good luck - Marco from tropia voice

With Teddy winning the starting job, my prediction that Teddy will be starting in the league long after Rhule is shown the door is right on track.

You don’t let go of a QB like Teddy Icewater to hold on to a college coach who is unproven at the NFL level.
