In no certain order
Mahomes
Allen
Watson
Burrow
Brady
Stafford
Lamar
Rodgers
Murray
Dak
Herbert

All QBs I would take on my squad right now over RW3
I'm glad the Browns went after Watson than Wilson....well other than all the shit w/ Watson LOL He is in his prime and right now a much better QB. I still think Wilson needs time to gel with this offense though, last night didn't look great at times but he did enough to get the W. I have to give credit to Seattle's defense, they looked like they were on a mission.

Completed 69% of his passes too. Broncos fans would take these numbers every week

Rookie HC is what cost the Broncos that game.

It's 4th and 5, you have a QB who is known for comebacks and making big plays late in games...and you decide to go for a 64 yard field goal in a hostile environment. Really?

I heard a stat today that said the Broncos had 14% chance of hitting that field goal vs a 42% chance of converting that 4th down.

My comments were really more about what I saw from him last year. I didn’t see an elite QB.

Co-sign on this. Then dude doubles down on stupid and burns his last two time outs knowing it was impossible for him to get the ball back. If he was going to hedge like that, you run the FG team onto the field and line up for your kick knowing that Seattle is likely to take a time out to ice the kicker. Then Denver has those three time outs to at least force a punt they can go after. Even there, a blocked punt has to be a scoop and score situation because there likely isn’t time for a FG attempt after the blocked punt or a play from scrimmage. You seeing what I’m seeing in this scenario laid out? It’s like a .00001% chance of actually working out.

You have it right. Best decision is to take the 30-35% chance of Russell Wilson getting you a first down. Dude shit the bed. But as you said, rookie head coach. Hopefully he learns from it. He did everything wrong here.

My quest to defend my Fantasy football title is already in serious jeopardy:
Najee Harris - foot shit. Says he’ll likely play but this is the kind of thing that can linger all season for a skill player
Tee Higgins - takes a concussion in the same game as Harris
Chris Godwin - dude gets cleared to come back on his knee and he blows a hammy right before halftime the other night.

That worm has turned. Had great injury luck last year but it’s coming back in spades this season.

Plus, Wilson was playing well. It's not like being back in Seattle was messing with his head and he was struggling. He had completed nearly 70% of his passes. There was still 20 seconds left in the game. That's plenty of time to convert the 4th down and at least get in better field goal range.

I believe there was more time than that because they were letting the clock run.

Yeah, there was initially because they ran the play clock all the way down before the timeout.

Even if the Broncos convert the field goal, that still leaves the Seahawks time to run a couple of plays and get back in field goal range themselves.

That whole drive didn't make a lot of sense.

The Cowboys better find some help at WR or I’m not sure it matters who the QB is.

Gallup is expected back very soon. They are playing Brown ahead of the rookie, who should get up to speed with a little more work.

They have Lamb and Gallup should be back within a few weeks.

But, their depth is sparse....Noah Brown got more receptions than Lamb last night.
Rookie Jalen Torbert will eventually play over Brown.
