Let's go get a winning season! Go Broncos!

I doubt it.

They have shown they play hard for him and Adams and Crosby both want him. I think Davis already has an idea if he wants him or not.

Meh. Not so sure about that. Losing his last two with his “job” being evaluated would be rough for him imo. If he loses this one I am guessing he won’t be hired for the job. If he wins it I like his chances.

If the Raiders win today - hiring the interm coach on a make good contract - will be good PR and would help the Raiders retire some old coaching debt still out there.

Agree- Like I said if Pierce wins today I think he has the job and is a cheap hire for them and a well liked guy within his team.

If he ends the season losing to the Colts and the Broncos then I think it is way more up in the air. Winning today is huge for him, IMO.

Looks like Denver is committed to going for the better draft pick today

Or they are trying and just aren't that good of a team.

Well picking at 12 is gonna help a lot more than picking at 18.

Jarrett Stidham is so poopy…

Best is probably 13. And worst is about 16. Not much difference.

Depends on who we end up taking, you don’t give up as much if you’re closer and want to trade into the top 10.

Disgusting. Does Payton even know offense any more? zero confidence for next year.

He does, but Jarrett Stidham is not Drew Brees. He’s not even Jameis Winston.

Stidham‘s having a much better game than you think he is. The Offense definitely has problems but Stidham isn’t the issue.

That’s pretty funny.

 

[Orange Crush77]

We need pretty much every position, this team is shallow talent wise

 

[Duffman]

That’s pretty funny.

Stidham isn’t the answer clearly, but he played on par with Wilson(despite Russ having a healthy O-Line all year yet Stidham was stuck with Fleming trying to guard Max Crosby) yet cost $40 million less per year. When there's no difference in your $10 million guy and your $250 million guy you a problem and it’s not all on the Offense.

 

[megalodon30]

but he played on par with Wilson

Statistically he was much worse than Wilson and the offense averaged 6 points less per game with Stidham than Wilson. That’s not “on par.”

That he is astronomically cheaper does not even remotely put him within the same stratosphere as Russ in terms of ability.

Jarrett Stidham is not an NFL QB.
