Certainly, but IMO there's a difference between hyperbole and such and downright hatefulness.

Love the creativity.

This still on the table, Dom?

Week 1 of preseason is in the books. It’s almost time to go back and look at the receipts to some of my draft analysis statements because there was a LOT of alignment in how these QBs played this week. ��

Like Bo Nix Balling out and looking Pro ready.

Panicky in the pocket when 1st read goes away, make him move off his spot and he struggles downfield. Almost every pass completed was a designed quick throw except the Sutton catch on the broken play where he was wide open.

He really is Alex.

Clean drop vs 3 Cloud here. He makes the right read into the soft spot, albeit late. However, instead of stepping into this as you’d expect a QB of his experience (and age) he completely abandons his platform and throws unbalanced completely unforced. This is a clean pocket. pic.twitter.com/rcOcOQY1Aw

This is just basic quarters. There’s nothing intricate. Nix finds a guy and it’s a positive play but he bails a clean pocket straight into pressure. Real scary stuff from a 24 year old rookie. pic.twitter.com/KId7KVLTNn

Looks like C1 sending 5, I’m in Nashville without a computer so I don’t have my A22. Regardless, he stares this down, hesitates, then forces it. 21 year old stuff from a 24 year old. There were some positives, but the negatives were too concerning for a 24 year old for my taste. pic.twitter.com/uha6upXhAl

Things like pocket presence and feel should be more refined at his age and experience level.

As to Tex's point about the Huddle, there is definitely a lot of the same thing in the designated Chiefs thread. But there is at least some decent back and forth. Maybe it's due to Knowmo's contributions over the years here. But every attempt at intelligent discussion in this thread is met with - um, how do I say - non-intelligent discussion.

LOL. Seriously? That thread consists of nothing but Denver fans posting negative news about KC and calling every Chiefs poster a meth-addicted cousin fucker.

This thread has plenty of attacks (for which Denver fans have years of condescending trolling to blame), but there are also plenty of legit takes. Remember....Denver hasn't been good for a long time and is not projected to do well this year. Negative predictions are not unreasonable.

You guys thought we were being irrational in our Russell Wilson takes. They turned out to be true and then some. You guys laugh at Pasta and his inside info......yet it's always on the money.

Comparing Nix to Alex Smith is perfectly reasonable at this point. In fact, if anything, it's an insult to Alex Smith because Nix has accomplished jack squat in the league.

The most pragmatic and reasonable Bronco regular here is Mile High Mania, and his takes are usually met with respectful responses. But even he has a tendency to homer it....case in point, he just said that Denver fans should expect to have a winning record this year. Let me remind you that only one team currently has lower SB odds than the Broncos (Carolina). A reasonable take would be "our goal should be a winning record."

You can't post silly things and then get mad at silly responses.

That is absolutely insane. Almost $70 million spent on absolutely NOTHING. The difference that much money could make if spent on actual players would be incredible.

EVERYONE knows Denver really wanted JJ McCarthy btw
