You don't have anything at QB until you prove that you do. Denver has nothing at QB. None of those guys have proven anything. Until they do they are SHIT! [Reply]
James Palmer stood next to Chase Daniel during the practice against GB, and Chase told him the progression and where the ball should go after every snap. Palmer said that Bo went to the right spot every single time.
Bo Nix is THE guy in Denver…there’s no denying that.
Can he live up to the high standard that Sean Payton expects from a QB. He reminds me of how Brees used to operate the offense.

Sure, he's probably going to be better than what Denver's had in recent years. Shouldn't the bar be a little higher than that? Do you really think his ceiling is anywhere close to Mahomes, Allen, Caleb Williams, Lamar, Burrow, etc?
Anyone who's insulted by Alex Smith comparisons might want to re-watch those Packers highlights. Now wait til he's facing top-shelf first string defenses that have studied his film and learned all his tendencies.
The thing is that nobody really cares if you are impressed. I'm not saying that dismissively. It just really doesn't matter. Starting in three weeks, the bullets will be live, and we're going to see what we're going to see. But the point of a board like this seems as if it's to discuss football. That process doesn't happen in good faith if both parties aren't honestly communicating with each other. And that's my point. Maybe you are so blinded by your hate that you sincerely don't know how to communicate in good faith. [Reply]

Bruh, you were in this same thread pounding your man boobs when you had Peyton. Acting holier than thou, over a football team you root for. Now that it’s going on a decade of futility, you’re back on here acting like we should all get along. Fuck that, and fuck you. It’s the same shit we’ve heard from you front running bitches with every single shitty quarterback you’ve draftee or signed over the last 8 years. Now you’re offended we won’t notice what some scrub ass over drafted piece of shit has done in the fucking preseason. Get a fucking grip. We owe you shit, and you’re absolutely a fucking hypocrite. Looking forward to 3 weeks in when you turds quit circling the bowl, and flush yourselves again. Then it’s back to licking your wounds on the Orange Lame with the other pillow biters. [Reply]
Looking at the schedule and my comment about 9 wins - it will be a fight for them to get there and they have little margin for error given how the schedule plays out.
They would need to go 2-2 in the first 4 games - @ SEA, PIT, @ Bucs and @ Jets.
The next stretch of 4 games is where they need to take advantage and go 3-1 at a minimum - Raiders, Chargers, @ Saints & Panthers.
Start off with 3 of 4 on the road, followed by 3 of 4 at home. Get to 5-3 best case and 9 wins is within reach, go 4-4 and it's a lot harder.
The next 5 games before the week 14 bye week are brutal. @ Ravens, @ KCC, Falcons, @ Raiders and Browns. 1-4 is likely their outcome here (defeating CLE) unless they can steal something from the Falcons or Raiders.
So, if they can finish 5-3 in the first 8 and then 2-3 during this stretch of 5, that puts them at 7 wins with 4 games after the bye week.
Colts, @ Chargers, @ Bengals and KCC --- tough ending but, go 2-2 and they're at 9 wins. Going 1-3 wouldn't be surprising either.
Very very very thin margin of error for them to get to 9 wins and they could definitely fall short at 7 or 8 wins. I'm sure most around here look at it and say they'll be lucky to hit 3 or 4 wins. We shall see.
No playoffs, no chasing a division title - just consistently improve every week, those are my expectations and stay in the fight to finish at 9 wins. I'm not worried about a meaningless 9 wins screwing up a draft position.
