'I WANT KINSHIP, NOT ANIMOSITY'
Backing up Aaron Rodgers requires a lot of patience, but for those who do, the job offers not only a
master class in how to be a quarterback but also a chance to hang with a future Hall of Famer.
By David Gardner
September 2, 2020
When Brett Hundley heard that the Packers planned to pick him in the 2015 NFL draft, his first thought was: .....
Hundley, a record-breaking, three-year starter at UCLA, had already slid down to the fifth round, lower than many pundits had
predicted. But that isn't why he was upset. The problem was he knew he wouldn't see the field anytime soon. He possessed all
the confidence you'd expect from a superstar college quarterback, but he was realistic: He wasn't going to beat out Aaron Rodgers.

Re: NFL News and Notes
How is the NFL determining which games to postpone due to the virus. Some games got rescheduled earlier this year. Now the Raiders could potentially lose their whole offensive line but nothing about rescheduleing from the NFL. They waiting for more testing? But they are also osing practice time if the later tests come back negative.

Re: NFL News and Notes
I really need to say this....
The NFL needs to put in a new rule...NO franchise owner is allowed to be their own general manager!!!!!!!!! Might be the ONLY way to save the Dallas Cowboys from itself!!!!!
Gawd, Dallas is bad!!!!!!!!!!! If it weren't for the pitiful Jets...…...

Re: NFL News and Notes
Unique situation for the Broncos. No QBs available for the game due to Covid. Why not cancel the game? They have done so for others.

Re: NFL News and Notes
The NFL won't do it. They need to add a week 18 for any games that needs to be postponed but due to T.V. contracts.....
And yet, the league bends over backwards for the Steelers-Ravens game.
Besides, Denver isn't a playoff contender this year hence......

Re: NFL News and Notes
Every Broncos quarterback ineligible to play against the Saints.
Benjamin Allbright
Per league source to me
High risk close contacts need 5 days of negative tests to be cleared. Even it if was moved to tuesday it wouldn't be enough time.

Re: NFL News and Notes
They should just not show up. What's the point of playing if you can't use any of your QBs?

The Missing QBs: Carson Wentz trade caps 8 years of NFL draft whiffs
By Henry Bushnell
February 18, 2021
Jared Goff and Carson Wentz were the first two picks in the 2016 NFL Draft. They'll begin 2021 with new teams. (AP Foto/Matt Marton)
The missing generation of QBs
The gaffes weren't just first-rounders either. The trend applies throughout the draft.
Yahoo Sports analyzed the age profiles of starting NFL QBs throughout the 2010s. Whereas 17 starters were in their 5th-11th
season at the end of 2011, only seven – less than a quarter of the 32 – were in that range by the end of 2019. Those seven
represent the draft classes of 2009-2015, and include three QBs who have since lost starting gigs (Andy Dalton, Jameis Winston,
Jimmy Garoppolo). Only Russell Wilson, Ryan Tannehill, Kirk Cousins and Derek Carr are locked in as starters going forward – and
only two of those four are with their original teams.
