Speaking of Rosen, he looks legit out their sans him dropping the ball. 3rd and goal and he shredded the defense for a touchdown :whew:

There’s no reason why Teddy Bridgewater and Tyrod shouldn’t get long term deals with a qb-needy team. They are miles above bums like Tannehill, Bortles, Eli. When Brees retire, I expect one of them to get a long term deal from the Saints and watch them prosper.

The Broncos should've had John Elway at Bridgewater's or Tyrod's house the first day of free agency. The same could've been said for the Jaguars, Skins, Steelers (Big Ben is garbage now and so are his backups), and the Dolphins. The Giants for sure should've taken a look at both of them over Eli who's been playing worse than Ben lately.

Tyrod I agree. Bridgewater I don't agree with.

Teams simply are not chasing after black QB's. They also not trying to give them long term deals. It's sad, really. Tyrod shoulda been handed a long term deal by the Bills.

Teddy was always freakishly accurate. His knee exploding would've never affected that which is why I think he should've gotten a lot more looks.

My new theory NFL coaches treat black QBs in the same way they treat RBs now. There's no concern about protecting them with the playcalls. They only give a fukk about the immediacy of them being a running threat. RG3 had one of the best deep balls in the history of college football, but Shanny needed to save his job so he destroyed the kid's body. Bill O'Brien was on the same path with Deshaun until it became very obvious how well of a passer he is and I bet you now Bill will protect him because the Texans will for sure pick Deshaun over Bill. Meanwhile the Eagles were trying to protect Carson Wentz from the start with how they called plays. He got hurt as a consequence of his own aggressiveness.

Bonus theory: I bet any of you money that LeVeon Bell's agent will be counting every single carry his gets this season. There will not be a repeat of what the Cowboys did to DeMarco Murray. They destroyed him that last season in Dallas and then let him go be a free agent elsewhere. If it's late in the season and his carry count is getting high I wouldn't be surprised to see his back "tighten up" and he's unable to play in games.

I think that’s more of the coaches then s conspiracy, not saying your theory doesn’t have any method. For example, Bruce Arians, the Cards previous coach, instilled an offense that DESTROYED Palmer. It involved leaving him alone in the back field with quick outs and that would have a defender in his face while had to release the ball quick.

I want to see what Tampa does with Jameis. This is his third year right? Mariota has outplayed him but their stats are a bit similar. I know they cannot give up on him that soon.
