But i just looked at the defensive roster GB played today....3 names were familiar.

Had no idea they are doing this stuff and it just makes me think that pre-season is a bigger waste of time than ever.

Bo Nix clearly the best QB from this draft stone cold lock it in no chance that ever changes. You know who else was the 6th quarterback taken in his class? A little guy by the name of Dan Marino. Get those presale playoff tickets spots locked down now

Are you saying Mahomes is no longer the best QB in the AFC West?

Without question. When you can get a veteran presence like Bo Nix in the draft it sets the floor high. He’s coming in hot with the experience that only a 30 year old 400 games played rookie can bring

Giver of hope was a pretty mild endorsement from a known Broncos fan wasn't it?

Belichick had some praise for Bo Nix.

Lots of excitement this week in the AFC West with Minshew and Nix being named starting QB's.

Poor Zach Wilson. Goes to the most QB-needy team in the league, still can't win the starting job.

Backup is such a perfect role for him. Probably can have a Linsanity run with his natural talent, but being backup means more time for cougar hunting. Dream spot for him, really.

At least the Broncos will be watchable again this year and not a total laughing stock. May have to hold off on the parade for a while yet though...

Other than remembering him as a big fish in a small little ####ty penn state pond I don’t recall much about him. Guess Philly can never have too many receivers. Reagor replacement?

Reagor hasn't played for them since 2021. More of a Quez Watkins replacement and upgrade on the assortment of ass WR3s they had in camp. When you're convincing John Ross to come out of retirement to compete for WR3, probably time for an upgrade.

He looked pretty promising in his rookie season, but took a step back last year (albeit in a terrible offense)

For a WR3 he is very solid, one of the better ones in the league.

Yeah, his YPC and ADOT were both top-15 in the league during his rookie season, which makes me think the combination of Bienemy being a terrible play-caller and slingin' Sammy Howell at QB might be partially to blame for his mediocre second season.

We all excited for a Thursday night pre-season game? One where the Bears aren't playing any starters according to reports.

Dak might need to slip Trey Lance a few Benjamins for that performance today, Cowboys gonna be rushing to get those extension talks going. Throwing 5 INTs to future Walmart greeters, yikes.

I get that you gotta swing to get a hit but Kyle and lynch don’t get nearly enough flak for the ransom they paid for Lance and lucking into Purdy
