yup Brady is great. Great Fundamentals and thinks the game well. Not a surprise considering he was a catcher in baseball!

Looks like Forsett has a job again. The Lions have picked him up. I was actually pretty surprised that he was released because he was still a good and reliable RB.

The restructured deal has been signed.

Kaepernick, who was signed through 2020, now has a one-year deal with a player option to extend it for another season. Kaepernick can also void the deal before the new league year starts in March and become an unrestricted free agent.
The revised contract eliminates the injury guarantee that was connected to his $14.5 million salary in 2017. On Tuesday, after he was named the starting quarterback for Sunday’s game against the Bills, Kaepernick said he felt “no pressure” to sign the contract before he played in Buffalo.
He also said he didn’t know if his injury guarantee is the reason he didn’t replace Gabbert earlier.
“I really don’t know,” Kaepernick said. “You’d have to ask the people upstairs about that.”

If he goes UFA I honestly don't expect him to land a starting job elsewhere although Cleveland is always in need of a starter. He might get a gig as a backup somewhere.

When did you last watch him? He is a pretty bad RB and his job was taken with ease by a recent Browns backup. He flat out sucks TBH.

I think Ken Dixon will soon break out there with Trestman gone

I only saw week 1 and 2 of this season and Forsett looked pretty decent. Not necessarily explosive but he ran the ball well.

I'm not feeling very confident about the Broncos tonight. I think Rivers is due for a win

Plus have you watched the Chargers this year? No team in recent NFL history has been more charitable about giving games away. As long as the Broncos keep it close until the end, they Chargers will gag it away.

I am quite willing to bet that the Chargers will have a 4th quarter lead in that game.

I'm also very willing to bet that the Chargers will lose by 7 or fewer points when the final gun goes off.

Maybe not such an easy W. Chargers marching up and down the field on Denver so far.

Seem to have given up lately. All arm tackles and half assed efforts.

Holy crap Sylvester Williams is alive? Good for him.

The last thing Bronco fans should worry about is the Chargers holding this lead.

It's been a tough 24 hours in fandom. You'll have to forgive some trepidation.

Just turned it on, love those Broncos lids. Nostalgia talking here, but it could be my all-time favourite lid...well, the original, lighter blue version anyway.

And did I miss something? I thought due to concussion rules, teams could only wear one helmet, regardless of kit. I'm glad to see that's not the case, just surprised
