What makes Jarrett Stidham a ‘borderline-starting QB’ for Broncos | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC 

You feel good as a broncos fan or non broncos fan?

@@jakeloftus6966 as a Broncos fan… it’s not ideal but it’s better than past QB rooms we’ve had

agreed, give positive but inspiring reinforcement, Sean Payton is a proven decision maker.

Used to be nfl Europe which is where Kurt Warner got his start

Ur wrong

I'm a firm believer in Russ. The last 10 years couldn't be a fluke, especially because we see players that are aided by the system flame out after 2 years of top play.

I agree with you 100%. Russ just has a lot of people who want to see him fail for some reason. I’m wondering if they e got a demon spirit in them.

@Ramone DeCurta Why would any Broncos fan want to see Wilson fail? The "poor persecuted Russell" thing is all in you head.

I agree with you. I believe that this year will be Russ Wilson’s revival year. Having a good back up is good since any QB can be injured esp Wilson since he is a mobile QB

Raiders = history of poor decisions

That's how bad a coach josh is that Jarrett didn't want to stay and possibly have a chance to start.

​@@doom2547 give McDaniels time, he's from under belicheck with multiple Superbowls

@@cthomas3652 name one thing he's done as a head coach that he deserves more time?

Jimmy’s injured and might get cut so they could still tank

#32 in the league isn’t “overhyped”.

Peterman has always been trash

If you were a NFL quarterback one might value your opinion but guess what? You're not, you're not even a NCAA former Starting Quarterback. My suggestion would be to listen to people who have played the position at the professional level. Before you start thinking you know more than them

That lame line used bye every lame broncos fans

@@dougie-thugie you don’t know football

Russ’s haters want to ignore that, and Rossburg seemed a lot more like Payton than he did Pete Carroll. I actually wish they would have kept him around.

@@dougie-thugie : You can’t even spell simple two-letter words like “by.” Why should anyone care what you think?

Chiefs don’t care. those other two loser organizations might…

Its hilarious. The guy is on his 3rd team in 4 years.Josh McDaniels punted twice but somehow, Stidham is a hidden gem just waiting for his opportunity to shine😴.

Why stidum can read a defense and will push them in ways Russ can’t

Honestly you have to carefully monitor all SEC Qbs. They all have potential to blow up. Go askJalen Hurts, Tua, Matt Safford, MAC Jones, Peyton Manning, Eli Manning, Cam Newton, Dak Presscot, Brice young, Taannhill, .....on and on........

exactly!

Sounds exactly like the whining about how people wanting Drew Lock to fail.

@@stratostatic : Drew Lock isn’t a Super Bowl winner, two-time Super Bowl participant, 9-time pro bowler, winningest 10-year QB in NFL history, fastest QB to 100 wins in NFL history, fastest QB to 30,000 passing yards and 4,000 yards rushing in NFL history, second-winningest QB over the last decade, statistically the greatest 4th quarter QB in NFL history, single season record holder for individual offensive production with 90% of his team’s total offense, active leader in game-winning drives, 4th all-time in passer rating among QBs with 1,500+ attempts, 2nd only to Aaron Rodgers all-time among QBs with 3,000+ attempts and owner of so many records he could put Motown, Warner Bros., Sony, and Arista out of business. And that isn’t even the good stuff! The fact that you would even dare to compare Drew Lock to Russ shows an incredible level of ignorance. Russ is one of the corniest athletes I’ve ever seen, but his performance deserves a lot more respect than it receives. The dude is one of the greatest to ever do it, period.

@Remone DeCurta I wasn't comparing the two QBs, I was pointing out that people like you were also whining and sniveling about Lock not being treated fairly by coaches & fans, genius.

Week 16

@Toolahmontana. I was off by 13 weeks

​@@charlesbell1981close enough🤷‍♂️

That was a stupid move. At the very least, he’s a real heir apparent to Russ in 4-5 years, and we’ve seen how Russ’s backups perform after being his understudy for a few years. Geno is doing quite well. Stidham has great potential. He’s not as talented as Russ, but as Simms said, Russ is going to have to start doing his proper reads, progressions and check downs. He’s must show command at the LoS. We all know he’s smart and can make the throws, and there isn’t a better improviser/playmaker in the game. One thing should be very encouraging. Look at Russ’s face and body. I’m not just talking about the slim-down but the fire in his eyes. He has his swagger back. He’s dialed in. He’s happier than a pig in mud playing for a known harda$$. Broncos fans are about to have fun this year.

Rosen already did to the tune of 3 tds a game.

Too cheap to pay for the rights

Yea Probably not lmao

Agreed

@@DanGeezyPresents possible

week 2. Potato russ won't be able to run.

Agree, wilson sucks

@G Walker hes also played with injuries/ along side practice squad players/ all while playing with Hackett (who was a disaster) as a. head Coach …. Russ bouta be just fine and show all the 🤡s in due time

Exactly. Simms is jealous of him. Russ is the greatest undersized QB ever, and a lot of big QBs hate seeing an undersized QB do what they cannot. It’s their egos. Florio HATES Russ. I remember when journalists were objective…when they didn’t put their personal feelings into everything. The entire profession has followed the changes in politics. There’s no such thing as objectivity and professionalism anymore.

The NFL is paying these dudes to promote Mahomes, Burrow, Allen, Lawrence, and Jackson. Russ is a threat to all of that. He’s the only QB north of 30 who can hang with or beat those dudes, and they really want him to take his money and disappear. Roger Goodell is following the lead of former NBA Commissioner David Steen and the late PT Barnum: he rigs sports! He’s a robber baron. Those guys believed that packages and matchups make the brand better. Because Russ’s peers from 2011 to 2015 all flamed out, there’s no need for Russ because he can’t have any real rivalries. The guys who were ahead of him chronologically were favored when Russ was outplaying them, tbh. Russ was told that he had to wait his turn to be the face of the league while Brady, Rodgers, Manning, Brees, and Rothlisberger were in the league and thriving. Then, by the time it was Russ’s turn, Manning, Rothlisberger and Brees were declining, and Russ’s peers were flaming out or failing to meet expectations. Cam Newton Robert Griffin III Ryan Tannehill Kirk Cousins Andy Dalton Andrew Luck Jameis Winston Marcus Mariota Geno Smith Derek Carr At one point, Levi’s was promoting Russ-Cam as the next Brady-Manning. The league wants those matchups and stories because they sell. If Luck and RGIII had still been around and thriving, and Cam Newton hadn’t suddenly flamed out, Russ would have more value to the league because his peers would still be here and the league would have great rivalries from that group. But they flamed out. So the NFL kept over Russ to promote Mahomes. Russ saw this and was very angry about it, and I can’t say I blame him. The league and its talking heads began touting the KC offense, the explosiveness, the creativity, etc., and using that to promote the false notion that Mahomes was better than Russ when he wasn’t. This made Russ anxious, especially when Russ did as much to win the 2018 MVP as Mahomes did when you control for the difference in pass attempts. Adding insult to injury, Russ’s coach was inexplicably blowing the ends of very winnable games and costing the Seahawks deep playoff runs, almost as if he was doing it purposely. He depressed Russ’s pass attempts, refused to upgrade the O-Line, spent all of his time and attention on defense, and refused to update the offense. He never once sniffed at a top WR weapon for Russ…a true #1, even when the Texans gave away DHop for a pack of chewing gum. And Russ was being hit…a lot! PFF estimated that Russ was responsible for 20% of the sacks he took. That put 80% on the O-Line. Russ understandably became impatient, watching guys win MVPs because his own coach was purposely tinkering with the offense to keep his numbers down. Contrary to the false narrative promoted by the talking heads, the Seahawks were w better team when the offense was 75% about Russ, which was why, in 2020, the Seahawks won the NFCw title. I’m the previous three seasons, Russ had led the team to an additional win each year, broken numerous records, and been the presumptive #2 MVP choice in each of those years. But the NFL community fid t care, because it needed peer rivalries. Luck had been repeatedly injured and finally retired despite putting up a monster 2018 season. Russ was alone! The NFL didn’t like it, so it bypassed him to promote Dak Prescott, Deshaun Watson, Patrick Nahomes, Baker Mayfield, Mitch Trubisky, Josh Allen, and other QBs who would come along. The NFL doesn’t want Russ on top because there’s no story except for the story of him destroying QBs from three generations all by his lonesome. That’s not a good story. The better story is Mahomes becoming the next Brady whole QBs like Allen, Burrow, Watson, Goff, Mayfield, Lawrence, and Prescott do battle with him n alternate years, much like Jordan vs. Magic, Jordan vs. Isiah, Jordan vs. Barkley, Jordan vs. Malone, Jordan vs. Drexler, Jordan vs. GP, and Jordan vs. Ewing. Those are STORIES! They’re red meat. They sell the league. If you want me to say it, I’ll say it: THE NFL IS RIGGED AF, and unfortunately, it is rigged against Russ. Maybe he and Payton can become the compelling combo that can win Super Bowls and make Roger Goodell happy about it, but that will require putting Mahomes on pause and suppressing the other talents, who are now squarely in their primes. If I didn’t know better, I would think Denver’s 2022 season was no accident, and that some people from very high places had a hand in it. Notice how Hackett had a job within a couple of months of being fired for performing one of the worst coaching jobs in league history. Yeah…it’s rigged. By how much, I don’t know.

tell me you don't watch Denver games without telling me you don't watch Denver games

@@SkunkLifeMedia I watched every single game and went to one. But thanks

Hackett was not equipped to handle all head coach duties, and it was the wrong offense for russel wilson's talents

All the above is probably somewhat true. Russ should be better with Sean Payton. Just depends how much better.

@@steviesevieria1868 night and day better buddy … and he will be healthy. So many forget RUSS WAS LITERALLY PLAYING WITH INJURIES ALL OVER THE PLACE 😂 don’t believe the BS narrative out there. Just wait tho 🤫

He said maybe. “Non-zero chance”

That's because stidham can

@@dougie-thugie 😆

That's not hard. Wilson runs and throws, he is not good at reading defences / calling protections. People always blame his O line, but elite O linemen struggle with Russ because he basically ignores them most of the time.

*Jets

I think Russ is going to come out firing on all cylinders and never look back. I’ve said it the whole time: Russ is about to have the best 4-5 years of his career right now.

Another whole new system for the team to adjust to. Fans will be screaming for Payton to put in Stdham thru the first 4 games. Russ knows his career is over if he doesn't get it together by game five.
