I hear ya, but he also dominated in the footage I saw and from the reports I read in the joint practice against the Packers on Friday... even a report about how much the Packers first team D was surprised at how composed he was, and about how crisp his passing was.Look its early days.
He definitely looks better than other options we've had since 2016.
But - he also played all the Packers #2 defense.
Give him time to develop but on face value its been a good start. But its way early and the bumps will come.
Im jus tno0t expecting too much too soon.
He'll add wins the W column... we'll get as close to 500 as weve been in a long time - might even get a winning season.
We might even be able to punch a few finasl bound teams in the mouth early days.
Its definitely exciting to have hope again - as tempered as I am with it.
GO Broncos.
Broadly agree. The positive that he's beating up on backups is it clearly shows he's above that level of play, which is more than his co QBs can say. So in any case it's a positive.Look its early days.

There as a play to TP where he looked off the safety and then went to TP - thats a Vet move - not a rookie one. Hes got skills but I just dont want to get too over the skiis just yet.Broadly agree.

I like his quick release, his accuracy has been excellent - especially off platform and om the run - and his coolness under pressure has been amazing. After watching Russ freak out inside clean pockets it's almost bizarre to see a QB just step up and slide out of the pocket like he's having a Sunday jog.
Yeah definitely agree, don't want to anoint him just yet, but my point is he has shown he's above the next level with is fantastic. Doesn't mean he's a superstar but it's about the best we could've hoped for at this point.There as a play to TP where he looked off the safety and then went to TP - thats a Vet move - not a rookie one.

You nervous yet?
its a long season... id be keeping him for now. Get some trade value later maybeThinking that Perine gets cut soon... not sure how he fits in with the other RBs in the room
I was mildly surprised but not overly. Maybe disappointed is more the word. I thought he was our best back last season, but I guess his age and the fact we basically drafted a younger version of him worked against him.Told ya Perine was likely to be cut... I didn't want it to be true though!
Surprised with the WR cuts to be honest, going into the season with 5 on the roster and a total of 4 TEs too!
Well, you weren't far offNext minute ...
