So is Elway playing QB or what?

So is Elway playing QB or what?

Did Pitt/Baltimore get canceled or just moved to Tues?

Complete BS that NFL cancelled the Ravens but wont do so with the Broncos.

Either both should have played, or neither.

No quarantine quarterback for Broncos

As teams close in on creating their initial 53-man rosters (which are always subject to non-stop change), the Broncos won’t be saving a roster spot for a player who won’t be constantly with the team. Coach Vic Fangio told reporters on Thursday that Denver won’t have a so-called quarantine quarterback.

“I don’t think it’s necessary to be honest with you,” Fangio said. “Plus it has to be with the right guy, somebody that has experience in you system that if the emergency happens you have them there. I don’t think — our quarterbacks have been meeting together all camp. They’re socially distanced like they should be. I think most teams are doing that. There hasn’t been an issue so far, knock on wood.”

Here’s the thing. It’s not an issue until it is. And then it’s a huge issue, if the team has no quarterbacks.

But that’s a calculated risk the Broncos will be taking. And it’s one of the reasons why teams shouldn’t get a dispensation from the Commissioner and his outside advisory committee if, for whatever reason, they don’t have 46 players to dress and/or if the virus and/or injuries wipe out one position group entirely. Football if the ultimate next man up sport, and if a team makes the tactical decision to not keep a quarterback away from the rest of the quarterbacks in the event all of the quarterbacks get the virus, the team should be expected to deal with that development if all of the quarterbacks end up being unable to play, notwithstanding any and all knocking on wood.

The Broncos currently have three quarterbacks on the roster: Drew Lock, Jeff Driskel, and Brett Rypien.

QB-less Broncos and Bears: Who Scores More Points?

Fixed

Hat tip to the Eagles, who are paying Josh McCown $120k to isolate all season in his Dallas home and throw passes to his kids between Zoom meetings with the team in Philly for just this scenario. Break glass in case of COVID taking out the QB room.

Bortles should have been kept away from the team except for being tested. The Broncos deserve to get steamrolled.

Is that true?

If the Broncos win, Reader's head will explode

Didn't a team go mostly Wildcat during the fad for one game?

NO will be playing 9 in the box all game. Sean Payton should make it interesting by punting every they get to midfield and trying to set the record for safeties in a game.

why do they need approval? for what? i thought these were unprecedented times and we need to be flexible... let them play anyone they want. i think bret farve should play a game.

The stated reason is so teams can’t stash back up players on the coaching staff in the future.

If the Broncos have drives in the first few series my head will explode

They got a first down on their second play. Payton should fire the defensive coordinator.

This kid looks pretty rough. I feel bad for him that he was forced into this spot.

I'm sure that he appreciates your concern

I’m sent my strongest thoughts AND prayers so I expect it’ll turn around for him.
