That reply probably works for every item posted on this thread - yet we keep reading and posting. Go figure.

Well, it is irrelevant to anything related to the game or how the season will play out. So there is that. mtmuley

Bad blood between coach and weirdo franchise QB is about as relevant as it gets.

If they win, it don't mean a damn thing. They didn't hug. Maybe next game they will. mtmuley

Folks have got to get a grip - it’s a game for god’s sake.

I thought they were overachieving un Campbell I like the guy.
People suck!

Campbell is doing a good job...

Saleh and Rodgers are show ponies. That said I wouldn't mind AR getting one last hurrah season...

A perfect ending to ARods storied career would be to make a run all the way to the Super Bowl, only to lose to da Packers.

Agreed.
Rodgers never a favorite of mine, but I like old guy come back stories.
I've also softened on the Jets, the Rex Ryan era had me raging.
They just need to knock off the Swiefs.

...nailed it. Watching the end of the Bengal's game I told my wife, "watch this next play, the Chiefs will get a call and a first down in field goal range."

OUCH!

You are tough...

I agree with Mahomes on the top of the list with a LLLOONNNGGG step to #2.

I think Burrows and Allen (esp. Allen) are way overrated, primarily because they have large caliber guns, but I think Allen in particular, does the Lamar thing and makes dumb mistakes in the process.

Rodgers, is/was certainly up there with Mahomes, but anymore, I don't know. I did not watch him yesterday and it's been 2 yrs since he even played. I predict he will underthrow a fair number of long balls this year, like Brady did.

Stroud is really good and smart.

Some of the others are good, but probably not Purdy good. I would put Purdy in the top 5 easily. He keeps getting it done. He did not lose it yesterday. Ah well, it makes for an interesting season...

Is Williams going to come around? I wonder.

Allen is routinely asked to do things other qbs arent. Hero ball with Josh Allen works too often - so the bills lean on him too much.

Other than diggs - his weapons have been underwhelming.

Bryce Young could go down as the worst draft pick ever. The first QB selected #1 overall to be benched in his second year since 1967. His record as starting QB is 2-16.

Panthers bench Young, to start Dalton vs. Raiders

Veteran Andy Dalton is replacing Bryce Young as the starting quarterback for the Panthers after the team's 0-2 start, coach Dave Canales said Monday.

The comeback was rolling but fell short.
Thanks for reminder, I've been avoiding some logs in my field.

Ya know I am a Cowboy fan, but thankfully the refs were also today. Even with their help we couldn't make it all the way back.

I just watched 4th quarter. Not much time for day games. It's Fall...and it goes fast.

This is fun the young qb has one game where he looked flustered against a notoriously tuff defensive scheme and suddenly he's worse than Tua, Lawrence, Prescott and Mayfield.
Look at some of the wost games those guys have played. Games where they were THE reason their team lost.

Purdy hasnt ever been the reason the 49ers lost he just didn't carry the team to a win.

Though this isn't an entirely valid comparison, but Purdey looked a whole bunch better against Minnesota last week than Stroud did against the same team, the same stadium, and the very next weekend (today).

Meanwhile, Purdey is on the losing end of another game, but without a double handful of his very best players, he put up elite numbers and nearly won the game (actually the Defense lost it).

I'm pretty comfortable calling Purdey an elite, top 5 qb.

But I still don't claim I know much about it...

Dare I say the Vikings not only look like true NFC North contenders but top NFC contenders? Two quality wins now in a row.

Next weeks showdown with the Pack should be good and even though it's early, seems like this game could have huge implications later on
