    I'd add Shanahan in there despite the recency bias of the Ravens loss.  Those other five you mentioned had their quarterbacks from start to finish.  Stefanski's went through four different starters at QB.  I think that's an easy way for voters to differentiate him between all the other candidates.

    Logically, your statement makes a lot of sense, but last year I made the same case for Shanahan, who went from Lance to Garoppolo to rookie Mr Irrelevant Purdy and they gave it to Daboll.  So, with that in mind, while Stefanski looks like the obvious choice, to me, the obvious choice last year was beaten out by the NYC media darling, so it's hard for me to trust the voters' judgement.  They might just give it to Saleh for surviving the season with his job😃

    Great comparison, neither Rosen nor Wilson appeared to have the physical ability to be legitimate NFL QB’s. I don’t think there’s much to salvage with Wilson. They’re also similar in being two guys with questionable character. Rosen never had the right attitude to be successful in the pros, and I’m not sure Wilson does either. Wilson is getting better at saying the right things, but that doesn’t mean he actually thinks them. Wilson comes access as a dude with a bratty attitude, not a recipe for NFL success at the QB position. 

    When Rosen with Atlanta, there was a story how he changed his attitude & was being mentored by Rich Gannon.  Sounds very similar to Wilson being mentored by Rodgers.

    Hackett never called the plays in GB. That was one of his many issues in Denver. I think it was a lot to Go from not calling plays to being the play called and head coach at the same time.

     

    but I totally agree re Wilson. I am maybe one of the few Wilson fans. I think he can be reclaimed. They mismanaged him from day 1. Reminds me of Tannehill

    in Miami.

    Zach Wilson reminds me more of Josh Rosen than Ryan Tannehill.  I heard the exact same defense of Rosen numerous times as each of the 6 teams that thought they could fix him after Arizona traded him as a one & done brought him in & ended up streeting him.

    Stefanski's definitely winning coach of the year.

    After Daboll won over Shanahan who won more games with a rookie Mr Irrelevant last year I'm not about to crown anyone coach of the year yet. 

     

    The other candidates are Campbell, McVay, Harbaugh, McDaniel (who we can knock out by winning the division) and if he can overcome all the adversity of this season & end up with the #2 seed, our own Sean McDermott.  

  4. I have Verizon Fios and in Albany that would mean no CW and more important, no CBS. However I have the TV in my bedroom hooked up to an antenna so all it means is instead of watching on my main TV in the living room, I'll go watch it in my bedroom by simply changing the input from cable to TV. Everyone with some form of cable should have at least one TV in the house set up to switch to over the air channels.  It's so simple even a mancaveman can do it.

    Wilson is so freaking odd, he put in a fairly good season this past year despite the slow start they got back into it. It would be far easier for the Broncos to cut him after next season and they could simply draft a QB and give Russ the opportunity to start next season and then cut him in 2025 or 2026 when it would be easier to cut him cap wise.

    The coach doesn't want him starting next year.  He wants to have a younger QB room that Payton can groom the way he wants them to play.  Russ is too set in his ways for Payton and Payton may be too set in his ways for Russ.

    Considering the Broncos are very much alive for the playoffs they are basically making the decision to move from Wilson now.

     

    Regardless I actually though he had a solid bounce back type of year and can't blame him for losing to the Patriots.

    There are 6 teams ahead of them vying for 3 spots.  They are hardly "very much alive" for the playoffs.

    I understand the theory that we want Baltimore to lose tonight so that they're "hungrier" against Miami next week...

     

    Is there any reason we would want Baltimore to win this game?
     

    It worked so well with Dallas this week. 

     

    I'd rather see Baltimore win & put themselves in position to clinch the #1 seed next week vs Miami. They'll be plenty hungry to get Cleveland & Miami off their backs if they win tonight & set up the clincher next week.  They win this week & next & it renders the season finale meaningless, and they can rest their players if they want.  That makes a win vs Miami MORE meaningful to them.

    Okay.... just want the Ravens to lose now. Put that 1 seed into play for the final week

    It doesn't put the #1 seed in play for the Bills because if Baltimore doesn't win next week & clinch #1, the Dolphins win the division & we're a wild card.

    I watched it thru NFL+ and the stream was horrible. Nearly the entire game was about five seconds of action followed by a one-second freeze-up. After a while, they'd catch up by skipping an entire play. And then, in the fourth quarter, it just stopped and left a "Subscribe" button. So I had to log back in again to see the end of the game.

     

     

    NFL+ sucks. I tried it last year for the Bills Thursday night game & I don't get why anyone would pay to watch games on a phone.  I had the same problems you describe when I tried it last year.  

    I ended up paying for Peacock and it only buffered once or twice.  At a break I shut it down & reloaded & almost caught up to real time.  However, at the end of the game I turned on the radio for the final minute or so and the radio was ahead of the stream by at least 20 seconds.  I put the radio on for the postgame but the Albany station, which had the pregame, cut the postgame off.  I ended up watching Maddy Glab's & Steve Tasker's postgame show on the internet.
