CSBill Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I think the point here is, “you didn’t follow the protocols, so here you go. We’re not punishing another team for that. Play without your QB, maybe you’ll take us seriously next time?” ....

They mismanaged their personnel. Not a farce. The Broncos decided not afford themselves an emergency QB knowing the protocols. Fair point, but these games matter at this time of the year. Saints essentially get a pass which effects everyone else in the NFC. And what happens when this guy gets killed out there? Who steps in next? Look I have no issue with a team playing their second or even third string QB. But to put a guy in there that once upon a time threw a ball is absurd. Especially with zero practice. If the league can rearrange things for other teams, they certainly could have done it for Denver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 38 minutes ago, whatdrought said: Former Wake QB, current Broncos ps WR Kendall Hinton likely to start..... anyone else completely shocked if he’s the best “QB” on the field tomorrow? Despite not having a quarterback to go under center on Sunday, the Broncos will not be forfeiting, per Schefter. As for what the next steps are at figuring out a plan at quarterback, Benjamin Allbright of KOA Colorado notes that receiver Kendall Hinton will play plenty at quarterback on Sunday. Hinton played some QB at Wake Forest and completed 53% of his passes for 1,504 yards passing, eight touchdowns, and seven interceptions. Other options include third-string running back Royce Freeman, who is the emergency quarterback for the Broncos. Denver could also run a Wildcat offense centered around Phillip Lindsay and Melvin Gordon if they so chose. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/every-quarterback-on-broncos-roster-ruled-ineligible-for-week-12-after-teammate-jeff-driskel-tested-for-covid/ 30 minutes ago, CSBill said: I think the point here is, “you didn’t follow the protocols, so here you go.

Reks Ryan Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Less than 24 hours before the game, after they previously said Lock was cleared. No time to prepare or find a replacement. How do you not reschedule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sullim4 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 For a league that's supposed to be concerned about player safety, it does not seem like a great idea to throw a practice squad player behind center less than 24 hours before the game. The Broncos should forfeit the game and throw it into the league's lap. They aren't likely to make the playoffs (playoff status has them at a 2% chance) and it would improve draft position, something TSW posters clamored for in the leaner years of the drought.

But again, you know how the protocols are enforced. So the one position that’s especially hard to plug and play should be given careful consideration by the staff. What we do with Fromm is what every team should be doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy point to make as Denver will not be in the playoffs and NO will regardless not the outcome. The NFL does have an issue with fairness as it appears to favor some teams. Another lesson is that Denver should have done the Fromm. If a team does not have a QB on a shelf now I bet they will next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Denver isn’t one of the Leagues favorites. Especially when Tennessee and Baltimore get moved to accommodate them. Crazy!!! I don’t get this - this is exactly consistent with how they have been handling these throughout the season. We had Knox knock out the TE group and we had Norman knock out half the DBs. The only difference is this is QBs and this is why some teams took extra precautions with the QB by having one Quarantined. Titans and Ravens have games moved when there are additional positive cases spreading within the team - not a single player or two with identified contacts.
