I think Broncos would have had a better chance with Stidham, let alone Zach

It baffles me that other teams haven’t learned from what Green Bay has done.

That ain’t it either. That was a terrible use of draft capital

Aside from generational talents, NFL QB success is much more strongly correlated

He was not that good a few years ago.

I don't know how good he would have been as rookie but

Really? Not Mahomes. Not Rodgers. Not Brady. Not Brees. Not Lamar. Not Allen…

Mahomes is the only modern exception. Allen and Lamar both started as rookies, and your earliest example besides them

We’re arguing semantics here. Read through my posts and I’ve been saying play year one. You’re right, I said “day one”
