His numbers are slightly up from last season, with the biggest difference being TDs.
His Yards Per Attempt and Completion % are comparable to last year. He'll end up throwing around the same number of INTs. Teddy's nothing but a placeholder and JAG. Might as well tank with Lock to get a higher pick. |

That would be a very clear sign of Denver actively tanking. Already with Miller, I don't know if people realize that Denver has already lost ALL of its starting linebackers, and then they trade away their best linebacker. Not exactly a sign of team trying to compete. But they got enough draft capital for it to make sense.
But as for Bridgewater, he did just play a pretty decent game, which Denver won, albeit that it was not an inspiring win. The difference, I think, is what would you get for Bridgewater at this point? A 5th? It might be a bit too obvious to trade your starting QB, after a win, where he played decently, for late-round pick. |

How do you stop Von Miller? Evidently you just need to hire Vic Fangio.

It's a strange move considering they are still in play for a WC position...If they were 2-6, it would make more sense.
At least they finally being honest about their future....must not have much faith in this 2021 roster. |

If Paton trades Bridgewater, that would make it even more clear. Fangio has been oddly stubborn in sticking with Bridgewater this season, when Bridgewater had a concussion, then injured his leg, and Fangio put him on field clearly hobbled and out of sorts. Presumably Fangio is sticking with a veteran to try to save his job. Not that any reasonable people think Lock would be some kind of miracle at this point, but all available comparisons have suggested that Bridgewater and Lock are basically 50/50. |

To be sure. I have seen Denver fans lamenting not trading for Stafford--and he may have been a bit better. But it seems to me that the biggest difference is that the Rams have an offensive genius coaching and Denver has--whatever the opposite of genius is. I think most people would take Denver's receiving talent over the Rams'--and I think a decent coach could get quite a bit more out of it, with Bridgewater, Stafford, or another functional QB.

Rams are gonna be sick as **** on defense with this addition. Even if it's short term, they are doing all they can to get back to and win the SB. Will it cost them down the road? Sure...but if they win the SB it's worth it. Go big or go home...

And it seems to me you ought to be able to rely on two of your most solid veterans to (1) slide on the bootleg play, as Bridgwater damn well knew he should do, and (2) protect the ball on any rush, as Gordon damn well knows. On the other hand, as a coach, after watching two absolute disasters on 1st and 2nd down, maybe it ought to occur to you to cut your losses and kneel on 3rd down. For whatever reason, the offensive players had lost their minds, and it was completely clear on the first two plays. It is a poor reflection on the coaches that it happened to begin with, but poorer still for them not to recognize and stop it. |

Not surprised he's gone, but it's always kind of amazing how cheap teams can grab potentially game-changing (albeit declining) talent. Chances are the Rams will be picking late in the draft, so this is for a LATE 2nd and LATE 3rd. That's...not much.
