Denver Broncos can play tomorrow but no quarterbacks. So they are

[applegrove]

going to get other players to play qb. Pretty funny. One is a back back back up qb and has another role on the team. Another player was a quarterback in another life. Should be wild.

[bigtree]

1. madness

...stupidity.

[applegrove]

2. They won't cede the game and it cannot be rescheduled so...

[Renew Deal]

4. Also, the QB's were found to not be wearing masks when they were supposed to.

[bigtree]

5. dodging the virus is part of the sport

...the ridiculousness and recklessness is stunning.

More amazing to me are the folks cheering them on. It reminds me of gladiators in Rome fighting each other while dodging lions.

[OAITW r.2.0]

3. The Pretend Season.....nt

[doublethink]

6. Maybe old man Elway ... can ...

come out of the upper mgt. position and do what my managers at work do when needed. Ha.

[Reader Rabbit]

30. I was thinking the same.

They'd at least get tons of publicity off of that move!

[Drahthaardogs]

7. Fucking ridiculous

You bet your ass if this were the Steelers the game would be postponed

[applegrove]

8. The schedule is too tight to fit a game in. So it is cede the game or put

non qbs in the position. I hope the line backers are ready.

[Drahthaardogs]

10. Bullshit. I pay for the Sunday Ticket

I pay for a product. This is bullshit

[flying rabbit]

22. The Broncos as product are sitting in the 50% off bin this year anyway.

Might be a more interesting game this way.

[USALiberal]

24. Then cancel your subscription! Nt

[Drunken Irishman]

27. I mean,. that's on you for keeping a subscription during a pandemic season...

You knew shit like this could happen.

[Renew Deal]

15. I think it's happening because the Broncos were careless

Not wearing masks when they were supposed to. The three backups are considered "high risk" right now. They aren't sick yet.

[Drahthaardogs]

23. Yeah and the Titans were doing all kinds of bad things

Their game was postponed

[Renew Deal]

25. There are some funny responses to that.

The Eagles have a backup plan

And this one is serious:

[Hermit-The-Prog]

32. First bullet point in that memorandum is provably a lie.

The safety and well-being of everyone associated with our game remains our highest priority.

If that were true, there would be no practice, no game, no fans in the stands. It's a bald-faced lie.

[sarcasmo]

9. I brought football back!

[Yeehah]

11. It will be nice to see a team running the ball again

The NFL has become too pass-happy for me.

[applegrove]

13. Can you say double reverse?

[Brother Buzz]

12. There's a Freddie Solomon on every team just chomping at the bit

Freddie Solomon played wide receiver for the 49ers, but in his heart, he was a quarterback. He finally got his chance at the end of the wretched 1978 season.

The finale against the Detroit Lions at the Pontiac Silverdome was one of the most embarrassing games in 49ers' history - and certainly the most bizarre. The 49ers fumbled 10 times, losing four. They lost the ball on a muffed punt and threw three interceptions in a 33-14 loss that was not as close as the score indicated.

What kept the game from being a complete farce was Mr. Solomon's turn at quarterback. Starter Steve DeBerg and backup Scott Bull both got hurt, and O'Connor at first turned to defensive back Bruce Threadgill, who had played quarterback in Canada.

Threadgill had a broken hand, but the team was desperate. He had to be taken into the locker room so the trainers could cut the cast off his hand to allow him to take the snaps. Cast-free, he threw two passes; both were intercepted.

With nowhere else to turn, O'Connor gave the nod to Mr. Solomon, who had been a marvelous option quarterback at the University of Tampa.

Mr. Solomon danced around Lions tacklers for 42 yards and passed for 85 more. When he scored on an 11-yard run, Lions fans gave him an appreciative cheer.

[applegrove]

14. LOL!

[Brother Buzz]

17. I remember the game and was totally rooting for him

Freddie Solomon was a genuine players player


The next year, Bill Walsh and Joe Montana splashed, and Boy howdy, they appreciated and depended on what Soloman brought to the table.

[Renew Deal]

16. Von Elway has stepped up

[Brother Buzz]

18. Well, there you go

And I guarantee his team will step up their game and make it all happen.

[applegrove]

21. How old is he? I take it it will not be a running game for him.

[Ferrets are Cool]

19. Did they

have one BEFORE the pandemic hit the team?

[applegrove]

20. LOL!

[Renew Deal]

26. Some people are calling for the return of Tim Tebow.

Also, lots of jokes about the Broncos playing without a quarterback and winning a playoff game.

[madinmaryland]

28. Waiting for Elway Supremo to weigh in on this issue! What about Tebow, Elway?

[GusBob]

29. I fail to see the big deal

The Chicago Bears haven't had a QB in years

[PuraVidaDreamin]

31. CK is ready and in shape

Why are they still dissing Colin?

[jmg257]

33. Aww thats too bad...i have the Saints defense.

(As long as they play)

[whistler162]

34. Can they find two two-bit backs?
