so decent chance Luke goes to the practice squad and becomes QB 3 ?
More than decent. They only have 3 QBs on the roster at this point.
As a lions fan and ever since I got my Kerby jersey signed, I’ve been looking for my next wearable one. So I still standby that if Luke makes the final roster, that’s the jersey I’m purchasing!
I always gotta rep the Orange and (Honolulu at times) Blue!

Being out here in Denver and watching the PB ascension has been somewhat surreal. It’s not like he’s the only guy that has done this, I know, but when you’ve watched a guy from the day he stepped on your school’s campus to what is happening at present it’s pretty neat to watch. And seriously, the media out here absolutely love him as he never turns anyone away and always has time for fans and local media alike.
Given that Payton is an Eastern Illinois guy he knows there have been a few overlooked gems coming out of Champaign. He clearly wasn’t letting that happen here.

Doug Kramer Jr has been signed by the 49ers. Which naturally means he will be injured very soon. Currently the 49ers have 5 Illini.

I just looked up she is a Mizzou grad. Fun to see her giving a cheers to Illinois!
Broncos sack leader:
ESPN ranks Chase Brown No. 9 running back in the NFL:
Broncos are in full-fledged Super Bowl mode.
— Defense is outstanding. 3rd best scoring defense in the NFL last season; led the league in sacks.
— Best best O-Line in the sport.
— Jaylen Waddle / Courtland Sutton / Pat Bryant at WR.
— Dobbins is a good RB when healthy.
— Bo Nix should be primed to take a leap with the talent around him.
Honestly staggering how well they’ve recovered from the Russell Wilson disaster.

The luxury of having your QB on a rookie deal.
They can afford a monster team for now.
Once they pay Nix, they’ll experience significant cap pressure.

Pat Bryant deserves every accolade thrown is way, what a great player and great guy.
And somewhere deep in my posting history is a thread from that QB-heavy 2024 draft, where I said I'd take Nix. Still can't believe five QBs went before him.

True. This is where your GM (and staff) need to be elite, and they are quite good. The R. Wilson debacle wasn’t great but there were extenuating circumstances there; probably a little less on the new GM (Paton) than would be otherwise and a little more on the disfunction of the Broncos organization/ownership debacle post the Pat Bowlen era and pre the Walton-Penner family era. Either way, Paton is a great GM who learned under Spielman for years with the Vikes.

Was at the Purdue game. Could not believe he caught that OT pass in bounds.
