I'm always on other 49ers forums and everyone is continually bashing Garoppolo because he is a "bad player" but when he's healthy, he's generally a well above average QB - he just has the injury bug. Niners were smart to create the contract the way they did. It's a pipe dream for us to get Lawrence. I would prefer Zack Wilson, the kid out of BYU. Killer accuracy and can evade as good as, if not better, than Lawerence.
That's the life of a 49ers quarterback. Even Steve Young used to complain that the fans never appreciated him and he was always living in the shadow of the legend that is Joe Montana. Interesting that as a whole we're still so picky and critical of our QBs, escpiacially after the revolving door that was the mid-2000s with Tim Rattay, Ken Dorsey, Cody Pickett, Shaun Hill, J. T. O'Sullivan. Oh, those were painful days. Painful.
You're probably right about Spicoli, all the hype seems to good to be true. But, it would suck if we skipped over him and he turns out to be another Mahomes.
Well, that was another exciting game! Could have gone either way for quite a length of it. Even though Marriota didn't turn things around to a W, they were damn close, and I don't think the Raiders are going to forget about that going forward, and next year. Quite a morale buster for Raiders fans who were still clinging to Super Bowl hopes. Maybe next year.
That was a good game, it's good to see Mariota playing again. One of my daughters went to UofO, so I've been rooting for him ever since. I was surprised to see him, actually. I hadn't heard that he joined the Raiders, made me wonder why the Niners didn't pursue him since Garoppolo is hurt.
I didn't place a bet until the Chargers went up 17 to 10 in the second, but then I jumped on the Raiders' bandwagon. I wasn't going to do it, but when I heard Mariota was under center it seemed like a no-brainer. Luckily I cashed-out after the Raiders' overtime fieldgoal. I just didn't trust the Raiders D.
Anyone thoughts on the games today? Was thinking of taking a prop bet for Allen under 2 pass tds. In the last 5 games Broncos only allowed 2 passing tds...might take a stab on Buffalo too. Thinking 23-13 buffalo.
Haven't gone through the props yet, but obviously Green Bay and Buffalo for ML. Denver's defense has been playing a little bit better the last few weeks, but their offense can't compete with Buffalo. Josh Allen is listed on the Injury Report, but he's going to start. If he stays healthy throughout the game, I'd say Bills by a touchdown is a reasonable bet.
Green Bay could struggle running the ball, but when has that hurt Green Bay? Sportsbet.io isn't giving the Packers anything less than a spread of -7.5, which is the most worthless spread in football. I'll take the Pack at -8.5. It's the Panthers for fuck's sake.
