jsthomp2007 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 With the Broncos starting Paxton, it seems the Broncos have officially decided to call it a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

champ11 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 The Raiders have the worst pass defense in the league (also have 0 interceptions this year) so it's a good first match-up for him. This was overdue. That injury sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoundrel Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Paxton is going to throw for three touchdowns in this game (this worked for the Bills fans hyping Peterman didn't it...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsthomp2007 Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 If he does well we will wonder what could have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1234567 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I could see him playing decent. 1) We're clearly tanking the season, so there's really not a whole lot of pressure on him to perform short term. (Although he will need to show something if he doesn't want Elway to draft his replacement) 2) He'll be running a simplified offense, and won't be asked to think so much. 3) The Raiders have a pretty poor secondary.

AKRNA Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 If we run an offense like I described in another thread I think he'll be okay. McCoys system, empty backfields, rapid progressions and multiple reads will be a disaster. Give the kid something he can do and let him play. Don't ask him to be manning/Rivers................ It just won't work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree this is as soft a landing as he can start out with. Still not expecting much. Looked awful in preseason when the D are playing base D with no blitzes or exotic looks. He’s going to have to be a lot better to even be mediocre most weeks. Just this matchup might be the easiest of all the games left. If the Raiders had kept DC Ken Norton I’d be really worried we could win this game. It will still be close. But we can still keep the dream alive for a top 5 pick lol.

The Helicopter Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 There will come a point this season when Lynch and Oz are too hurt to play...and Siemian will go back in and screw it all up by winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebestever6 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 The spread is a Broncos spread with the Raiders giving 5. You figure you get 3 points for homefield advantage. And the over under is 43.5 so don't be shocked to ve impressed by the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncos67 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 It's about as good a matchup as Paxton could reasonably hope for. Honestly, the schedule until the end of the season is fairly soft secondary wise, so we could get a real feel for how good he can be. I'm not expecting much. He'll probably make a couple 'wow' throws, but I'm not getting too excited about his long-term prospects. Maybe I'm wrong and he blows up, but I'm worried about it being fools gold.

Gotta love everything about him, but the intangibles and the gray matter between the years, which unfortunately accounts for about 80% of a quarterbacks success in the NFL.

Scoundrel Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Yes even if Paxton plays a good game we need to take it in context of what defense he is facing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
