Won a state title at QB in HS, played QB at a Div 1 school for two years and is a world class athlete. Lets say as a QB he is in the top 5% at his position. He completed ONE pass in an NFL game.

Thanks for taking the time to explain it more in Layman's terms. I still think the NFL is just trying to figure it all out as they go. Everyone is still trying to figure this ***** out. It's a load. Titans literally held practices and were photographed by HS kids and the NFL swept it under the rug and went along with Tenn's pleas of ignorance. That was a joke as every fan knew this was not allowed but the NFL decided to gaslight instead. Baltimore had coaches concealing information and purposely avoiding rules and got a reprieve. Denver QBs had a sandwich and the hammer came down. It's a complex situation with a lot of moving parts and that makes it hard to act with consistency. Add the fact the NFLs "punishments" are described with vague terms like 'harsh" rather than specific penalties like "forfeit" or "loss of round x draft pick" and you've got a recipe for what you're looking at now. Denver had to play without a QB. Baltimore should have to play without getting back any player that would have been unable to go on Thursday or afterward, but they will get some back. Tenn got AJ Brown back for their games against us and Pitt due to the delay they caused and a bunch of other teams had their schedules switched around. The more a team has ignored rules, the more the NFL has been forced to bend over. And bend over they have. 1 1

If there are 32 nfl teams with 3 qbs per team, how does your math work out?
Mr. K Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 Only if you have a former MVP and are chasing a playoff spot do you get some days off to get healthy. Stop letting QBs hit the bong and pass it.

As far as NO goes, it was their decision not to play one. 1 minute ago, Mr. K said: Only if you have a former MVP and are chasing a playoff spot do you get some days off to get healthy. Stop letting QBs hit the bong and pass it. They'll be missing that MVP and quite a few others. They had a tough row to hoe before, now they have no chance of winning that game.

And at that point there was not really a "spike" in cases. I dont mind what they do as long as the Bills are winning and the season is still being played.

But I would personally rank based on who is actually in the profession right now. Counting a wannabe QB who is doing something else in life at this point may not give a valid population base.
SoCal Deek Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 Come on Man! The Bills played without an NFL caliber QB for almost a full decade, but we stilled played. 😂 1

The more a team has ignored rules, the more the NFL has been forced to bend over. And bend over they have. Denver had 1 positive test on like thursday or something - you don't postpone a game for a single positive test. The contact tracing determined that the QBs were dumb and ate lunch together knowing they weren't supposed to do that. This happened to buffalo with Knox and Norman - other players missed the game due to contact tracing. Every postponement situation has had multiple positive tests each day and involved closing facilities down. Denver was sloppy with their QBs and it cost them this game. Every other HC knows you gotta keep one in your back pocket for this situation. Edited November 30, 2020 by dneveu
y2zipper Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 Also keep in mind that the Ravens that ended up on the covid reserve list won't be playing tomorrow, so it's not a huge competitive advantage for the Ravens. The league has also been consistently fining teams that violate the protocols.
