And now we’re on to Bad Quarterback Situations, Part 2.
Actually, it’s more like No Quarterback Situation.
An NFL team has to play a game with no quarterback – and no chance to get one up to speed after finding out 24 hours before the game that the entire position is wiped out due to COVID restrictions.
Enter former Oregon RB Royce Freeman, and former Wake Forest QB/WR Kendall Hinton to try making something happen out of all this.
Normally you never, ever give away two touchdowns to any pro team, and to be totally honest, I hope we get this pick wrong – it would be a blast to see Denver junk ball it up and pull this off.
However, New Orleans has the exact right defense for this – the run D is a killer, and Denver won’t be able to throw a lick. On the other side, Taysom Hill and the Saint offense can be conservative, it won’t make mistakes, and it’ll grind out a win over a team that will give it the old college try.
