Like they'd ever agree to send him to Denver to kick their *** twice a year and win a title right in their face in their own division because of the untapped greatness of Paxton Lynch :lol: :x

It's wild that Pryor is such an elite athlete he can switch positions at the NFL level and be even more effective.

I also feel him on "certain" QB's always getting shots over others.

Pryor has to watch Charlie Whitehurst still get paychecks and a roster spot.
 
The NFL is taking this "No Fun League" business to a new level, prohibiting teams from posting video highlights and even gifs on social media during games.

The league reportedly  sent a memo to all 32 teams stating that posting any unapproved videos will result in a $25,000 fine, $50,000 the second time, and $100,000 for a third infraction as well as "loss of rights to post League-Controlled Content (including game footage)." 

Furthermore, the league announced that "video" means "anything that moves" so gifs from previous games, player celebrations and even pop culture is off limits. For instance, posting gifs from Seinfeld or any other show during the game will be banned starting next Wednesday, October 12th.

According to Mashable:
"Sources from two teams said they feel the new policy is meant to limit the creativity of what teams can do online during games in order to drive attention and eyeballs to official NFL accounts, as opposed to social accounts operated by franchises."

"On Twitter, for example, the memo says "video may not be posted from kickoff until 60 minutes after the conclusion of the game" by teams. The exception is "club 're-posts' of League video.""

"That includes GIFs from previous games of players celebrating, or even pop culture GIFs such as tangentially relevant quotes from Seinfeld or other TV shows. So, for now at least, even moving images of Harambe are off limits during games."

The NFL's ratings are actually down 10% on major networks, and their response is to put less content on social media sites like Facebook in hopes that it'll drive people back to the TV? They think less Harambe memes on Twitter will help their ratings sky rocket? Yeah, that'll work.

But hey, at least the NFL is going to let players wear whatever cleats they want  for one game, right?

Also:
"In the NFL season opener, Darian Stewart of the Broncos was fined $18,231 for an illegal hit on league MVP Cam Newton. Under the new guidelines, had the Broncos or Panthers then used Twitter to post video of the hit that was not a "re-post" of a "League video," the team could be hit with a $25,000 fine — more than Stewart was fined for delivering the illegal hit in the first place."

Ratings are down 10%...so THIS is the brilliant solution they'll implement to reverse the trend. Of course.

The thing that bothers me is how much work he's put into switching to WR and gotten no attention for it.  Meanwhile Tebow wasn't willing to put in the work required to be a TE or play in the CFL without the media attention.

To be honest I was kinda interested to see how Teddy would do without AP.

And it's true. AP held back the overall philosophy that Norv had with the youth movement of this team/offense. There was a strong dichotomy in offensive philosophy. AP wanted the QB under center because he could see the field better and had more success this way, whereas Teddy was tremendously better throwing the ball when in the shotgun. It's hard for any offensive coordinator to change back and forth on running to passing downs with out making it obvious that shotgun will be pass and under center will be run. Then they tried mixing it up, but it took away from the strength's of both players.

WIthout AP, Norv isn't worried about catering to his strengths at the detriment of the offense. I won't say it's 100% a good thing that he's gone, but I wasn't horribly upset and it goes back to what I wanted prior to the season anyway -- save AP for late in games and save him for a playoff run when he will be more useful.

I like where their offense is and where it can go. AP can be a huge asset in January.

pax was not bad coming in for trev. you can see he was still adjusting to the speed of the defense and he had a tough time with long yard reads/routes. i really like what i have seen from trev. if he continues, the broncos might have a tough call as to who will be the qb for the years to come. pax is still learning but he has shown glimpses and has not shown his full potential yet. denver might use one of them as trade bait.
