NFL DBs are so goddamn incompetent.
Good way to start the season, with a sCam loss.
Semian looked poised and not in over his head for his first start in the NFL. He looks like he could be a solid starter with more experience. He also showed that he can roll out and get yards on a scramble and unlike Scam he isn't selling out his body for the first down. I expect Scam to start breaking down in a few years from the punishment he takes. It will be interesting to see if Newton can be effective as pure pocket passer when his legs are shot.I would say Semian was almost scams equal tonight. He impressed me with a quick release, athletic ability and he throws a pretty ball (not that it means anything). I did not even consider Semian a draftable prospect in 2015 but he has made me second guess myself. I think it's a great story to see a 7th round player from a school known for academics over sports start his first game and defeat and perform at an equal level as the nfls MVP.
It was a great to see Janovich score on a long td run as well!
Scam still throws off his back foot and at times almost propels himself backwards when throwing the ball. It's a huge mechanical flaw and just a really ugly display of qb play. If he was a white qb he would be criticized to no end for such bad mechanics.
Did you guys see that Olsen catch-and-roll-out-of-bounds to stop the clock just before halftime? Great catch, and a heads-up play that even the commentators had to admit was "brainy," i.e., more intelligent than the average player would think to do. Olsen had a great catch prior to that as well, with a pass too high for him which exposed him to a CB hitting him pretty hard. But he held onto the ball and pressed on. Nice.It's amazing that an unathletic cracka like Olsen is always open. The only thing that can stop him is a knocked-down or inaccurate sCam pass. You would think that all of the supa-affletes on the Denver D would have no trouble with the slow-footed, no-wiggle, plodding tight end.
The media tries to act like it's impressive when he does it. Say stupid **** like "Very few QBs in the league possess the strength to do that".Scam still throws off his back foot and at times almost propels himself backwards when throwing the ball.

Now everyone is complaining that the Refs were not calling helmet to helmet hits. From what I saw of the game they called the only obvious helmet to helmet hit. Scam gives himself up as a QB when he runs with the ball so those types of incidental helmet to helmet hits should not be called because he is not a QB he is a runner. Also it shows how much this game has been softened up when players on the losing team are crying about their team not getting penalties called in their favor.
Personally I enjoy seeing this smug mug get hit. It's comical how childish and arrogant his demeanor is when hes up and how down he gets when things don't go his way.
PS if there was no flag thrown for helmet to helmet on that play, the play is history. He'll get every call his way next week though.
Janovich showing some serious speed there. Who says he is only a slow fullback. Only the dwfs and dumb media. Thid kid
could easily be a running back. He reminds me a little of Peyton Hillis who got his chance with the Broncos. If it wasn't for
the turnovers the Broncos would have a good lead by now. Take care of the football guys.
