You posted "Why? He didn't win ANY games lol". I simply said that is false and I am right, it is a fact. The starter rule and only playing 1 or 2 Qtrs is an NFL rule, not something I made up. It is actually a good rule because if a QB starts and leaves with lead, at that point if his team loses, it isn't his fault. Let's go to QBR. Do you realize that Trevor Lawrence has a QBR almost equal to Mustache. It is 54.4 to 54.2 and that is even after the game on Sunday where Mustache was awful. Joe Burrow is 26th in QBR at 39.9 so by your logic, AR is better than Joe Burrow by a lot at 45.. See where QBR IS FLAWED. There isn't 5 QBs better than Joe Burrow in the whole league. I actually watch the games and see how players play, so I know who is bad, average, above average, good, very good, or great.

Not much really for me to comment on here, regarding this thread. You guys covered it all. Next man up, Go Colts.

False, Pro-Football Reference shows every stat to every player. Even a QB's W/L record before his numbers. He is 2-2 as a starter, he got credited for the wins over Houston and Tennessee because he started and when he left the Colts were ahead in both games. Having said that, after watching AR play in the 1st 4 games it was obvious to me that teams feared him more than Mustache because of his ability to run (he has 4 Rushing TDs) + he has a stronger arm so he at least can throw deep on occasion. AR was also playing much better than I thought he would, despite what his QBR says. He is damn near 3-1, he led a comeback down 23-0 vs the Rams to send it into OT, he never got a chance in OT because they won the coin toss and scored. If that Rams game didn't get you excited about AR then nothing will.

The news about Grover sucks but I will still roll with the Colts. I am actually 8-4 on my bets not 8-3, I had to correct that. Anyway, that Jags at Saints game looks intriguing to bet on. I am leaning toward the Saints, but I haven't done anything yet. They play Thursday and Lawrence has a knee issue. Jags are also due for a loss. Saints are only a 1-point favorite.

Cool.

It's GOLD all right

Maybe he got on Twitter and had 1 too many Scotches on the Rocks

I 100% agree, we have no way of knowing.

Not really, QBR isn't the tell all. AR was still 22nd in QBR rating, far from the worst. Watson, Howell, and Dobbs all have a QBR rating higher than AR and those QB's have looked like doo doo. I go by the whole picture of what I am watching, not 1 stat to fit a narrative. Kirk Cousins is 2nd in the league in passing yards and he isn't even a top 10 QB. If I wanted to make Yards my narrative, I could say Kirk is the 2nd best QB in the league and great, which is far from the truth.

It is easier on a backup QB that comes in with a lead. Mustache wasn't behind when he came in against Houston or Tennessee, so he had very little pressure, just don't turn it over and run Moss and let your defense make plays.

I didn't see this poll, tough to tell so I voted about the same. AR was playing above average before he got injured though so I was leaning toward decreases but I went same.

Great picking, who would have thought the Eagles and 49ers would lose to the teams they played?? You could have been 14-1.

Before the season started, I felt like AR and Mustache could win roughly the same amount of games had they played all 17. Simply because AR was a rookie coming in and would have growing pains, but I thought he would at least be average. Mustache has been a great backup over the years so I was thinking 8 wins either way. After watching AR play in the 4 games I have seen, with AR playing all 17 - I believe this team may have won 10 this year had he stayed healthy. He was playing better than average.

I think we are playing better this year, only time will tell. Taylor is healthy as well. Like I said I could be wrong, I still see 8-8-1 at worse assuming Mustache doesn't get injured. If our schedule was brutal, then I would pick us to win maybe 5 or 6 games, but it isn't. This is such a week-to-week league. A lot of people are boasting about the Browns because they beat the 49ers but they aren't consistent nor are most teams. Almost everyone had the Cowboys buried after they got thumped by the 49ers, now they are the toast of the NFL after last night's win at Chargers. In all my years of covering the sport, most people overreact after a team wins or loses. For some saying Mustache got exposed and that we are just going to implode is a little overboard. Maybe the Jags are simply better? He had 1 bad week. If he has 2 bad weeks in a row, then that would be concerning. We play some average QB's the rest of the way so Mustache isn't outmatched in most of these games. Joe Burrow is the only elite QB we play the rest of the year. Trevor Lawrence is a top 10 QB.

Hey everyone has opinions. We will see. If I am wrong so be it, then we get a top 10 pick. I just think our schedule is pretty weak.

This is thinking optimistic, but it isn't extreme either. If we do lose one of these that I have as a win, then we would be 8-8-1 like I picked before the season.

I just figured I would get them out of the way. If I need to change a pick because someone major does pop up as injured, I can always change a pick. I usually wait until Weds. or Thursday as well. I am going to wait before I put a bet down .

So far my totals are: Week 1 = 9-7 Week 2 = 12-4 Week 3 = 12-4 Week 4 = 11-5 Week 5 = 8-6 Week 6 = 9-6 61-32 So far my bets, I make 2 a week: Week 1 = 2-0, won $50 on both (+$100) Week 2 = 2-0, won $50 on both (+$100) Week 3 = 1-1, broke even betting $50 on both Week 4 = 1-1, broke even betting $50 on both Week 5 = 1-1, broke even betting $50 on both Week 6 = 1-1, broke even betting $100 on both 8-3 and +$200 to the good. Week 7 picks: Jags 20 Saints 23 Raiders 19 Bears 17 Browns 17 Colts 20 Bills 31 Pats 16 Commanders 20 Giants 23 Falcons 16 Bucs 19 Lions 23 Ravens 20 OT Steelers 20 Rams 24 Cards 13 Seahawks 30 Packers 26 Broncos 20 Chargers 20 Chiefs 30 Dolphins 30 Eagles 31 49ers 24 Vikings 23 -only 13 games this week, 6 teams have Bye's. Getting these out of the way early. Nobody of note got injured on Sunday that would alter my picks. If that changes, I will change a pick if need be. My 2 $100 bets have yet to be decided. I am going to wait to post those when I get full injury reports on teams. Yes, I am going $100 again on 2 games instead of just $50. @Chrisaaron1023, @RollerColt, @Moe, @w87r, @chad72, @VikingsFanInChennai, and others, I just created the Week 7 Pick'em thread.

Browns = W (4-3) Saints = L (4-4) at Panthers = W (5-4) Patriots (at London) = W (6-4) Bucs = L (6-5) at Titans = W (7-5) at Bengals = L (7-6) Steelers = Tie (7-6-1) at Falcons = L (7-7-1) Raiders = W (8-7-1) Texans = W (9-7-1) Colts go 9-7-1 and make a Wildcard. I had 8-8-1 before the season but I also thought through 6 games we would be 2-4. I had us losing at Ravens and we won that one. We are 3-3 so we are a game ahead of schedule. For the people wanting a high draft pick as in top 10ish, you guys are going to be disappointed. Our schedule is too favorable for that.

I had $100 on the Chargers and even had 2.5 points. I lost $100 by .5, so my evening is worse than yours . Iam still $200 ahead for the season, Ravens came through for me yesterday for a $100 win so it is all good.

In 2024, he will have a good year. I am pretty sure of it. Nothing is a given because of health but we have a good roster, and he does have a little bit of NFL experience now as well.

Watching Lamar Jackson yesterday was a thing of beauty. He has it down how to run and protect himself.

Cowboys win and the 49ers lose, football can turn on a dime week to week. After last week, the 49ers players and media were mocking the Cowboys, how the tide has turned

Season is far from over. Division games are crucial. They still play the Lions twice too. So far the Colts are 2-2 in their division, 2 losses to the Jags but we at least beat 2 teams that I think we are better than.
