Is that a PS game ? I thought they cancelled PS .

yes a PS game. they did not cancel PS games for this year. They may cut back on them, but so far not canceled that I seen.
they did announce the PS game against the Steelers.
There is a thread that mentions it, about the off season practice schedules.

Yes and he wont get that, jerry will go vets with experience , higher draft picks, bigger names.
Like last year was perfect time to play gilbert, but jerry wanted Dalton to take over for several reasons, dalton has bigger name, and was starter for long time, and was higher draft pick.
Also he was paying dalton way more, and jerry thought it was best chance to win some games, and that is why jerry will always be a loser in football.
And mike is a wus, and probably just went along with whatever jerry wants.
Mike wants to win, but mostly he wants to keep his job, so that means go along with jerry.
Very very true . Jerry will play his stars especially if it is a trade he can take credit for , or as he humbly admitted the blame in most cases .
Mike is increasingly losing all credibility . He picked Nucchi , who seems like a bust , then he failed to get dalton to perform , nor fix the offensive line . Mike failed to utilize Gilbert or give him a chance to succeed. Mike picked his pal as defensive coordinator, another bust . Am wondering now that we have Quinn , why is Mike needed .

Nucchi was a 7th round pick and a rook. Give me a break.
Nobody could ever get Dalton to truly perform in his entire career.
Gilbert? Ha!
The offensive line was going through third stringers. Any coach would struggle.
Nolan? Yeah, that was bad.

But really? You task the impossible upon Mike in this post.

What has Mike actually done to deserve your trust . The packers became better without him , he has made various questionable in game decisions. , not involved much in the draft , lack of judgement in player and coach selections etc etc .
I hope you’re right as we just hope for a better coach after 10 years of jason .

He hasn't earned my trust, but those reasons you gave are not good reasons.

Jones boys evidently dont like Gilbert.:huh:
Been bouncing around the league since 2014 (6th round pick); on 7 teams - most of the time during the off-season or on practice squads; first NFL start 6 months ago to the day....243 yes, 1 TD, 1 INT, 21comp \ 38 att = 55%, 72.2 rating.
Gilbert turns 30 y.o. on July 1st ...is he going to be a very, very late bloomer?
Cowboys should at least bring in a vet or two with more starting experience to compete for the backup position.

Nor could Gilbert. Many backup QB either lost starting jobs or never became a starter but found a good role as a backup like a Colt McCoy. I have nothing against any of Gilbert I also have nothing against brining in any other QB to compete for the backup spot.

I think you missed my point. The broncos don't have an established starter, just the best of a mess. The teams Gilbert played with, at the time, did have a starter to unseat.

lol we they dont ! he serves no purpose really, but jerry needs him for PC's and the
illusion that we have a HC. He may be more of a puppet than JG was.

I never thought they could pick a HC worse than JG, but somehow they managed to do it ! and jerry heard bells! not sure what kind of bells though.

Nothing to add..but who is that in your avatar pic? I need to know for research purposes.
I forget her name, but she is a Brazilian sportscaster famous down there, so do a search on that and add female to it.
Bunch of pics of her online.

Gilbert had that many starts, in that league that folded recently, and he was headed to the playoffs had it not folded.
I think spurrier was his head coach.

He was a winner in that other league that recently folded. Spurrier gave him a chance and he did good, that is why spurrier said what he did.
The age thing isnt a big factor since he hasnt been playing and getting injured and beat up like one who had been playing for say 8 years.
And you cant judge a guy based on one game lol.

I guess the QB whisperer McCarthy sees something in Driskel. I have no idea what.

Some moves just scream Garrett. I guess the ghost of Garrett still haunts the building. Someone please call Ghostbusters.
Don't even think that! I heard if you say his name 3 times, you will suddenly hear clapping in the distance.

What does the word, "truce" mean to you? I told you I consider the discussion closed. Now you just carry on, WTH?

Romo was never forced into the lineup as a rookie. He would have been equally as awful if that had happened.
Cooper Rush was on the team - been with the Cowboys since signing on as an UDFA in 2017. Dallas waived him in 2020 after signing Dalton, but re-signed Rush mid-season. With his previous stint in the Cowboys system - how come Rush didn't get the nod to replace the injured Dalton in the Washington game, or start against the Eagles the following week instead of DiNucci? (McCarthy favoritism)
