[NFL] 2018 Regular Season

I don't even care if the Chiefs lose. We proved we can hang with New England, even in their stadium.
 
I dare you all to try to find a worse example of an NFL quarterback than Nathan Peterman.
49ers signed QB Tom Savage.

The NFL's "meritocracy" strikes again. The 49ers have wanted to add a third quarterback since Jimmy Garoppolo was lost for the season. For some reason they have settled on Savage, one of the worst quarterbacks we have ever seen take regular snaps in the NFL. Savage has zero movement skills or accuracy. It would be pure cataclysm for the 49ers were he forced into a game behind C.J. Beathard. Considering the reckless nature of Beathard's game, Savage could certainly see snaps. Second-year UDFA Nick Mullens is the other quarterback on the roster.
 
Nathan Peterman has led 36 drives for Buffalo.

26 of them ended with an interception, 3-and-out, or turnover on downs.

19/36 drives gained fewer than 9 yards.

Peterman has thrown nine interceptions on just 79 career attempts. Since 1975, no quarterback has thrown interceptions at a higher rate.

In fact, no current player throws interceptions at the rate Peterman does. Player. Not quarterback…

OVER THE LAST FOUR SEASON, NON-QUARTERBACKS HAVE ATTEMPTED A COMBINED 86 PASSES. ONLY SIX OF THOSE HAVE BEEN INTERCEPTED. THAT’S AN INTERCEPTION PERCENTAGE OF 6.9%. PETERMAN’S INTERCEPTION PERCENTAGE: 11.4%.
When it comes to avoiding interceptions, Peterman is far worse than guys who aren’t being paid to throw a football. And those players have thrown six touchdowns, while Peterman has thrown only three.
 
ESPN's Seth Wickersham reports the Chargers' viability in Los Angeles will be a "major discussion topic among NFL owners and executives at this week’s league meetings."

As Adam Schefter notes, it's a "troubling issue" for the league. The Chargers' PSL (personal seat license) sales have been a real struggle, and Wickersham says the team is expected to revise its Inglewood revenue goals sharply to a more realistic number of $150 million from initially setting it at $400 million. The Chargers are a team without a home as the Rams have cornered the L.A. market, and the Bolts are the stepson to the city. There were whispers last year of the NFL considering moving the Chargers back to San Diego. It should be done, but it would be a total admittance of failure by Roger Goodell and his billionaire buddies.
