Don’t know how serious you are, and I don’t think he’s elite, but I thought it was a bad call keeping Kapaernick as starter when Smith recovered from his injury last year. Obviously, if they had won the Superbowl, It would be another story. And I think Kap will be a good or very good QB, but then and there, I thought they should have gone with Smith, in which case he’d probably still be in SF, with Kap as a backup. Which would be better than what we have now.

You really think KC can beat Denver twice? I think they might be pretty good this year, but I don’t really see the Chiefs losing at Arrowhead or the Broncos losing at Mile High.

Strictly speaking, every team that hasn’t lost or tied yet.

Shall I list them?

Remind me again what the Detroit Lions preseason record was the year they went 0-16.
