They were mostly healthy through their first 3 1/2 games and only managed to beat the Browns. They got destroyed by the mediocre Chiefs and Texans. In their 5 losses they gave up 177 points, an average of over 35 a game. Their current winning streak has included games against the 4-6 Vikings, 4-7 Dolphins and 2-8 Browns. They have beaten only 1 quality team in the Bears. Yesterday, they barely beat the terrible Browns and only won because Shedeur Sanders was historically awful in the second half. I'm sorry, but this team is nowhere near a "top 10 team"
Also, pointing to a QB's success in college is ridiculous. Tim Tebow won a a Heisman Trophy and 2 national Championships in college and Florida hasn't been nearly as good ever since he left. Despite that, he was a terrible pro quarterback. Who cares if Colorado was better with Sanders, that doesn't remotely make him a good pro prospect. The willingness of people to make excuses for Sanders is insane. In his final preseason game he was 3-6 for 14 yards, 5 sacks for -41 yards and a fumble. Before you try to blame that on the players he was playing with, he was benched for the final drive in that game which the next quarterback led a game winning drive with the same players surrounding him.
