Did 1 team ever pay Ben boatloads to just go away???
Exactly if Kenny is such a mistake that you need to invite Cancerous Russ onto the team just take another swing or two in the draft at upgrading the QB position cuz Cancerous Russ ain't solving ANY problems, but he'll definitely create some
Neither did I. But that Williamson guy, who does the scouting blurb on Youtube, if he is accurate Wilson will not throw over the middle anymore. He has always been short, but now he can't do the little moves in the pocket well enough to find lanes to make the throws. He is still an excellent deep ball thrower. But Williamson also mentioned the entourage he has to have and all that. It just doesn't seem worth it. It's like some of the better vibes you got at the end of last season, such as they were, will be all blown up by a move like this.
Reminds me of watching that ***-hole Dog Murdering piece of **** Micheal Vick. What a great signing that was. A real feather in our cap. Someone should have been held accountable for that. If any other organization would have signed him we would have torn them apart.
Payton wants his own QB, and that helps with job security because what I understand from some Broncs fans is that Payton's play calling has been atrocious at times and this way he pinned it on Wilson and scapegoated him...what do you think all the yelling at him on the sideline was about? That was for ownership to see. And they didn't want to pay a boat load of cash for a QB that's getting old in the tooth as well. They pick up a new guy in the draft or pickup up a FA then Payton has the excuse of having to " develop" his new QB or he needs time for his FA agent QB to learn his system, ownership is happy because what they perceive as a problem(Wilson) is gone because Payton threw him under the bus... this way it gives you job security for at least 4-5 years. Wilson in 2023 put up more than 3,000 yards, was on his way to 30+ TDs before they benched him, and had a TD to pick ratio of 26 to 8....you think Kenny can match that ratio?
That's the key: he will be cheap to sign. The other thing is maybe fans here don't know the 2023 Broncos defense earned the title of "historically bad." Wilson was always playing from behind, one dimensional, and trying to make big plays to catch up while the D teed off. And yet he still put up good numbers and had a 26:8 TD to Pick ratio. He is not washed, that is an illusion I think.
You type that with a tinfoil hat on?
It's all true. The "Payton wants his own QB" comes from some of their fans and it makes sense when you consider his training camp behavior.
Payton wants his own QB for reasons I stated in another post. If they don't dump him now they are in the hole for another 37 million come 2025.
It might be true. It might not be. Most coaches want their own QB. but to drop RW and a bijillion $$ is kinda weird right?
Probably because LV can give a no bull sh--- answer to becoming the starting QB. I bet the Steelers have some complex, non-committal response to the question, as Ryan Clark and Mark Madden have expressed as likely.
They may not have paid him to just go away, but I believe there were rumors about the Steelers being on the verge of trading Ben. I also happen to believe that most of those former players who opined on Ben were completely full of ****. I guess that was my point, that believing the words of former teammates/players isn’t always 100%. Sure, being released twice should factor in the teams decision, however, let’s not also pretend that MASSIVE egos didn’t exist in BOTH Seattle (Pete Carroll, the locker room), and Denver (Sean Payton the proclaimed genius who’s done about as much as Mike Tomlin).
I think Wilson would be a great sign. While in search for the next franchise guy, we need a bridge quarterback for a couple years to give us a shot.
I hope their answer is non-committal. So much so he goes to LV. What could the possible upside be to Russell Wilson? This isn't the 27 year old version.
No, but the 35-year-old version is much better than the 26-year-old version of Ken Doll, FACT.
I would love to see Kenny light it up. Just to make you cry.
I hope Coach comes back. he would love you. you and him have the exact "same" thought process
Maybe. But how much? As another poster is pointing out...if it gets you to 10-7 or so and a first round exit, so what? And what about all the drama that may come along with him? I just don't see how it advances anything. I'd rather see if Pickett can do better under Arthur Smith, or Rudolph, all day than watch Russell Wilson.
I hear what you're saying and I agree to a point. But Rooney is taking more heat than he is used to; the natives are more restless than usual. He's used to the fans "just trusting" the front office and going along with whatever their narrative is. But with the Internet/social media, etc., fans are better educated and better represented than previously.
