Kevin Wilson Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I fully support the Broncos going "all in" on Russell Wilson. As the Rams just showed, and I hope more teams go in this direction, the draft is always more miss than hit. If you can get a bonafide pro bowl caliber player without giving up the farm, I think you should do it. Is anyone that Denver would draft in the first round the next two years going to be better than Wilson? Very unlikely, get your guy. I look at the Bills, and I adore the Bills, but their early round draft picks haven't really worked out lately. This of course is a problem many teams have. I mean they gave up a 1st for Diggs plus a few more picks and it was a great decision, no regrets. If a GM/owner feels their team is on the cusp, go get your Super Bowl and worry about the future later. (one could argue the Broncos are missing a few other pieces but I appreciate the optimism) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And only three drafts ago since they didn’t have the 2020 pick) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Denver had to make a big move at QB this off-season. They have too much talent to not take a swing. Now, granted, this is after they have fucked up every move at QB for the previous five or six years, so it's kinda their own fault they are in this position, but they needed to upgrade one way or another. If Wilson is healthy next year, it's a great move. And it's a lot better than sending 75% of this package to Minnesota for Kirk Cousins or rolling the dice on Trubisky or Winston. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just am saying I support teams going all-in, if it doesn't work it doesn't work but I prefer that to the Broncos signing Bridgewater or Dalton or Mitch and being satisfied with another .500 season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, the Brewers haven't been good enough for me to actually think about them enough to notice. Until I read this, I legit forgot they were ever in the AL and I root for a AL Central division rival.

RIPPA Posted March 9, 2022 Author Share Posted March 9, 2022 Apparently the Cowboys approached DeMarcus Lawrence about what was described as a "pay cut". He declined So now folks believe Dallas will release him (at some point) with the post June 1 designation. If they do so - they would save $19 million 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Log Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I didn't love Wentz in Indy, but who the hell do they start now? Sam Ehlinger is next on depth chart, I believe. Do they trade for someone or draft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Funny listening the justification for Wentz is that if he doesn't succeed in the first year they can just get rid of him and it doesn't kill them too much. Problem is that Wentz is always solid in that first year and then after year 2 or 3 we realize how average to shitty he really is 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the worst quarterback in the league 2 years ago and the coach who loves him the most picked him up off the scrap heap. If Frank Reich doesn't think he has anything left, why does The Football Team? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
