I think that's fair. But I'm not ready to write this guy off yet after five games. IMV, he's got enough equity built up to work his way through this.

And he's not really alone. A lot of QBs are playing below par right now. See Ryan, Brady, Satfford, Carr, Burrow, Murray. Even Rodgers.

How can you possibly not kick the FG to tie it at 12 12?

There were plenty of threads clamoring for us to dump DJ and find a way to sign Wilson. I'm not accusing you, but a lot of people thought Wilson would do well on this offense. I think it's clear at this point he would have been an awful acquisition.

That has NOTHING to do with the present; you (and others) advocated for a trade for a 33 year old QB who showed signs of being cooked last year, to a team that was infinitely less talented than DEN.

He’s playing with a team that has talent galore on offense, and Wilson has absolutely SUCKED thru 5 games.

Truth.


Well, I don't want to go over old real estate again, but Wilson was injured last year and was playing well before he got hurt and towards the end of the year when the thumb started to heal. Of course, that would require you having an understanding of those details.

I keep hearing about all of this talent Denver has on offense. Outside of Sutton, who has actually produced good results, where is all this talent you are talking about?

Well a couple things could have factored in:
- they didn't want a tie
- they didn't think they could stop the colts
- they only needed a yard for a first down

Stopping the Colts and getting the ball back in under 3 min is tall order. The Colts last two drives resulted in FGs and one of only took 2 min to go 70 yards. Maybe the Broncos stop them, but that d did not play well the final 2 possessions. Might have been gassed

Agreed. Hackett and his offense look like they are playing blindfolded.



LOL - of COURSE you offer up an excuse for Wilson...



Have you watched this game? Wilson completed a long pass in the third quarter where two Denver receivers were fighting over a 50 yard pass down the middle of the field. Does that look like an offense remotely in sync?




C’mon man. It’s not just tonight. He hasn’t played well at all. He has plenty of offensive weapons. People complained about, “Let Russ cook!” in Seattle. Well, he got his wish. He’s where he wanted to be. He isn’t cooking so well and, looks like a fork is sprouting from his back.


Meanwhile Geno is cooking pretty well in Seattle. Between what they got in the trade return and how they’re playing this year, Pete Carroll looks like a combo of John Dillinger and Harry Houdini. The guy has really done a masterful job all around.
Wilson and Ryan both suck  
ZogZerg : 10/7/2022 6:45 am : link
Yet another highlight of Ryan getting sacked 10 yards back on a 3rd down when they were in FG range. Ryan also threw the same interception twice.

I still think Wilson will turn it around in Denver. Denver's HC may be worse than Judge.

What a snooze fest that game was.
I am not ready to pronounce  
section125 : 10/7/2022 7:03 am : link
Wilson's demise. On a couple/few plays last night he threw a pass that either he or his receiver misread the coverage. He and the WRs are clearly not on the same page. I do think his arm looks weaker than I remember, but that can be indecision too.

On the other hand, Ryan looked like toast. Dying quails and inaccurate - a deadly combination.

Neither team will leave co-ordinators sleepless.

Gman11 : 10/7/2022 7:05 am : link
in the week. You shouldn't mortgage the future for a declining 33-year old QB when the people around him aren't that good.

So, let's say Wilson comes out of it and starts playing well. They don't have a first or second round draft choice next year to build up the rest of the team.

It was not a good trade. They should hire a better GM like Gettleman, I hear he's available. They could lure him out of retirement.

Should be done away with. The games in large part are terrible. Guys are getting seriously hurt after already not having adequate time to recover from playing Sunday. Thursday night was always a night where there would be a decent college football game on or two. Thanksgiving games are a tradition, if they wanted to maybe sprinkle in a game the Thursday following Thanksgiving that would probably be appealing. But all in all TNF stinks.

Wilson is indeed being paid to play at a high level. And right now, he's failing.

But he's been a great QB in this league for a long time. And I'm not ready to give his eulogy until I see more evidence than five games into a season with a new team and first time HC.

In my view, he deserves the benefit of the doubt to figure this thing out. He's earned that.

Furthermore, I don't buy that he was deteriorating last year. He had a thumb injury. Before the injury, he was play very well. When the thumb healed the final four games of the season, Wilson started to find his game again.

The end of the year, they will probably let go of Hackett and then Wilson and his outrageous contract is the beneficiary. What can they do? He's looked horrible. They're locked in to that for at least four years. Their loss.

Lot of people discredited Pete Carroll with the success of them and how he's now over the hill. Seahawks are lacking everywhere but the wide receiver room and they're allowing career average Geno Smith look good.

Wilson has not won big games since the defense stopped being elite and he lost Marshawn. In fact, he has zero playoff wins in eight years when his defense gives up at least ONE touchdown. Lots of regular season stats and wins, however has failed to win the important ones that also matter in January.

The unsung pieces to this unexpected start for Seattle are the two rookie tackles - Abraham Lucas (RT) and Charles Cross (LT). It looks like Seattle may have solved a critical need in one draft. If so, what a job by Scheider/Carroll.

Wilson was in Seattle for ten years and made the playoffs 8X. They got to two SBs, won one, and won at least one game in the playoffs for six of those eight years. And in the latter half of his career, he had to manage around some atrocious offensive lines. So, I'm not sure what more you want. The guy was a model of consistency.

It feels very strange having to even bring up these points to the board, who act like Wilson was just a passenger in Seattle and not the driver of that bus.

may need to be chalked up to no reps and few starter snaps in the three preseason games. My suspicions are that as these vet qb's and o-lines settle in with the receivers and rb's, that things will look different in a few weeks.

Also keep in mind that DC's facing teams with rookie qb's (or those who haven't played much) or new OC's have no film to study. (and vice versa). You can get away with anything in the NFL for about 4 or 5 weeks. Once the DC's and OC's have enough film to study, you may see some of this stuff sorting itself out.

Ryan, who has thrown for 61,000 yards and closing in on 400 td's, and Wilson who has thrown for 38,000 yards and 300 td's didn't suddenly forget how to play qb and Geno Smith at age 31 and on his 4th team didn't suddenly become a great qb.

not being that good any more or without Pete Caroll and a run heavy / emphasis on Defense team.

The fact is Russ Wilson has never looked good being the focal point of the offense. Caroll didn't like it even though eh made exceptions for him that I am sure is what drove his teammates crazy.

The fact is if you let Russ cook I'd rather go to McDonalds. I would take Chad Powers any day. let alone a supposedly "elite" QB for 230 mil and a ton of draft pics.

Bottom line would you still trade for him as Giant given what you know now? If the answer is yes you have lost your mind.

I was not talking about that. I specifically said when I was talking about. So you decided to cherry pick years without Marshawn Lynch and describe those as the focal point.

Also you are picking a time from 7 years ago! Furthermore QBR? I know this might come across as whatever, but I just think ESPN made up a stat in order to make themselves not look foolish when they hype someone up and they turn out like a Ryan.

It does have a lot of similarities to Eli and Ben. Slow in the pocket, taking bad sacks, less pop on throws/needs to wind up.

He had a very good career - and he still might have some good games - but he's not close to the same guy anymore.

Eventually, the bell tolls even for HoF QBs. And you're not only betting on Wilson, you're betting on Hackett, his staff, and his system all coming together at the same time, before the ungodly mortgage in cap and draft capital comes due. If you're making the play for the established, big-name QB, might make sense to also have an established, HC with a proven system. Maybe the QB is the one missing piece, like Peyton was. Or maybe not. Right now, this doesn't look like it will end well for the Broncos. And btw, this has nothing to do with Jones.
