Russell Wilson traded to the Broncos

He just not at his peak level and even the great QBs level off. I never felt Russell was elite at his best as he was helped by a great rushing offense and defense when he was making Super Bowls earlier in his career. 

Lmao, Russ had 42 TD's and 13 picks with 4700 total yards 1 year ago.

Seattle traded two 1st rounders for Jamal Adams.  

 

That team has been second only to Houston in poor personnel moves in the last 5 years. The last 1st rounder they gave a second contract to was Earl Thomas. Let that sink in. John Schneider has been bad since the guys Pete recruited in college stopped coming out.

1. The Seahawks are fools. They essentially chose 70 year old Pete Caroll over Russell Wilson. They should have fired Caroll two years ago and done everything they could to salvage the relationship with Wilson. High quality starting QBs are so hard to find, and they shipped one out for what amounts to peanuts.

2. I guess the Broncos are never going to have to draft a QB again. They can just keep scooping up the Mannings and Wilsons of the world when those players' teams are foolish enough to let them go.

3. Can someone check on Buddy Nix and see if he's even AWAKE? Other AFC teams making big moves, and the Bills are asleep at the switch as usual.

 

Have you seen the QBs they pick when they draft - that is the only way they have ever acquired good QBs.  Elway, Manning, Wilson - none of the drafted.

 

Locke, Osweiler, Cutler, Tebow - uggh gross.

 

If you can make the trade - celebrate it and move on.

I don’t believe this is a 2 year window.  They had a talented defense and multiple stud WRs, but lacked a QB to make plays.  They lost several games last year where the defense fought all game to keep them close and their QBs couldn’t do anything.

 

I think Wilson greatly elevates the offense and he gets WRs involved.  I don’t think their running game is great, but it similar to Seattles - they were 50 yards apart for the year and one team had a QB.

 

I also think this helps with the team sale and the fan excitement- this is a splash move unlike the crap that has been talked about for the Bills.

 

I think this is a great move for Denver and I hope it helps the Bills in the long run by hurting KC and LA.

 

 

I never thought of it that way but I think you are correct.

 

Still I think the Broncos overpaid for an aged QB and mortgaged a lot of their future.

This will slightly increase our chance of being the #1 seed. But it also increases our chance of having to play multiple top 10 QBs en route to the Super Bowl. The less QBs in the AFC the better IMO.

Unfortunately there's nothing we can do about that. We gotta root that Deshaun Watson eventually goes to the NFC (not AFCE). The AFC Is absolutely loaded.

possible but they have some good young talented players...watching them the last few years always thinking if only they had a QB?

What's Aaron Rodgers gonna do now?

Eh I don't agree that this is good for the Bills. Denver has a really good roster that was only missing a QB. They are immediate Super Bowl contenders with this move and they're in our conference. The path to the Super Bowl just got a little harder.

Your gonna have a lot of Bills fans … shoot fans in general … talk themselves into thinking it’s good for their team.

 

Hint for you…

 

It’s not.

And a third rounder...what an awful trade

I mean, I guess they could roll with Drew Lock this year...or maybe this becomes a Trubisky landing spot.  I'm having a hard time seeing the 'Hawks giving up a lot to move up to 1 overall when there's a good chance Willis and/or Pickett will be there at 9...plus, they're already short on picks because of the insane Jamal Adams trade, so it's not like they're suddenly swimming in high draft picks.  I could see them giving up one of their seconds to move up a few slots if a QB they like is there, though...   

 

Yea they might not need to go to #1 but this for the first time is a scenario where I can see it. Them getting ahead of Carolina to make sure they get Willis with a trade to one of the New York teams is very possible now IMO. I don't think they make this trade to roll Drew Lock out there and say "he's the guy." Rolling him out and saying "he is the next 6 weeks" I could see.

probably just get ready for next season

[Chicken Boo]

This is the most talent Russ has ever had around him on offense and by a comfortable margin.

Yeah, I'm not sure how it helps the Bills, other than maybe making it a bit harder for KC to get home-field advantage...

Melvin Gordan is an UFA and no guarantee he re-signs. Noah Fant was there most consistent passing option whom they traded away. Time will tell but I think Denver is 10-7 this season and might miss the playoffs again because lack of running and defense.

I suppose they could also roll with Geno Smith in 2022😄

Jerry Jeudy, Tim Patrick, Javonte Wiliams....they'll be good on offense. They have a good defense too

[HurlyBurly51]

It helps because now we only have to beat 2 AFC teams, at home, to get to the Super Bowl.  We sit at home and let the others knock themselves out.  Let's Go!
