It's a good question, isn't it: can Sean Payton revive Russ's career? I think it's all in the "Let Russ Cook" stuff. Russ has always had the moon shots, but the moon shots/let Russ cook stuff went to his head I think Carroll got fed up with trying to get him to work within an offensive system. And from various expert analysis, that was a lot of the problem in Denver, too - there would be guys open, and Russ was just not making the correct defensive read and going to the same place to hit the open man (there were other things too, like receivers not helping him out, and not always having guys open or protection, but there was more "meat on the bone" than he showed.)

But one thing I respect about Denver is they constantly are going for it. also, Elway is an awful decision maker. Elway was an awful GM, but we wasn’t involved in this. The current GM is just as awful though. He traded 2 1st, 2 2nds, 3 players for Russ and then gave him the worst contract in NFL history 2 years before he was even due for an extention. Just brutal Edited February 1, 2023 by Billsflyer12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not throw some around and see if you can make the most out of the Wilson situation with a guy who is supposed to be an offensive genius? If it was just money, I’d be all on board if I was a Broncos fan. For a first and a second when your team is trash with little cap space? No thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really hoping Buffalo would hire Wilks to replace Frazier. He was the guy McDermott originally wanted to be his DC when he was first hired but Carolina promoted him to keep him. I thought with him available maybe there was a chance McDermott would move on from Frazier for him. 4 hours ago, jkeerie said: Good...now Fangio to SF and the Dolphins are SOL.

Scott7975 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 A coach that couldnt do anything with prime Brees is going to turn around a team with washed Wilson. Im not buying it like I bought it last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 8-9, 9-8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Payton had Brees the whole time and every resource to do whatever it took yet he got to one SB total. Not saying he is a bad coach but Payton is a tad bit overrated IMO. He helped run that team into the ground and the are still digging out. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) Bahahahaha this is so stupid. Peyton is the most overrated Coach I’ve ever seen. He struggled to even make the playoffs and missed them many times with Prime Drew Brees throwing for near or over 5000 yards. Broncos in the past 12 months have now invested 3 first round picks (two of which are top nine picks), 3 second round picks, a 5th round pick, 3 players (Including two who were very good starters for Seattle this year) and a butt load of money for: An old Russel Wilson and an overrated coach. That is without question the worst use of draft capital (not to mention the other resources like players and cap space from Wilson’s deal) I have seen since Ditka traded his whole draft for Ricky Williams or since Minnesota sent all those picks to Dallas for that insane moron Herschel Walker. You can rebuild a franchise with all those picks, cash, and players. Yet they chose to spend it on Wilson on the downside of his career and a HC whose record is underwhelming considering he had the 2nd most prolific passer in NFL history most in his prime during his career as a HC. This is why I kept telling all the ridiculous posts on here there was ZERO percent chance Peyton was coming here because Beane would never be so stupid to trade that kind of capital to get an overrated HC. For all that offense, they didn’t win much and didn’t make the Super Bowl but one time (during hurricane Katrina) the lone season they had motivation and actually had a good defense to go with the good offense.

But if Sean asks for permission to talk to him he needs a backup plan, because Frazier would be gone. I think McD and Frazier are good enough coaches to fix the defense. It's the philosophy that needs to change. 2 years of getting torched in the playoffs has to be a wake up call to address this. If not, it doesn't matter who the coordinator is if Sean wants this type of defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best I am hoping is that the FO feels enough heat that they truly devote most of the draft and limited fa assets to improving the oline and helping Josh out. Josh and Dorsey also need to get together and decide who is going to be the grown up in the room. I hate this feeling that we are wasting prime years of the franchise qb we waited a generation for to replace Kelly. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
