Broncos benching Wilson

[GunnerBill]

It was one of my bold predictions before the season. Wilson is finished.

Considering the Broncos are very much alive for the playoffs they are basically making the decision to move from Wilson now.

 

Regardless I actually though he had a solid bounce back type of year and can't blame him for losing to the Patriots.

They have like a 1% chance

Remember when they hired Sean Payton and he was going to do magic with a short QB in Russell Wilson just like he did with Drew Brees!!!

 

 

What a joke, set the Broncos back few years with nothing to show  for it,  Going to be the same Result for the Jets and no I dont think Rodgers will come back as some incredible QB at 40/41.

He should probably trip on a rubber mat.

Did. Not. See. that. coming.

 

Is there precedent for a team benching their starter when they are still mathematically alive for the playoffs?

I grant that after the last two losses, their odds are apparently very low

Russ has actually had a pretty decent season for the most part even though he's asked to do a lot of things outside his skillet. 

 

Payton was always going to get rid of him after this year and get "his guy".

I can definitely see them going after Kirk Cousins

[BRH]

Maybe he can be Josh's backup next year while he looks for another starting gig

If you need to tear your player a new one do it in private

Maybe he has been doing it in private all year and he reached a boiling point.

OOOOOOOUUUCCCH. 

 

I mean, it might actually be the best chance for them to make the postseason, but even with Sean Payton being a massive upgrade over Nate Hackett, that is a telling condemnation.

He kinda did.

Wilson went from 16 TD's and 11 INT's last season (without Payton), to 26 TD's and 8 INT's this year (with Payton). That's a 75% increase in TD's and a 27% decrease in INT's.

I am impressed with the job Payton has done. The Broncos are worlds better than they were under Hackett last season.

He has had a much better year this year than last year

But he couldn't cover up the fact that Wilson sucks.

Wilson to NY straight up for Daniel Jones

They didnt hire Sean Peyton and pay him up to  $100 million to get 26 TD/8 int season out of Wilson, it was a grand slam contract, either he gets  the Broncos to  win playoff game or two or not.  He likely wont even make the playoffs.  Hiring Payton was, a disaster imo.

You mean other than Nathan Peterman getting the start over Tyrod Taylor?
