Failllllllled (with an "I" and the eight "L's" Wilson and his team have put up in eleven games despite having a defense that has only allowed an average of 17.6 points per game) is the same NFL savant who told us before the season how much better the Broncos were as a team and an organization than the Seahawks.
He also said Wilson is better than Mahomes.
Going through his previous posts to see the depths of wrongness is pretty entertaining, especially given the continued arrogant tone, as if he knew more about how to run an NFL team than Pete Carroll.
So on how much better the Broncos are, there's
this gem, from which I'll take some particularly great passages.
So wrong in so many ways that it's actually kind of impressive.
For what it's worth, most Broncos fans are furious that Paton took Surtain when he could have had Micah Parsons.
Yes, we can definitely see from the performance of the Seahawks offense and the Broncos offense this season that the problem when Wilson was with the Seahawks was Carroll running "dated schemes that haven't worked for years." Wilson's MVP-quality campaign and the Seahawks' failure to win any games prove once and for all how absolutely right Failllllllled has been about everything all along.
I had almost forgotten that Failllllllled watched some YouTube videos about "cash over cap" and convinced himself that now he also knows how to manage an NFL salary cap better than the Seahawks ownership group and front office.
Here's the link to the one where he explains why Wilson is better than Mahomes. If you have any bladder-control issues, I strongly recommend avoiding reading it completely, or at least controlling the situation (maybe open your pants and read it at the toilet or something) because it is genuinely pee-your-pants funny.
As always, he blames Carroll for every failure and gives Wilson credit not just for every success, but for successes that Failllllllled believes the Seahawks or Wilson could have had without Carroll. Oh, and he gives the credit for Mahomes's success to Reid and the offensive line.
Basically, he's a wordier
@John63.
Carson Wentz, who looks completely washed and hasn't played since week six, still has two more TD passes this season than Wilson, the $161M starter in Denver who's still on the field failing to produce.
Meanwhile, Mahomes is, as always, in the MVP conversation. Mahomes is tops in DYAR (Wilson is 27th), second in DVOA (Wilson is 27th), second in QBR (Wilson is 30th), fourth in passer rating (Wilson is 29th), and second in ANY/A (Wilson is 24th). Tagovailoa is ahead of Mahomes in DVOA, QBR, passer rating, and ANY/A. Mahomes still belongs in the conversation because even though his per-snap productivity hasn't been as good as Tagovailoa's, Mahomes has *way* more passing plays than Tagovailoa (442 attempts vs. 284), so he's produced more overall value, and that's reflected in DYAR.
Wilson's cap hit this season is just $17M (because the Seahawks are eating a lot of dead money from his bonuses), just 12th-highest among NFL quarterbacks, but he's been so downright awful that even that looks like a huge waste of cap space.
Let us not forget that the approach Failllllllled advocated for the Seahawks was pretty much exactly what the Broncos did, and he held them up as an example to be followed, while putting down the Seahawks for not having done the things the Broncos did. Oopsie! That take aged like unpasteurized milk left in a bucket in the barn.
In the same thread, there's
this one, in which he says
Does
anyone at all, even Wilson's family, doubt at this point that Wilson is incapable of playing within any offensive scheme or doing anything other than playing the same "Russball" he's been playing since college?
Wilson was lucky he was drafted by a team with a great head coach who found ways to minimize the damage done to the team by Wilson's deficiencies. And now that he's been separated from Pete Carroll and given the "control" he wanted, he's been one of the worst starters in the league. Garoppolo has been noticeably better than Wilson this season!
