The name Wilson shall be a pox upon your house for generations Donk fans! Mwahahahahahahahaha!

Too much weed being smoked in Denver.

One of his scouting reports:

PROS​

• Uncoachable off-platform arm talent. Doesn't need his feet set to deliver strikes.
• Pinpoint to every level of the field. Ranked in the top five in off-target rate this season.
• Flick release. No wasted movement or windup to get the ball out quickly.
• Houdini in the pocket. Can get himself out of tight quarters under pressure.

CONS​

• Had all day behind one of the best O-lines in the country. Some games were glorified 7-on-7.
• Trusts arm almost too much at times and won't set feet on throws.
• Injuries limited him to one year of high-level production against a Group of 5-only schedule.

Will he wear #3? That could help the Donks sell out the old Wilson jerseys.

Not a bad pickup for Bronco’s they got Wilson for practically nothing, Payton is one of the few coaches that can turn Wilson around.

For us, it could have been a case of Zach Wilson or Sam Howell.

Wow, Sean Payton would rather have Zach Wilson than Russell Wilson? Does that say something about Russ or more about Payton?

 

[chris98251]

Tells me bang per buck and coachability headaches were not worth it with Russell.

Zach could be salvaged or at least improved to garner a trade worth more than they paid for him.

 

[nanomoz]

He is only 24. And the arm talent is undeniable.

He wants the right Wilson.

Geno made Jets reclamation projects hot. Vikings and Broncos both banking on it.

I have a feeling that it was Payton's wife that pushed for this trade.

$39M got the Broncos none of Russell Wilson's next 2 seasons. Another $37M would have gotten them all of Russell Wilson's next 2 seasons. The Broncos preferred to keep the $37M to spend in other ways. The Broncos were willing to keep him for 2 seasons on undisclosed lesser terms but a compromise agreement couldn't be reached.

Zach Wilson has 1 year left on his rookie deal. The 5th year option is out of the question so he's a 1-year rental. His improving in 2024 to a level where a franchise tag could be considered seems wildly unlikely. Zach Wilson will become a FA after 2024, and not having his 5th year option picked up for 2025 will disqualify him from the Jets 2026 compensatory pick consideration.

I still think Denver drafts a QB. My guess would be BO AND 3

 

[chris98251]

Well this kid has all the physical gifts to succeed, if Payton can turn the light on upstairs he may be able to be something more then a failed statistic for the Jets. He was in a horrible situation as a young QB despite having a decent line, terrible team and coaching can do that as well. Jets have a long history of breaking young QB's.

 

[nwHawk]

This move “helps” them in the draft to get a qb. Teams might not believe they have to leap Denver now.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Hide your Mom's

 

[Ostatehawk]

Give this Wison #3 and they can still sell all those jerseys.

Probably why they picked him up. Imagine the warehouses full of them in Denver!

GREAT VALUE QB!
