Hahahahahahahaha

Lol wow

LOOOOOL

Bwahahahahaha hilarious...

Ha. This writing was on the wall… not shocked. If it’s a swap of late picks, no big deal. It’s certainly not answering the QB need, but it’s depth.

Remember when the Chiefs couldn’t figure out QB and kept taking on these types of guys?

The retrospectives on how disastrous the Sean Payton era in Denver will end up being will be tremendous...

Instantly the best Qb they have.

Zach Wilson did his best vs KC last season.

WE'RE DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED

Well, Zach Wilson has a LOT of talent.

Soon enough we'll be able to answer the question of who made who.

Payton responsible for Brees or Brees responsible for Payton's sucess.

HCSP putting his QB legacy on the line here . . . . .

Woof, tough times in Denver. LMAO

None the less he was traded for next to nothing. The Jets just wanted him gone.

Shitty new uniforms and Zach Wilson all in one day??

For Knowmo

:):):):)

Lol. Tyler Palko was a better prospect than this clown.

Pick swap… 207 for 256. The very least, it’s a depth move and the cost is nothing. No big deal here.

Ha ha, throw some more money at the QB position, you morons.

I 've heard when you're over 65 & on the Medicare. They will pay to have a peckernanny come in twice a week. Hope is out there!

I'm not so sure he's depth

Who’s the next Wilson in line after this one fails?!
https://whateverhappenedtox.com/wp-c...n-1024x580.jpg

Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson! How exciting, what an incredible battle this will be for the starting job! Two alphas with strong NFL resumes duking it out to see who comes out on top! Riveting!!

We are ****ed! Sean Payton did it with Drew Brees!

I wonder if they are acknowledging they won't be able to get a QB they want in the draft.

I don't think anybody believes the acquisition cost was high. What you now have to worry about is Sean Payton thinking he can "fix" the former #2 overall pick.

If you're trading for Zach Wilson and taking on a chunk of his contract for nothing more than depth, it's a shitty move. He's not the guy you want to pull off the bench when your starter is struggling or gets injured.

Now, if Broncos are trading for him because he has some talent (he was the #2 pick for a reason) and Payton thinks he can mine that out of him, well that make sense.

But THAT very much means Payton is putting his QB legacy on the line here, since people still question whether he was really responsible for HOFer Brees.

Yeah I think this is waiving the white flag.

Is this the one who loves him some MILFs? Or the one who got mono? Or is that the same dude?

If they are the same dude, why didn't they just keep Swag Kelly?

Did they just get the better Wilson QB? Probably.

This.

'Depth' makes no sense if you're trading for Zach Wilson.

Plus they save fans some money on jerseys. Just give him #3 and call it good.

I haven’t seen the details on what they are paying on the contract… can’t wait for Perna’s reaction video.

Question for Donk fans:

Do you want Elway back?

Say what you will about him, but his QB moves were never this atrocious, and if they were disasters, the moves were all low risk.

Well, they needed another QB and don’t lose a pick getting him. Depth is more realistic than turning him into a starter.

I remember when we had Matt Cassel and brought in Brady Quinn as "depth"

Would not be surprised at all if the plan is to make him the starter. If he works, then it's a brilliant turnaround Payton is a genius again. If it fails miserably the Broncos finish this tank job they seem to be working on and pick top 5 next year. With Zach Wilson I don't think there is a lot of middle ground.

Oh wow

Bonerz

Another QB bust for the Jets. Ouch

Oh my! LMAOLMAO

They can put back all their Wilson jerseys to full price now! Huge win.

I'm sure someone has already said this, but unfortunately (I mean fortunately), he is now the best QB they have.

Either Stidham/Wilson will likely begin the season as the starter, while whoever they draft will take the season/most of the season to learn the ropes. Stidham/Wilson whoever ends up winning the 'starting' job, will be just a placeholder for whoever they end up drafting. I mean, based just on compensation and what they're paying Wilson, that seems fairly obvious.

...yet still

The glory is just beautiful.

Doesn't seem that obvious to me. Zach Wilson is still a developmental prospect at best. If the Broncos believed they were going to come out of the draft with a QBOTF I doubt they would be making this move.

This prooooooobably isn’t going to go anywhere but he does have talent. He was also dotting us tf up back in week 4.

I think I’d rather they didn’t make this move.

When Bo Nix is your realistic “best case option”… that’s not a very good situation to be in.

All of those fluke wins they amassed last season by getting 4+ turnovers… coming back to haunt them now with their draft position… and with limited resources to move up.

Zach Wilson is pure trash, I watched many games where I would be hoping he would improve but he's just trash I'm telling you.

Rofl

Why would u trade anything for this turd

So your contention is that somehow Sean Payton thinks that Zach Wilson is really the 2nd-coming of Drew Brees?


Sure, that sounds reasonable.


Sean Payton has always been a good if not great evaluator of offensive talent. I doubt he's watched Zach's tape and said to himself "yeah, this guy is really a HOFer!!!" I get that people want to hate on DEN. But Payton isn't Adam Gase or Nat Hackett.

I just assume they're throwing numbers at it but I shouldn't give them the benefit of the doubt at this point.

The only time I've ever seen him look serviceable was when he played us last year. Which is odd because our defense was ****ing good.

Wilson is just the next in a long line of nobody/never will be QB’s for that franchise.

Because the other options are Ben DiNucci and Jarrett Stidham.

I don't know for sure. You could be right, but Payton has made some head-scratching decisions. If they feel, for example, that Penix is going to be a guy they get in the draft, and they have Stidham to be opening day starter, why invite the circus of a Zach Wilson trade? He has to at least believe there is talent there and some possibility that he can be the one to turn it all around. Or maybe they really do think Zach Wilson represents some kind of veteran depth. Feels like we're all kind of guessing.

meh. I can't remember a HC that didn't occasionally make a bad decision or two over the course of a long career. Andy drafted Skyy Moore. Shit happens.




Iirc, Wilson has the better arm of the two, and Stidham isn't mobile, is that right? Well, what does Payton like in his offenses? QBs with decent arms and some mobility. Also, iirc, Stidham is the better pocket passer.

If I remembered those things correctly, well, it looks to me that Wilson is a cheap roll of the dice that he might somehow take to Sean's offensive scheme and coaching and might beat out the rather pedestrian Stidham for the interim starting QB job. If not, he can still be there as QB3 in case someone gets injured. Or if the drafted QB doesn't work out.



I mean, I could be wrong as well. Just saying, based on the evidence, that's what it looks like to me, that's all.

Great Value

Don't know about that. $5.5 million seems like a lot for Zach Wilson. But maybe he'll prove me wrong.

We’re Phukt

$2.7 million

Would you rather them get a younger QB with more upside in the draft? I'll take my chances with Wilson.

They're bringing Wilson in as a "veteran" QB that can help teach their new QB they're taking in the draft.

He's 6 months older than Bo Nix.

They swapped a R6 for a R7 and take on $2.7M … not breaking the bank or giving up picks. Very low risk low expectations move. Depth play.

Sure, but it's entirely possible that he's better than Wilson today anyways.

So does this mean the Jets are going to draft a QB?

I mean seriously, Wilson wasn't the answer, but I'm not seeing who is.

Maybe they think that Aaron Rodgers guy could do it.

Over under on how many quarters of football that guy plays for them?

This, hahahahahaha

Attention Walmart shoppers there is a blue light special in sports. Absolute bottom dollar on QB's for the next hour.

Doesn't matter who they ever have at QB, they don't have Patrick Mahomes. We do , and that right there means another 10 years of AFCW title for us minimum

Fiddle around with Knowmo's new muse Zack, and find out

Wilson played out of his ****ing mind against us.

Makes sense.

Rodgers. But for maybe two more seasons? Not much more than that. So they have to seriously consider drafting an eventual replacement for Rodgers, right? Because it's basically right around the corner.

Lotta MILFs in the Denver metro area, especially if you include Boulder.
