Is Denver still (at best) the 3rd best team in this division? Yes. I mean, some of their fans want to pretend this Wilson thing is Manning all over again. It's not. For a lot of reasons. But the biggest and most important one? When Manning was taking his HGH and putting up all time numbers for Denver from 2012-2014, the QB's he played 6 games a year against were; Matt Cassel, Alex Smith, Matt McGloin, rookie version Derek Carr (maybe a Terrell Pryor game too?), and the best, a declining Phyllis Rivers, who led the league in INT's twice in a 4 year span during that time frame. So if Wilson was going up against THOSE guys now, yeah, I'd be willing to listen maybe Denver has a legit shot in the AFC West. But as is he's going up against Mahomes (no explanation needed), Herbert (another young borderline generational talent), and a veteran in Derek Carr, who now has a plethora of strong receiving options to throw to (you know, actual accomplished established guys who have done something in the NFL, unlike pie in the sky dreams of Judy and Hamler, etc.). Yeah, he still goes fetal when the pass rush hits, but he probably won't have to worry about that against Denver since their pass rush is dependent on 2 brokedicks, neither of which can seem to stay on the field for a season. So, yeah, Denver is better off at QB than they were, but the funny thing is . . . . . . . it won't even matter. |

Manning does own the #1 spot for most playoff losses for a QB. Manning is 2nd all time with total playoff games @ 27, while the unicorn has 47. Brady and 47 playoff games is just crazy. |

In the end, I just don't think it's gonna matter with him being in the same division as Mahomes and Herbert for the rest of his career. And as to the aging QB thing, yeah, should have mentioned Rodgers too. That was an oversight. Brees couldn't hardly stay on the field his last 2 years in the league. And his YPA dropped significantly his last 2 years over the 2 prior years. But I think guys like Rodgers and Brady are the exception to the rule, not what should be expected by Top QB's as they age, even with a league that goes out of its way to protect them now. Just my .02 of course. |

We know nothing at this point until the games start... and given the narrative around here with scheduling, we'll see how it all ends this year. It's going to be a brutal season with the division, no way around that and even with Wilson, that doesn't guarantee Denver will finish better then 3rd. It is what it is - Chiefs and Chargers are talented. |

I don't disagree. QBs just are not going to start playing 22 years... but, I do think you'll more playing until they're 40 than we have seen.

Don't forget that Rodgers didn't even play until year FOUR. He sat as a healthy scratch for 3 seasons before he ever really took any hits...
